So my question is, a) how far does this take things, and b) how far can it take things? My understanding, limited as it is, is that these work as GPU shaders, and as such modify each pixel before it’s sent to screen; could you write an entire video driver that emulates the process from a physical standpoint, right down to things like the deflection of the electron gun and the phosphor reaction times? (I guess that becomes diminishing returns though…)
