I just checked one more time if there is a logic with the levels and the gamma, and without a doubt, whatever you think, in all modesty, I think I'm right

There is a balance ! I checked with the levels filter of VirtualDub.

I just changed a bit to see "14-237" in input, "15-236", "17-234"... and with the gradations, it perfectly match with "16-236".

I adjusted the gamma without watching the value. I reduced the gamma , I increased the gamma, I saw the dark tones becoming brighter, the light tones becoming darker... and I felt a balance ! Believe me or not, but I was on "1.123" for the gamma !

So "1.125", perfect !

I admit that I'm surprised, because the gamma of the CRT screens wasn't perfectly linear if I'm not wrong !

But it works !

I think it's even better than Higan or the Super NT, not like the old experience maybe on CRT, but more precise digitally (but maybe I'm wrong and it's only my own interpretation, I don't know) ! Always in all modesty...

But for the picture itself, you are the judges !
