I’m glad you like it! :smiley: I’m working on a new CRT gamma in and out, and with new mask, settings based on my new CRT Philips, this is my work so far :point_down::point_down::point_down:

at the time I had a Philips CRT and your setting is very similar to my old television I can’t wait to test your shader

I know that you’re primarily engaged in trying to match a real Phillips TV that you have these days but whenever you have time it might be a nice escape/vacation to program some Shadow (Dot) Mask presets.

That is because it is the brightest Mask we can emulate at 4K due to the lack of the ability to draw the black mask holes themselves at the fine pitches that would be required.

I know that one of the most difficult aspects of doing these things is getting things to look realistic while maintaining adequate brightness and gamma levels. Well Shadow Mask should make that a bit simpler and allow you to enjoy more time playing as opposed to tweaking.

Although the video is in 4k, I made this to keep better bitrate so the video doesn’t look pixelated and keep best image quality as possible, also in the video looks a bit darker of what really is, maybe because of the upscale, but it’s a 1080p preset upscaled to a video recording 4K.

About shadow mask I have no idea how to achieve that, I hope you can explain in a simple way in which options I have to set to achieve that, and I can give it a try. About playing I do, but in my real CRT, about shaders is a personal thing :sweat_smile:

Great job man! These look excellent! I think you deserve much more credit and recognition for what you do. Many RetroGamers don’t know what they’re missing.
