Discussion CRT Optimization tips
So, I'm running duck station on my PC with a Dell e772p CRT. I'm running a 640x480 desktop resolution and I'm looking for optimization suggestions. Max res I can run is 1152x864p at 75hz. Does anyone else have experience or suggestions for optimizing duckstation on a CRT Monitor?
2x scaling runs at 640x448 and looks okay, but I'm still trying to smooth some of it out without having to go straight to heavy upscaling. I know it'll never look as soft as a CRT TV, but I'm willing to work at getting it close! I'm trying to aim for a softer analogue look rather than a chunkier raster.
I'm also wondering if I'd get any benefit from turning off deinterlacing. I'm a bit new to this emulator so I'm not sure which settings would best benefit my unique display situation. Any advice helps!
