I think it might be related to the “post-crt brightness” setting in the mega bezel shader, then. @HyperspaceMadness

That’s certainly possible, but if the area is black then multiplying the color should still leave it as black.
It would probably be good to take a snapshot with the PostCRTBrightness off and On to see what the difference is, and where the glow is coming in.

Besides glow you might want to try lowering these settings and any others which blend or blur the image:
SIGMA_H = "0.200000"
SIGMA_V = "0.200000"
SIGMA_HB = "0.250000"
SIGMA_VB = "0.250000"
still there with some brightness/contrast kajiggering. They’re more faint than before, though (I had to do quite a bit to make them visible):

Weird. Here are the settings.
Edit: it’s because glow needs to be at -0.00 and not 0.00. 0 is actually 0.001 or something.

Screenshot with modified mask 7 looks waaaaay brighter.
And waaaaay less accurate 
Mask 7 just draws black lines. That’s not what a CRT does. If you’re fine settling for such compromises that’s up to you.
Did you view the screenshot full size? It’s absolutely bright enough, especially with the backlight adjusted to compensate. Downscaling of the mask/scanlines makes the downscaled screenshot appear much darker.

Yeah, right. My old crappy 1080p monitor is running with 100% brightness all the time. This screenshot is still on a darker side or at least that I prefer. So I am gladly take any compromises in terms of overall picture feel then authenticity.
I measured the light output of a pure white screen and it’s over 100 nits using these settings on a crappy IPS work monitor.
These are the only settings that could possibly pass the “Pepsi challenge” of an extreme close up of the actual screen next to the real thing. I’ve been messing with shaders for 10+ years.
Sub 100% mask strength in most cases just results in subpixel artifacts galore, it’s a muddied mess when viewed close up and YES what’s happening at that distance will affect the image at normal viewing distances in subtle but noticeable ways.

“Looks too dark” is not a useful criticism.
Show me a test pattern that this fails and I’ll adjust the settings.
Most consumers think a calibrated image is too dark, maybe this also describes you.

Mask 0 on one of my monitors (Samsung 1080p) that seems to work as it should. Amiga workbench start up screen (with a hand holding a disk). 4 LCD pixels make 2 RBG pixels.

Playing with the settings I posted earlier. There’s no way to increase the brightness further without introducing clipping, washing out the colors or reducing mask strength. Actually, I’ve already pushed it a bit over the top for the sake of brightness.

Has anyone gotten to try using HDR to see if that helps with the brightness issue? I have an HDR-capable TV but no HDR-capable GPU (or Windows machine, for that matter).

What are you using to measure nits, and do you know what are typical readings for crts and monitors?

I’m just using a smartphone app, so maybe it’s BS. Wish someone with better equipment would run some tests.
CRTs typically were around 100-120 nits max, though.
This is what’s holding me up, damn things cost as much as a TV

I have a laptop with GTX 1060 (heavy laptop with a monster cooling system that i saw when i opened it to upgrade to 16gb RAM) and a PC with GTX 1070 which i think that they support HDR but i don’t think any of my TVs support that.

I have an RTX 3070 Ti and two 4K HDR monitors.
What steps do I need to take to get it working in RA?

I think if you enable it in Windows and have the d3d11 or d3d12 video driver, it should “just work”. If not, you may need to enable something in settings > video. Not sure about that, though.
