Looking good @Cyber! I do think deconvergence is pretty key to the CRT look especially at the age most of them are at now - the poor old things.

Just curious, but why Mask 2 over, say, Mask 9? The latter is also 360 TVL, and doesn’t appear to have as much of a pronounced black gap between phosphor triads. I think it may also be a bit brighter. Also, have you tried making it so the scanlines are less pronounced, particularly on the darker colors? Could gain a teensy bit of brightness there, perhaps.

The way the settings are configured makes color saturation tied to beam width; I can’t easily reduce the min beam width without increasing clipping. I’ll give it another shot though.
I’ll take a look at mask 9 as well.
Also planning to add in some deconvergence. You can eek out a bit more brightness with vertical deconvergence, I think.

Here’s another guest Slot Mask update. I managed to get more noticable scanlines in while keeping the moire non existent without having to use integer scaling like my last post plus a couple other small tweaks:

You must have guest’s latest shader for my presets to display properly which you can find here.
@HyperspaceMadness this set will replace the last one whenever you’re ready.

Here’s why I don’t use mask 9. The reason it’s “brighter” is because it has built in brightness compensation, I think? You can see the mask is getting clipped all over the place. I’d have to completely start from scratch with new settings, and in the end it wouldn’t be any brighter at full mask strength.
I’ve added in deconvergence and a notch of bloom to the 360 TVL aperture grille. Is this bright enough yet?
Here’s the same as the above but with output gamma raised to 2.2, deconvergence requires me to adjust everything now.

I’ve just noticed this.
I wonder what effect a lighter scanline type might have on these “phosphors” based on what @guest.r has sai.

I actually noticed this at some point, as well. Mask 6, which has the same phosphor pattern as Mask 2, also has this problem and doesn’t look quite the same, and that’s likely because they’re not governed by the same mask strength parameters. Try commenting out the following line under Mask 9’s code and see how it looks then:
mask = clamp(mix( mix(one, mask, mcut), mix(one, mask, maskstr), mx), 0.0, 1.0) * dark_compensate;
You’ll note masks 0, 11 and 12 don’t have this code. Masks 1-4 have their own mask strength code.

these are good to go, I think. There are a couple different things I want to try with the 360 TVL aperture grille before I call it done.

that looks really good. It’s still dim on my display but it doesn’t have the typical hallmarks of a dim image. The colors are still vibrant and there’s none of the usual gamma problems.

Thanks! I think this shows promise. Slight tweak to gamma and brightness. It’ll never be as bright as mask 0 but I think we can get this to the level of “tolerably bright”

Nice! I had it looking somewhat similar, but I do believe you’ve surpassed my efforts.

I think if we introduce just a hint of clipping, then we really have almost nothing to complain about regarding brightness!
(increased post CRT brightness to 2.00)

Yes but it looks like you lost most of pixel art details e.g. there are no clear color steps. There is a serious problem with the result image, like contrast is wrecked or something.
In example, brightest color on trees is too close to darkest while in raw image it looks perfect and well thought (the colors pop as they should).

To which example are you referring? I think you might be exaggerating the problem as I can discern all the color bars here and see all the detail in the trees etc. There’s some soft clipping, but no loss of detail.
If you’re referring to the example I posted with clipping (increased post CRT brightness to 2.00), then yes, that’s the tradeoff.

If you zoom in on the greens, the last 2-3 bars blend together after only a fraction of a second, I have to trick my eyes by looking away from the screen momentarily. So probably contrast needs to come down a bit? Feel free to give the settings a spin and see what you can do.

Yes talking about the clipping. Well the mask looks mighty but colors don’t pop as they should as a result. In the other hand most shaders wreck brightness.

Have you adjusted your display backlight to 100%? You’re viewing the images at full size, right? The colors seem well saturated enough to me.
Are you using the raw image as a reference?
I pulled cellphone brightness to 100% and doesn’t look bad at all. Of course it has a very bright screen, almost blinded me lol (forum’s white background).
