The coolest part about HLSL: it's entirely customizable.

It can simulate every aspect of an old tube monitor on an LCD to various degrees. Even the less desirable (or for most of us, very desirable) effects of old CRTs can be raised or lowered to your liking. If all you want is some scanlines and maybe a bit of aperture mask simulation, you can adjust that on the fly and get the look you want; but even color bleeding/convergence, defocus, curvature, phosphor life/motion blur, and screen jittering can all be enabled and customized. with a little tweaking, you'd swear you were looking at your favorite games behind a real CRT. Once I tried HLSL for the first time I dumped my plans to hunt down an expensive and rare CRT for my cab when an LCD + HLSL looks damn near as good.

Here's lettuce's same settings above except without the tube look and without any color bleeding or defocusing.

With HLSL enabled just tap "`" (above Tab) to open up some video slider settings. Drop "Image Pincushion", RGB X/Y "Offset", RGB "Convergence", and X/Y Defocus down to 0. The effects will be off. Simple!

If it pleases you, you'll have a video image that is not convexed, very sharp, and with colors perfectly aligned and intact.

It's kinda cool how you can customize HLSL to look like either an ultra sharp LCD, an authentic CRT, or a completely out of repair dusty-corner-in-the-pizza-shop cabinet.

C'mon, it can recreate the headache you use to get from playing that one unfocused, jittering cabinet for too long. That is bad ass!
