Probably doesn’t have much place for a hardware community, but shaders? I specifically like the offset pattern (triangular filter, lottes w/shadow mask type 4, or consumer-1 for the hardware upscaler) aesthetic.
I also wonder if anyone makes ‘fantasy’ (like fantasy consoles) CRT shaders. For instance, imagine triangular filter where the RGB pixels can also double as MYC pixels respectively (for brighter colors like white, though I would still prefer that to be used sparingly). Probably other things like leaning into hexagon aesthetic or visible grille stuff, though that probably isn’t too viable for 1080p displays (I can’t find good 4K screenshots of the existing shaders to see if they actually have dots for the shadow-mask/triad unlike the 1080p version which is pure pixels).
