+From 1playerinsertcoin's Reddit post:
+
+"I wasn't sure about posting this one as I think it's more niche than my original overlay and may not be liked by everyone. So if you look for CRT accuracy, with its drawbacks, this is for you.
+
+It has twice as many scanlines as my previous overlay to match a 240p display, so it's darker but with crisper details and better color blending. It will need a brighter screen to look good. On the MM+ it needs about 8-10 of Brightness, depending on the game, as it has a much dimmer screen than the OG MM. At least compared to my MM v2.
+
+Use it with Bilinear filter and, if necessary, with Aspect Ratio ON to avoid any gradient artifacts. It's not always possible to use AR ON, as some games have large overscans or pixel ratios that are far from square (images will look much more distorted than with AR OFF), and in other cases some games could have a better matching scanlines with AR OFF. Just try it with AR ON/OFF and choose what looks best for you in each system. On the Amiga, for example, it would vary depending on what screen mode the game is using. I don't recommend using "integer scaling", as the images will look too sharp and less CRT.
+
+Edit: I have added a slightly brighter version of this overlay, for those with dimmer screens. It's in the same download link as "Perfect_CRT-240p(BRT).cfg"
+
+Edit-2: I have harmonized all my overlays to use this color setting in the MM+: 7-10-14-18. You will notice a considerable boost in brightness, colors and contrast, making it ideal to use with these overlays.
+
+*If you don't like this CRT overlay, try my original brighter one"

+-Brightest CRT overlay available.
+
+-No washed out colors, the original tones are kept.
+
+-Rounded screen TV frame with minimal picture obstruction.
+
+-Both scanlines and phosphor effects included, for a more realistic look.
+
+It's recommended to increase one or two points the Brightness over your regular setting, to compensate for the loss of light due the simulated CRT grid. Use it together with Bilinear filter in the video settings.

+Enjoy.

+
+From 1playerinsertcoin's Reddit post:
+
+"After my GBC overlay, I looked back at my DMG version and noticed some aspects that could be improved. Although this new overlay does the same thing, it has been created from scratch, taking advantage of some tricks I learned when creating the GBC overlay. The result is a more polished and realistic version.
+
+Changes:
+
+    Improved dot matrix realism.
+
+    Improved sharpness.
+
+    Improved brightness.
+
+    A new color scheme with improved accuracy.
+
+It has been tuned with a real GB DMG alongside a MM+ and is meant to be used with the same color settings I recommended with the GBC overlay: 7-10-14-18. That way with a low brightness setting, the sharpness and colors match a real DMG in a bright daylight environment (with just level 2 of brightness already gives a very realistic look, so don't go crazy increasing too much the brightness!).
+
+I always found the embedded DMG color setting to be a little off, not like I remembered playing a GB DMG. With this overlay I took a different approach and created a custom color palette, that way I have complete freedom to choose what I want. I chose the colors from a real GB DMG and adjusted them until they looked as expected on the MM+ screen. So this overlay works together with an additional file with the color data that you need to copy to your SD."
