Video showcase of the RetroTink 4K - testing more than 15 different consoles from different eras / generations!
Where to buy the RetroTink 4k - www.retrotink.com/product-pag...
The RetroTink 4K is a powerful video game scaler with compatibility with several inputs: VGA, SCART, Composite, Component, S Video, Analog Audio, Toslink / SPDIF Optical Audio, HDMI... and in this video I put it to test with many different video games and with scanlines and CRT masks.
I tested games such as Chrono Cross, God of War, Super Mario, Gex, Final Fantasy, Persona, Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Sonic, and many more.
One aspect I wasn't able to show in this video is the HDR injection to brighten up the use of scanlines and CRT masks. Here's raw video footage of the feature: • Street Fighter Zero 2 ...
Another thing I wasn't able to show is the fact that the RetroTink 4K can passthrough surround sound. I was able to do so with the PS2 sending Dolby Digital via optical audio, for example.

@@tubinonyou Televisions increase the brightness of HDR content because the APL (150-200nits) in HDR content is too low for daytime viewing. I think I know why this retrotink HDR video look so dim. It's not enough to turn on the HDR output (container) in Retroink, you'll also need to manually increase the brightness, because otherwise you are looking at the same SDR (100nits) image, just in HDR container.

If you missed it watching the video, even if looks dark to you, if you turn on HDR injection then it lets you keep the scanlines and/or slotmask filter but still brighten up the image. Best of both worlds in terms of emulating the look of high quality CRT TVs!

The image quality on dreamcast and gamecube is surprisingly good. I wish the PS2 console was more capable, because with only 4MB of VRAM (and no texture compression) developers had to compromise on image quality. The vast majority of PS2 games ran at 480i. There were a few 480p games, but developers had to run them either at sub-640x480 (God Of War 2 will certainly run at sub-480p), or at full 480p but with reduced color depth (+dithering).

Vi algumas pessoas no Twitter(principalmente no Japão) elogiando muito o OSSC Pro, falando que a imagem dele está melhor que a do Retrotink 5x, o 480i agora funciona bem, aceita até 720p(podendo duplicar o sinal para 1440p) e é menos da metade do preço do Retrotink 4k. Atualmente está esgotado. Parabéns novamente pelo vídeo e sucesso na nova empreitada!

Hi :) I'm just wondering if you could tell me what features the Retrotink 4K has over the 5X? I don't imagine you will be able to see the difference between FULL HD 1080p and 4K when playing a retro game on a modern display?! I just simply want to be able to play my Genesis, NES, SNES, N64, PS1 and PS2 games on my OLED and have the best picture possible. As I have already mentioned, I cant imagine the 4K, technically being the "best possible" option, being visibly better than the 1080p option. Am I right in thinking this? I don't do live streaming or anything, I just like to play though some of my old games now and then. Any information you could provide would be greatly appreciated
@Brodensson
@Brodensson 2 ай бұрын
The 4k option will probably show the biggest difference if you use filters to emulate the look of old CRT TVs and LCD panels. Otherwise, the difference is very small. If you've got a $4000+ entertainment setup, I'd go for it. Otherwise, the RetroTINK 5X is still the best all round option.

I could be wrong but it seems like at the moment the RetroTink 4k has better scanline or scaling options than emulators. I hope this inspires people to make better scanline and scaling options on emulators. Otherwise it might be worth plugging a pc into one of these to get the best scanlines/scaling combined with the best re-rendering of polygons.

On you talking about HDMI consoles: are you using a 4K monitor or a 4K TV when viewing all this? Because that's kind of the point of the RetroTink4K being able to do that. Plus, there are a LOT of retro-style games on 7th, 8th, and even 9th generation consoles: *_especially on PS3/4 and Switch!_* Not to mention, proper upscaling to a higher resolution TV is really great. The console that would shine the MOST will be the Switch, hands down. I've seen RT4K footage, and it really does the Switch justice on 4K TVs. Outside this little nitpick on you not really thinking outside the box with the HDMI input, I 100% agree with your conclusion. GBS Controller is just too godly to pass up as an easy to build kit that's stupid cheap and does just about everything one would want to do with an upscaler at a more than reasonable price. And with the RT5X and RT4K, though they are premium priced products, they are premium in nature, and the 4K is looking more and more like the end game product for retro game consoles. Especially when paired with a decent 4K OLED or Quantum Dot OLED TV. Seriously, QDOLED is the future for retro game consoles that gets pretty damn close to CRT quality and response. Though, I'll be honest: I'll likely never get rid of my CRTs. They just have a certain vibe that nothing can emulate; not even with the quite excellent CRT masks that are being created by the community.
@VideoGameShowcase
@VideoGameShowcase 4 ай бұрын
Hey, thanks for the comment! Regarding HDMI, the upscaling via the RetroTink 4K does look sharper than via most monitors / TV's. But at a regular playing distance it's barely, if at all, noticeable. Also, most displays can upscale 720p and 1080p relatively well to 4K since 720p x 3 = 4K and 1080p x 2 = 4K. I find that the Tink 4K works well with 1080p to 1440p since 1440p is not an integer multiplayer of 1080p. And yeah, CRT filters are awesome but an actual CRT is still better. Thanks again!!!

