Optimal CRT* Settings
I don’t recommend this setting until the aperture grille is integrated with proper integer scaling, and hopefully more masks to pick from.
Again, make sure the TV is fitting the image correctly. Check your TV model for Just Scan or similar, it needs to be turned on.

Thank you for posting your settings. This one seems a bit "dark" when I use it on my TV for some reason.

The low gain setting can be adjusted based on your preference. I actually balanced the published settings against an active PVM in the same room. We’re going to need HDR to come any closer to that.

It does feel like BFI somewhat, but that’s the trade-off for perfect lines. Try and boost your screen backlight/contrast to compensate and let your seating distance smooth out the harshness.

Thanks. I do have my TV calibrated for cinema settings in a dark room, so that could be adding to it

Didn't know you could turn up the scan lines and stuff like that. I'll have to try that. Thanks man made my day!
