You need to jump to the next integer to get enough horizontal res to actually make the shadowmask look okay. For SNES, 1460x1120 is the way to go.
>the fuck? why use 1460 horizontal?
The proper way to turn a scaled 8:7 image into 4:3 is to multiply the horizontal resolution (256) by the amount of times we want to scale it (in this case, 5), multiply by 8, divide by 7. So (256*5)8/7 This gives us 1462 and a messy remainder. Round it down 1462, remove the 2 for a nice even 1460. For the vertical resolution, we just multiply that by the time we're scaling (again, 5 in this case) for 224*5 which gives us 1120.
>but anon, 1120 is more than 1080!
Yes it is, 40 pixels will be off-screen, or 1.7% of the top, and 1.7% of the bottom. Thankfully, this is well within overscan, so we lose no important frame data, and get a much larger image to boot.

The resolution you're using (1196x896) has 1,071,616 pixels. The visible screen area in mine (1460x1080) has 1,576,800 pixels, or 47% larger on the same screen, and is scaled exactly as it should be. This gives you much more room to make shaders look decent.

Might be mixing it up with your GBC screen which was much grayer.
