Major overhaul incoming!
There’s a real charm that can only be present in the image when every effort is taken to preserve the sanctity and saturation of the mask.
I’m not one to shy away from a challenge so hopefully I’ll come up with a solution that makes the transition as seamless as possible.

Oh my God. These are just incredible. I love the Konami logo shots. I’ve never seen them look better.
This has to be one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen I mean damn impressive work!
Wow! Thanks! This is only the first draft!
Lots of tweaking still lies ahead.

I can look at those presets all day, saying this is impressive is an understatement!
We gone eat good!
I wish I had a Sony Trinitron, so I could copy the pattern as well. Sony trinitron looks gorgeous.
Yeah I’ve seen videos of them and they look so nice!
At the moment I’m really happy with my CX 4k OLED saved for it for a very long time but I use it all day and thankfully no burn in. The ability to change from Slot Mask to Aperture from Cyber and Sonkun makes it so flexible and sweet and convenient
It’s not hard to convert your presets to aperture grill from Slot Mask. They’ll look great either way.
Just set both Slot Mask Strength settings to 0 and you should be good to go.
What about deconvergence? Is it the same as well? And aperture grille uses mask 12 as well?
Yep, just make sure you look at the screen or some close-up photos to ensure that that’s what you want.
Once you’re done with that, Shadow Mask is just a couple steps away.
You would just have to play around with the Mask Shift/Stagger and Mask Size settings. I used Mask 6 for my recent Shadow Mask Presets. I also had some Shadow Mask Presets from a very long time ago which used Lottes Mask (Masks 1-4).
I encourage you to try all the Mask Shift/Stagger settings until you get the best one. It’s really not that hard.
Here are some examples:

While I appreciate the attempt at humour, please remember that this thread is for CyberLab Mega Bezel Death To Pixels Shader Preset Pack Support and Feedback only.
This is not the place to promote yours or any other shader or preset pack.
Kindly remove please.
I can tell you that based on this snarky remark and the attitude that you have shown in your own thread it has killed any interest I might have had in your shader. I see nothing special about it. A persons conduct in real life or online is important to me and because of this shameless attempt to promote your own shader in Cyber’s thread I hope that others will follow in ignoring your work.
Dropping “a bunch of stuff” on screen requires good knowledge of how glsl works, math knowledge, C knowledge, research about how a crt works etc, all in all certainly really good skills that you should prove you have first before making these statements
I’m loving your RGB presets Cyber, they add so much depth to the image
Still trying to learn about the Smooth-Sharp-Raw presets, gotta do some study in this thread, it’s really fun!
That CyberTron preset is fire though
Thanks, I appreciate the appreciation @Winter47th.
This is just some early nomenclature I used to differentiate between my presets.
Raw/Pure - No Scale FX, no MDAPT, No Smoothing/Anti-Aliasing of the graphics using special shaders.
Sharp - Slight Smoothing effect applied using Scale FX while keeping the original pixel art as intact as possible.
Smooth - Full Smoothing effect and Death To Pixels (pixelation aka jaggies). This looses some of the resemblance to the original artwork as viewed on a CRT and might have some distortion in text and some other elements due to the Anti-Aliasing algorithms.
You can get a summary of most of the relevant information in the thread by reading the first post.
I’m glad you’re having a good time. I wish I had more time to enjoy my work but I guess you all can enjoy it for me which will bring me another kind of joy.
Thanks, this means I’ve come full circle because I started off making Trinitron (Aperture Grill) style presets then just continued to build upon them, eventually experimenting with other types.
The patent has long since expired so why not call it CyberTron? Lol
Appreciate the explanations indeed!
I’ve found Smooth to work pretty well in Mark of the Wolves, especially looking at the character’s hair strands.
Left Sharp - Right SmoothI know it’s subjective, but it’s the best it could look without destroying the original art imo.
Keep up the amazing work : P
