Heh. The HLSL feature is like a drug for me. I can't help but continue to tweak it no matter how good it looks to me. I am simply amazed that my crappy little laptop can use HLSL and make the LCD images look as close to an old CRT as I can get. One of these days, when I get off my lazy ass and also recover form the surgery I'm having in a few weeks, I at least know that I can build a computer that can run HLSL with higher pre-scale and not suffer from it.

Still, I would kill if there was a continuously updated wiki of sorts for HLSL that would explain in gory detail what each and every setting does with photographic evidence for it.
