    The human eye is FAR from linear therefor using 100% strength scanlines will NOT result in the same visible gamma curve as without scanlines on the same monitor even though same amount of area was removed from each shade of grey.

    True but there is still a big difference in gama/color between standard scanlines and bortis scanlines. Using 27% standard scanlines produces visible color change. When using bortis scanlines with 37% the colors looks much more as the original one compared to 27% standard scanlines. With both methods the visibility of scanlines are near the same.

    As said, just bring the brightness on your TV up to brighten the resulting dark region, or lower the gamma.

    I tried but the colors of dark areas sill does not have the same color as with bortis scanlines. I am not an expert but IMO its not a question abouet the brightness because the color tone looks just different because of the way the scanlines are generated. Screenshot[1]
    You can decrease the hybrid scnalines value to 18% to have more original colors on dark areas but the downside is that on bright colors the scanlines are barely visible.
