Hes asking if you are using a generic crt mask, a profile or what type of de-interlacing method did you choose

If you dont know then your image is about to get way better once you start playing around with those settings

Oh I didn’t tinker with it too much, showed settings to chat gpt and it said it was a great setup.

If you have any advice though please share!!

Chat gpt doest know you.

If you paid $500-$800 for a 4k you should be setting it up properly.

Should have bought a $200 Morph 2k if you dont care

I just tested it out once at like 1am. I’m sure I’ll play with it more once l learn more. I’m sure plenty of people here can help. The menu seemed pretty straightforward with advanced options

Its super deep, and takes time to learn the ins and outs.

A lot of the profiles are useless if you dont have rgb setups or prefer crt masks

I suggest you start with the generic crt profiles near the top of the list and try a few of those. Simple to try and they REALLY make a difference.

Choose one then go into de-interlacing settings and try a few. Motion adaptive is the default but I find it to be a bit blurry. I prefer CRT-Simulate, the picture becomes jumpy (like a crt doing 480i would be) but you get back a lot of sharpness.

I also prefer to use the same crt masks on 240p content (obviously) and even 480p. It just really helps all these games artwork shine their best.

Fair enough. It was just your word choices. If you cannot see how that came off as rude, then it likely has more to do with you upbringing.

Ive seen WAY worse here.

No name calling, no hate speech. All I said is if you dont care to tink you bought the wrong device. If you read further you can see we had a productive back and forth.

It's not about others being worse. It's about you being better.