So when using a QD-OLED that's 144hz, you can use Retrotink 4K's 24fps dual strobe BFI and knock down 60% of OLED motion blur(And 50% with 120hz OLED TV's, and 75% with 240hz)? It's just a shame that the OLED BFI flicker in general is excessive(I can only imagine it being worst with dual strobe BFI) and nearly unbearable on whites, plus it's capped at 1080p(not a deal breaker unless you're going for 77-83") + 24fps, instead of 4K.

It's not really an absurd price. It's a very premium scaler that comes at a cost due to the chips it comes on board with. 4K is a very demanding resolution to scale things up to compared to 1080p or 1440p.

It definitely is an expensive unit…however people keep buying them and they’re currently out of stock. I’m willing to bet a lot of people would pay even more for it.

Seriously. $750? I paid $600 for a laptop that can play all the old stuff with a ton of shader passes to emulate the CRT look. Plus, it has a 144hz screen with g-sync, so I can play at ade games at their original refresh rate. Makes a lot more sense than having 50 different consoles hooked up at once.

@@laurenalexander4438this is an enthusiast product, it only works best when paired with a high end oled tv, the price is high but if the price is your barrier for entry it’s not for you. For me I’ll just stick with my crt I got on the side of the road for free. This is for the 1% of 1% of retro gaming enthusiasts that are willing to pay whatever for the best experience.

Terrible investment (700$ afaik) IMO. None of this corresponds to the subjective image quality a decent 19 inch CRT television would produce. My usual litmus test is to check how sonic games look. I know for a fact my trusted Mitsubishi CRT PAL TV will *show Sonic with perfectly rounded and angular quills,* and *no visible jagged edges* AT ALL. Back in the day, I would play 16-bit Sonic on many different TVs (friend's houses, school's cafeteria even) AND I do know for a fact how those games are supposed to look -- and to be fair I assume that to be the intended look, as it makes characters look much higher res and almost pre-rendered at times. Whatever does not get me closer to this kind of picture quality is counter to the idea of playing these games how they were intended to be played.

I totally get your point and agree that the CRT experience is different. I even have one and love it. But for real hardware in my own gaming space I’ve been opting for the Tink 4K (and before the Tink 5X) since it’s much more practical, the CRT filters are awesome and the input lag is extremely good. Thanks for the comment 😅

​@@VideoGameShowcase Yeah my comment isn't meant to be "antagonistic" towards you, but to 1) Propagate my POV; 2) Maybe getting OP (you) to see the POV in the comment and hopefully talk about it in a future video 3) Maybe get some controversy going, and even help OP with the algorythm Whatever the case, I am not in favor of people returning back to their CRTs as a permanent solution. Since these are no longer being produced, and time will dictate that they will all fail on a long enough timeline _(oh and they do get a lot dimmer before even failing to turn on btw, thus ruining the experience),_ the good long-term solution lies in getting better shaders and/or filters to be created (via software like in reshade, or hardware, like in devices like retrotink). So yeah, at the end of the day, I am in favor of more devices like the retrotink being released and doing increasingly more stuff. But if I (and other people who think like me) don't speak out, there won't be an awareness there's a demand to replicate the actual CRT look

Regarding CRT’s, I really wish we still had a way to buy new ones honestly. I have a JVC I love but I can feel it’s failing unfortunately! Thanks again for the comment! Awesome info!

looks cheaply made... not sure how you can justify $700+ for this when the quality looks suspect

I have a pretty big retro console collection, but emulation beats all of it hands down unfortunately. No desire to get this.
