Reply To: How to get scanlines and vastly improve picture quality: the best method

[quote=100933]Ah thank you that worked, i missed the step about setting the ‘use video output’ option.

Im using the 5x scanline overlay but i fell the scanlines are slightly too narrow and sharp, is there an easy what to make the slightly thicker and softer at all?

I think im liking the look of the interlacing shader option more atm

It’s easy to edit the scanline image in a graphics program. I may whip up an overlay with “soft” scanlines, if I have the time. The narrowness is a consequence of 5x scale- the scanlines are 2px wide with 3px between them. You could make the scanlines 3px wide but that would be too wide. At 2px wide, the scanlines are approximately as wide as they are on a CRT when bloom is above 50%.

If you want “perfect” scanlines, you have to use 4x scale, which leaves letterboxing and overscan visible. It’s a trade-off.
