This is excellent work! When I get some free time I might take some more in but I have yet to delve into Jim Power fully and I wouldn’t want to encounter any spoilers.
I’m glad and honoured to see yet another video showcasing my presets! I might have to do some cross linking on my thread soon!
It’s only been a little over a week and it’s already crossed 1,300 views with a couple hundred downloads of my presets (estimated). It’s hard to keep track of the exact total because I’ve been updating the links a bit frequently over the last few days. With that said I have added 6 new presets to the package! These aren’t minor tweaks, I would consider them a complete overhaul once again, bringing improved sharpness, more detail and better overall image quality that I hadn’t envisioned was possible by me (maybe by others though…lol).
So I invite and encourage you to download the CyberLab Mega Bezel Death To Pixels Shader Preset Pack 21-11-21 (or later) and try out my new PVM Edition presets. They are exceptionally clear but still maintain that balance of smoothing while still maintaining that element of “16-bitness” that we all love.
Seeing is believing though. The difference between these and the previous presets are like the difference between putting on glasses if you have less than perfect vision and not! They’re that much better! Yes, I would say better and not just clearer.
However life is not perfect and there are some slight caveats if you look carefully enough. I achieved this clarity by manipulating the very things that added up to give me the colours, brightness and gamma that I had in my previous presets. Things have shifted slightly as a result. Who knows, maybe they’re more accurate now…lol I’ve been struggling to get the brightness and gamma to match the previous presets without messing things up. Tonight I just gave up and increased the brightness of my TV. lol
I haven’t had time to post any screenshots nor test and develop 1440p and 1080p optimized versions yet but I have a feeling that they will scale pretty well down to those resolutions even without special optimized versions. 1080p should be pretty safe as the settings I usually adjust to match the sharpness of my 4K presets are already pretty low in this set so I doubt there’s anywhere else to go. The only problem might be if the scanline adjustments don’t work well at the lower resolutions.
For my 1440p Edition presets all I usually do is change the Mask Type to 7 and the Mask Size to 2 then lower settings that reduce sharpness a bit like halation. In this case halation is already very low.
The issue with brightness is that the individual phosphors have much more space between them and thus the mask and scanlines are more prominent so I might be kinda running into similar issue as @Nesguy has been talking about when talking about his ideal TV for emulating a CRT. I don’t think I can get this preset to match those aspects of the previous presets without basically changing them back by making the phosphors converge as they did previously.
With that said they’re still much better in my opinion. Perhaps you or someone else might have an idea of how to properly calibrate and colour correct them without messing with the scanline settings? That would be brilliant if it’s possible.
Updated:
Seems like there’s absolutely no need to make 1080p optimized version of my PVM Edition Presets! They’re just as sharp and detailed as at 4K as is and scanlines seem to be looking fine as well! So you can go ahead and start to use them right away if you wish!
). But I can’t stand someone came on this thread, cut away watermark from promotional content and distributing it in a major distro without even asking.
These displays are looking awesome!!!
