2) 1440p | Composite | PVM600 Scanlines

My first attempt to "recreate" Composite but using RGB with Retrotink 4k settings: soft upscaling to 4k, blur (LPF) filter and red bleed.

@asdasdf293@pics_vg@CRTpixels I think we should pick the option we like: CRT TV, emulation with shaders, hardware scalers, mister etc.
Me personally I like the flexibility with hardware scalers to pick and choose the look I prefer depending on the console and even game while playing on real hardware.
