I appreciate the time you are taking 
I’ve tried various combinations with Mega Bezel including the last one you posted and these are the results:
It also keeps generating those errors in the scanlines when I zoom in to try to square the image with my screen. I have tried more combinations with other Screen Only with similar results. In addition, the parameters of Smoothing Scalefx do not appear to me.
The exact preset I used in the above example was _0__SMOOTH__2__Default.slangp.
Make sure your RetroArch settings are adjusted correctly according to the Mega Bezel setup instructions.
I’m using a 4K screen, I don’t know if that might have something to do with it. If you’re getting scanline anomalies you can try increasing the Integer Scale Offset and see if things improve.
When I long press on my cell phone then tap Open in new tab, then zoom in, the scanlines in both of your screenshots look evenly distributed.
If they’re looking strange on your 1440p screen, you might just need to do what I suggested above and increase Integer Scale Offset.

The shader looks good on my CRT PC monitor despite not supporting 1200p. The only thing I don’t like very much is that it looks a bit blurry. What settings do you recommend to fix this? I am using 896p and 960p
You can increase horizontal sharpness and select scanline type -1.0 or integer scaling. Maybe masks aren’t needed since you are using a CRT monitor. Dunno, since i can’t test it since a while.
But if masks look OK then pick your fauvorite one and maybe try the new no-scanline mode to compensate for you low vertical resolution.

guest.r how far behind is the online updater’s version? I always hesitate to use the latest version you are giving us because i fear that if I hit the online updater for slang it will revert/mess things up…
The online repo version is quite behind now, but you can just copy / paste the latest version over it without much issues, because mostly new features were added with some improvements.
When the latest version gets a bit tested i will ask @hunterk to update the repository.
As a fun fact, the version from a year ago is only like 2.5% faster with default settings, so there is really no need to worry about performance loss.
Are there any shader settings that impact performance in a notable way?
If you throw in magic glow, bloom, halation, mask bloom and mask interpolation at the same time there is up to 18% performance loss. Up to 20% with deconvergence added on top of all.
Using much more taps in the glow pass is also notable, but not too much.
OTOH interlacing and no-scanline mode increase performance quite a bit.

You’re not playing around lately with these updates, I turn around for 2 seconds and come back and see a new update lol. Good stuff
has there any presets for the reshade ports of late?
i have been out of the loop for a while focusing on other stuff.
No, no presets have been posted in this thread, but stay tuned…
Here is an example of the scaled mask 6 preset:
The catch is now different mask width 4&5 setups are possible, very nice for 1440p and 4k…
Definetely has that Trinitron look. Almost spot on, filter, mask and everything.
I tested it on my 4k TV and it looked even nicer. Great experience. I’m somewhat tempted to go 4k on my desktop also, but it could get expensive overall lol. 
Come to the dark side…
The infinite contrast side is the best!
