Yeah I turned the sharpness setting itself all the way to zero and then back to 100/max and it had almost no noticeable effect at all, let alone didn’t fix the issue entirely. This is why I’m thinking it must be an under-the-hood processing task that my TV is doing that’s unable to be turned off/down.

I actually found that edge enhancement and flipped that off and it still seems a little too sharp, it’s seeming like I may unfortunately just need to deal with it. At least the 5x works I suppose!

Sure thing, for comparison to the pictures in my original post, this video is someone running DKC2 on 5x on an 65″ LG TV (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E07sr3Zyba8), it looks almost identical to my PC Monitor so if I could get that image I’d be very happy. Haha I understand the blasphemy of trying to widescreen it, I just thought it’d be nice if I could do it without the image being stretched too much. Really my main goal here is to make my TV/the OSSC stop processing the pixels the way it does and get closer to that video I linked or even my PC monitor picture. I even tried the 240P Pass-through and 2x and it still looks too sharp on my TV, that first picture I linked to 2x is using those settings you recommended. I’ve tried absolutely every setting I can get my hands on through the TV’s menus, to no avail. Is it possible that I can’t remove more of the processing on the TV?

So slight update, I’ve tweaked every setting I possibly can on both my TV and OSSC to no avail, still can’t fill the screen and still can’t get the pixels to not look so blocky. I suppose I’ll leave that for now, until someone happens to know if I’m simply out of luck on making my TV not process. Game mode seems to help the slightest amount but not much. I can try another TV tomorrow to see if the same issues persist.

But, I also was able to plug the OSSC directly into my PC monitor rather than my TV with the same set up as before and still got an image that seemed slightly off, mostly with the screen fill. So perhaps it is still partially the OSSC? The monitor definitely cleaned up the majority of the issues that were on the TV but I’ve been looking at pixels all day and can’t tell if it’s how it should look or not lol, I’ll link images below. Even on the PC monitor the same exact black bars were on the sides and I couldn’t find any way to get the OSSC to allow it to fill the whole screen in 5x mode, or actually any mode. It seems like 2x auto fills the screen, but the other line modes have varying amounts of the screen consisting of black bars on the left & right. Any help would be great, I’ve been looking forward to this OSSC for awhile now and I’m a little disappointed that my basic SVideo -> HDMI upscaler on the same TV treats the pixels and screensize better for the time being. My only other thought is maybe the SCART cable? But it’s a high quality cable and was bought from Retro Access who has excellent reviews and ratings, so I assumed that’s not the problem. Thanks for any insight or help!

Hmm I tried turning off as many of the options under pictures as I could within the TV’s settings and even flipped game mode on/off but seems to have no effect on the sharpness. Is this something where it may be impossible to get the TV to not process the picture? Because that would really suck considering I found a TV that takes every line mode for the SNES. Most of the options available to me are things like brightness, contrast, gamma, sharpness and they are usually set between 50-100. Should I try turning them all to zero? I’ve already turned off everything else such as black level mode and some other odd settings that I could find.

As far as the screen, no it oddly leaves two huge bars on the sides of the picture. I believe it may be the TV being odd with scaling as well, because it’s in 16:9 mode. If I try switching to “wide fit” on the TV it super stretches the image to get it to fill, but it would require me to zoom way out using the OSSC and reduce the quality even more. Other than that wide fit option none of the other screen settings seem to get it to fill the screen. Man this is going to be super disappointing if the TV accepts the line modes but still won’t work.
