Several years on from the launch of the RetroTINK 5X, there are several reasons that the RT5X may still be... your retro gaming upscaler of choice. Mike Chi, the creator of the RetroTINK line of products, recently followed up the 5X with a new line-doubler named the RetroTINK 4K. It comes with a host of new features and an attractive form factor, but availability is still limited and it is considerably more expensive than the TINK 5X.
Join me for an exploration of just what the 5X brings to the table as a line doubler versus the 4K and other upscalers (like the OSSC), and determine if it may be the perfect "mid-range" scaling option for you.

I just started collecting. I had no idea this was a thing. You are gonna be my new favorite channel.

One thing I will say, there is a massive case of diminishing returns with the RetroTink 4K. 240p and 480i do look better on it but you've really gotta be pixel peeping to notice those differences. The main improvement for me is in how 480p and 720p look, since 4:2:2 colour starts to become noticeably limited with that sort of visual fidelity. I can also appreciate that with RetroTink 4K's HDMI input, you get far greater clarity from systems like PS3 and Xbox 360 than Component video. Whether that difference is worth nearly $1000 however is another matter entirely. I already have a hard enough time recommending the RetroTink 2x to casual gamers because of the $50-100 price tag.

The HDMI input and BFI on the 4K are the most enticing aspects for me. I feel like RetroTINK really has a solution for everyone now, between the 2X, 5X, and 4K.

The tink 5x is amazing and hassle free, love it.

@RetroTechSelect 3 месяца назад

Completely agree!

I dig the vibe of your channel. Glad you're back. Make videos about anything that interests you, I'll check 'em out.

I am still rocking a XRGB-Mini Framemeister. It's still holding its own with 240p stuff, but every time I have to do 32-bit era stuff where there's constant change from 240p to 480i, it's a tiresome experience. Can't justify the 4K right now given my displays are all still 1080p, so it's great to see the 5X is still an excellent option.

@Jaxxonian123 4 дня назад

Check your 1080p TV's...they might do 1440p. Especially if it's Samsung or LG. TV's were marketed as 1080p, but can actually do 1440p, they just didn't advertise it. I think it's because for the longest time, 1440p was non-standard. I have two 1080p TV's and they both do 1440p, and never even realized it, I was pleasantly surprised.

Hi How does this connect to all your consoles? Are you moving the 5X from one console to another or do you have this attached to a switch?

@RetroTechSelect 3 месяца назад

Up until 2020, I was using the mechanical switchers shown in this video - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WazQ5-2kN_A.html More recently, I switched over to a gcompsw (using y-cables to double inputs on the HDRetrovision cables that are designed to handle that sort of thing without degrading the PQ).

what is that furniture ? I am thinking of buying something similar to what you have. please, let me know. Thank you~

The chair or the love seat?

@MaccAttacc Месяц назад

Do you think it's worth worth getting the 5X (using 1080p) even if I have a 4k TV? I just don't know if it's that much of a difference for almost double the price.

@RetroTechSelect Месяц назад

I use my 5X on a 4K TV and it looks amazing.
