+Scanline Modern 4x2
+
+This shader is not designed to simply simulate the scanline + aperture grille 
+effect of old CRT monitors. Instead, it aims to combine the advantages of sharp 
+clarity on modern displays with retro games, enabling better pixel-level scaling.
+
+The generation intensity of scanlines is dynamically quantized and adjusted based 
+on the human eye's perceptual curve for chromatic brightness, rather than using 
+rigid stripe overlay.
+
+Core Features:
+- Independent control over vertical scanline and horizontal aperture grille 
+  intensity.
+- Fixed vertical scanline period to 4 pixels and horizontal mask to 2 pixels 
+  to establish a native physical grid on modern 2K/4K displays. This efficiently 
+  masks and embellishes the glaring grid unevenness caused by non-integer scaling 
+  when rendering high-res PSX low-poly/pixel titles.
+- Leverages sub-pixel edge detection to smoothly transition and camouflage 
+  misalignment artifacts where the virtual game pixels fail to align 
+  pixel-to-pixel with the modern LCD hardware.
+- Optimized scanline performance based on human eye brightness sensitivity curve: 
+  scanlines are prominent in medium brightness areas and weakened in extreme 
+  brightness areas.
