This shader is quite unique among CRT shaders, and shaders in general. It is currently the only shader that takes advantage of HDR support for greater color depth and brightness, allowing for highly accurate CRT emulation on HDR-capable displays, though it is also usable on regular SDR displays through a parameter change. Unlike other CRT shaders, its inner workings are actually fairly simple and it doesn't have many bells and whistles, focusing mainly on drawing scanlines and accurate phosphor masks as well as color correction, which coincidentally also makes it one of the fastest shaders featured on this page. As it is primarily meant for use on bright HDR-capable displays, it draws phosphor masks at full strength with no attempt at mitigating the resulting loss in brightness through parameters such as bloom, glow or mask strength typically seen in other CRT shaders, instead counting on the display to make up for it. On an SDR display, it is highly recommended to use it with the backlight turned up all the way, as otherwise the image will likely be too dim to view comfortably. There are presets emulating various CRT models and types, including several PVM models, certain arcade displays, and even PC monitors.
