The Analog shader pack brings me in a good mood everytime i look up the presets.
Unfortunately the mask is calculated by stacking four crt shaders with their masks on as it seems. May look good, but hard to reproduce with a single shader.

For me mask 5 is the best out of the 2, personally I think mask 6 has unrealistically high spacing between the darker dots when I make a comparison between shader on 15" laptop LCD and my 14" Trinitron.

Yeah it requires a special taste/preference to use it below a 1440p display. It gets better with larger resolutions i think. Unfortunately it's the only way to reproduce some mask effects. I tried combining a width-2 and width-3 mask in the same setup, but glitchess happen. It's definitely on my TODO list to invent a shader mask which is accurate and dense at the same time...
which bring us to mask no. 5. I made it far brighter, passed my "suite" test it seems without gamma corrections, so it should be ok in general.

Is there a chance you could create a middle ground between Mask 0 and Mask 5?

Mask 5 is related with Lottes maskDark/Bright parameters, so altering those might help a bit.
To sum up the changes, i concentrated to improve mask 5 a bit and brightness should be better now. Alternate scanlines 2 are also tad brighter.

Or another great option would be if the dot spacing for the single color dots (the level 2 and 3 dots as per previous post) could be made user configurable, it would be a great way to accommodate for the different types of users' screen sizes, resolutions and preferred simulated dot pitch.

As i look up to some shaders, i see some efforts to bring the 1080p mask look to 4k, but it's much harder the other way around, unfortunately.
Yeah, it's 2 or 3 dots, smart mask which does something like **-**-**-** for middle values is possible, but far from trivial. I'll keep my eyes/mind open.
