For 1440p, just use Mask 10, Size 1 be sure to adjust the Mask Layout RGB/BGR to match your screen.

I’m working quite a bit on deconvergence settings, and this is one of the key for proper image quality as CRT’s have a bit of deconvergence, bu i need to find the proper pattern. I know is not perfect.

I may be wrong, but judging by ken’s protrait, it looks like the high tones are clipping too much.
You can verify by using some test pics like this:
or this, particularly unforgiving, and may expose even display calibration issues.
…click on them, for whatever reason the preview won’t show.

Number 254, doesn’t show on my mobile device, and 253 is barely visible without shaders. ¿Is this normal?
Yes, indeed it is normal, 254 is just 0.4% from white.

My desktop monitor is a LG 4K 10-bit color HDR 10, hdr is disabled and I think is a bit worse than my mobile device, I don’t know if that has to do something to do to have 10 bit color instead of 8-bit, also It’s on factory settings calibration.
It just means some setting/s (likely related to brightness) is a bit high. HDR nor bitdepth are part of the problem.
If you can see till 252, I’d say it’s ok, but at least the first picture should clearly show all the steps.

My panel is IPS, maybe is because there’s a limit, but I’m not an expert in image so I don’t know what it could be, I lowered brightness, but it still not showing 254. Weird.
Maybe your brightness setting just drives the backlight?
Brightness and contrast are often misused or used for the same thing; try lowering contrast, even if it sounds counterintuitive.
…what color you see max btw?
what about min (dark to black room needed)
I’m asking just to exclude the possibility your display is receiving/misinterpreting a limited 16-235 signal.
I see them all. From 1 to 32 all bars, column 1 barely visible.
Also did that, and still the same.
I can see the last picture all of them.
You were not wrong, I had deconvergence “Red -Y” the other way round, also raised colour gamma a bit.

It’s been a while since I last posted… I’m working from scratch on some new settings with strong mask only. No bloom, no halation, no mask bloom, etc. I also made some small tweaks from my last settings, like changing gamma in, and gamma out, also giving a more sharper aspect than before… Here are some examples…

I’m also tweaking my last Philips brighter settings, to make it more natural…

Improving sharpening and gamma a bit…
The Gamma might be too hot. It’s affecting the levels of the black and other dark outlines of the text, lowering contrast and the whites seem a bit clipped and overexposed.
If you look at the Mask, it’s almost completely washed out as well.
At the end of the day, we all end up going around in circles with this approach. There’s s point where you just need a brighter display or you just have to throw accuracy and Mask/Scanline detail away.
In addition to that, fast sharpen can also have a similar effect on black outlines, lowering contrast.
