HLSL is nothing like "the standard bilinear filter". It gives you scanlines, screen curvature, simulation of convergence and focus errors, and a variety of other electromagnetic CRT monitor effects (including NTSC dot crawl and fringing for consoles/computers in MESS).
Of course, with great power comes a great number of settings to fiddle with
