I’m not sure motion is that bad especially in the horizontal direction. Full masks (as in what the Sony Megatron uses) I think help because there is a lot of black in between phosphors but backlight strobing helps a bit too. You see different motion blur depending on where you look because of what your eyes are doing so you see motion issues even on a CRT especially as you scroll vertically ‘against’ the scanlines. That goes away if you focus on the foreground object rather than the background.

@HyperspaceMadness okay please hold off on bezelfying those presets - @guest.r just showed me a couple tricks involving gamma to get sharper edges and now I have to do some more tweaking. 
Here’s a quick NTSC preset demonstrating the new technique. Look at how clean those edges are!

This looks good. Which of the Gamma settings are you adjusting? Is it that Glow, Halation and Bloom work better at lower gamma levels? If so, wouldn’t lowering gamma also lower brightness? How’s the balancing act done compared to what might have been done before?
Here are some examples from my latest shader preset offerings! Be sure to load full resolution and zoom in enough until they look right.

Gamma has an effect on lighting effects (bloom, glow). Glow looks very exaggerated at 0.01 at a gamma of 3.00. I think 2.50 is probably the cut-off if you’re using lighting effects?
I’m adjusting both gamma values at the same time (in GDV), then adjusting beam shape and brightness controls. I just started a new thread with a link to the settings I’m currently working on if you want to take a look.

@guest.r I went and tweaked that NTSC Resolution Scaling setting again and this time I found a sweet spot that I like. Raising it to 1.10 sharpened things up just nice, 1.15 or 1.20 is even sharper but I didn’t want to over do it. Added in some light contrast this time around as well:

You must have guest’s latest shader update for my presets to display properly which can be found here. Hope you all enjoy.
@HyperspaceMadness this set will replace the last one.

This may come off as not a compliment but here goes. (The goal is compliment tho 
)
Your presets are hitting this interesting place, where to me anyway, they look more like magazine shots of CRTs than actual CRTs. That’s just the vibe I’m getting.
Personally I think they’re a good stylized interpretation of a CRT. (Which honestly majority of the presets on here are just that, stylized interpretations of a CRT)
EDIT: Imho, your arcade preset is doing the magazine thing more than the 8/16bit preset.

I like magazine shots so that suits the arcade preset just fine so thank you. It seems little by little my presets shift a bit, I’m not sure where they’re gonna go next but we’ll see on this journey together lol

I am quite busy ATM and for some reason checked on libretro, but well; I posted the shader I used and you just have to choose the 8th CRT mask and disable GTU on it + somehow make it run off of the VBA filter here: Real GBA and DS-Phat colors
The desert trial map (has sand, vegetation and water) looks so much better with VBA colors alone, it’s amazing

Here’s another tweak, I like what the contrast setting does so I went and played around with it a little more, I also tweaked the sharpness settings on the 8/16 bit preset as well:

You must have guest’s latest shader update for my presets to display properly which can be found here. Hope you all enjoy.
@HyperspaceMadness this set will replace the last one that was suppose to replace the last one lol

Looking good even on my old 900p monitor under standard conditions (that is, it’s bright enough as is, no dim room or alteration to the shader)

I think I need to rework all my presets now

These colours look so much more “right” to me than in any other screenshots you’ve posted before!

Yeah that NES color palette is like a whole vibe.
It’s based on the CXA2025AS decoder, used in Sony TVs. With the 9300K temp it causes nostalgic warm and fuzzies.

Here is some interesting stuff with yesterplay’s DosBOX ECE GLSL Shader support off Tyrell’s Depo https://github.com/tyrells/dosbox-svn-shaders
This is Warhammer: Shadow of the horned rat for win 3.1, the preset in question is CRT-Easymode-Tweaked with some brightboost + reshade’s own hdr, old denoise(restored because crosire removed this off its newest updates) CAS sharpening and Pd80 Color contrast, the result gave this sharp but higher res look for it.

Here’s another tweak, this time I’m doing something a little different. I made a couple presets this time for both the NTSC US and J phosphors with different temperature settings (cool and warm) for you guys to play with:
You must have guest’s latest shader update for my presets to display properly which you can find here.
Not everyone likes the cool temp then some may not like the warm temp so this post should give something for everyone. For shaders 5 and 6 I also recommend raising the White Point parameter up to 11504 which is what I should have set it as from the beginning, looks better to me.
@HyperspaceMadness this set will replace the last set and you can add all the new presets into the mix as well. As always, hope you all enjoy.
Edit as of 4/26: If you downloaded the pack yesterday (4/25) please redownload it, I made a slight edit to the shaders.
Edit 2 as of 4/28: I fixed a few brightness issues so if you downloaded the pack please redownload it again, this should be the last edit.
