Why I Bought the RetroTink4K

You may have heard of the RetroTink4K. Specifically regarding the outrageous price. For most, such a high entree fee would most certainly not be worth it. However I found extremely beneficial use with the Tink4K that makes it worth every penny. The CRT filters. With old CRT displays getting more challenging to find, and modern retro releases not including good CRT filters in most cases, the Tink4K becomes a CRT replacement by being able to inject frighteningly effective CRT visuals to any console up to 1080p. The Tink4K then essentially becomes a perfect substitute for consumer CRTs, to PVMs, HDCRTs, native 720p/1080p tvs, and high end CRT PC monitors. With that in consideration then the price of the Tink4K becomes a lot more justifiable to me and that's not even talking about everything else this scaler can do.
As an aside, I tried to prevent as much CRT filter compression artifacts by rendering this video at 4K, a first for me. It should go without saying that such CRT filters will absolutely not look as good in this video as it does in person. So please only take my video capture as an approximation of what the filters could look like. Watching in fullscreen is the best way to reduce compression artifacts. Only in person with your own eyeballs do the filters really shine.

@Mr.Welbig Месяц назад

I’d like to apologize as I could have elaborated in the video. CRT filters don’t look anywhere near as good in direct capture as they do in person. The nature of a CRT filter makes the picture unfriendly to direct capture. Even with basic scanlines you’re going to get artifacts if the window doesn’t match the capture footage. You can see with the CRT filters you’ll get artifacts in any view that’s not fullscreen. Maybe even a rainbow effect which would also be the cause of the weird colors some have scene. As well as possibly the HDR capture converted in SDR. The direct capture is only ever going to be an approximation of what the filters actually look like in person. I know that doesn’t help sell the value of the Tink4K much but I stress that these filters look extremely good in person and the colors look completely normal. I should have mentioned more clearly that even if the CRT filter doesn’t look too good in person you can tweak and adjust so many settings until it looks good to you. Or experiment with the countless amounts of profiles. Hope that cleared some things up!

@andriizahorui8332 Месяц назад

Have a question about crt filters on 5x. Since youtube compression won't allow to see them in high quality, how good they are in person in terms of mimicking an actual crt TV? Maybe you have raw video that you can share with a link or something? :) RT 4k may be out of budget as import taxes would make it cost way over 1k$ for me so considering 5x as a cheaper alternative. A big fan of authentic look too so don't want to be disappointed if I order one. Thank you! PS: if it matters, will be playing NES and SNES mainly

@Mr.Welbig Месяц назад

@@andriizahorui8332The 5X filters look very exceptional if you can use the option 1440p mode. Otherwise playing games at 1080p (Over) would be your best bet as that’s at least 1200p of resolution. From normal playing distance the filters are quite convincing. I think some of my older videos may have some off camera footage but I’m not sure. If budget is a concern then I’d suggest simple PC emulation. Like play through Retroarch and some of the CRT filters you can use with that as that’s the next best alternative imo

@PabloB888 Месяц назад

@@andriizahorui8332 I still have my old SD CRT, but I get an even better picture on my modern TV thanks to CRT shaders, because I can recreate PVM phosphor masks that look much better than slot masks on my CRT. I have never seen 480i/480p PS2 games look this good, because SD CRT blurs the image way too much. You can google "sony megatron color video monitor" to see comparisons between real CRT's and the best CRT shaders. It's impossible to tell which is real CRT and which recreated. I no longer feel the need to own a CRT, that's how good CRT shaders can look. But remember that there's a big difference between SDR and HDR CRT shaders. SDR CRT shaders must use bloom, change colors and gamma to some degree to compensate for the loss of brightness because phosphor mask dims everything. Only 4K HDR TVs allow you to have a mask with 100% opacity and this will give you an extremely faithful CRT look.

@DontCallMeScooterrr Месяц назад

Since I got my RT4k a few months ago, I don't think I've touched a console made after 2006. Yeah $750 is steep and a total luxury, but the 77" OLED I'm playing on with 5.4.2 sound wasn't exactly cheap either, might as well make the most of it. I'm one of those psychos with 4 CRTs already, but this was my DREAM SETUP in like 1989 (unimaginable, really). I am still CRT for life because I love light gun games but I have no regrets about the Tink4k.

@Mr.Welbig Месяц назад

Heck yeah brother. I understand for most $750 just ain't worth it which is fine! But I see it as, well sure it's that expensive but I can pass any console with composite/s-video/scart/hdmi through it from 240p to 1080p and slap convincing CRT filters on any game I please. Even with a PVM I feel you're limited on what you can connect to it. At least my OLED is 65in which is hella nice.

8:29 Your problem is probably the Tone-Mapping setting of your TV.

@Mr.Welbig Месяц назад

Could be. I tried messing with it and it didn't seem to help brightness. I have an LG C2 and I believe I have the necessary settings to achieve maximum brightness. Admittedly I'm not too practiced in messing with TV video settings. Cranking the nits on the Tink itself was the only practical solution I could find. I do experience video sync drops for brief moments but that goes away after a bit and doesn't happen all the time. It works, and gets me brightness very comparable to a real CRT, but if that doesn't seem right then I'm open to other possible solutions. It very well could be another thing that's contributing to the weird colors in my direct capture that everyone's noticed.

The price certainly is steep, but I also have a legit CRT (had it for 10ish years after getting it from a thrift store. Not specifically for retro gaming, but because I had no other TV at the time, or any recent console). Also, for me, it's not so much the look moreso the input lag. I don't mind messing with CRT filters, though. Granted I play on whatever TV I feel like.

@chronicnugget5595 8 дней назад

I really think Mike screwed up not making the device hdmi 2.1, I know I know it'd be more expensive. But is 750 vs 1000 dollars that big of a difference for someone who can afford to blow 750 on something like this? Especially given that it borderline requires a TV at least as expensive and honestly retro consoles and games aren't far from that price either.... BFI is so variable TV to TV it's really only worth using on a handful of TVs, mainly the previous gens of LG C series OLEDs. Making the device 2.1 capable means they could've just handled the BFI in box and we would've had the perfect no compromises scaler that can do basically flawless crt picture AND motion clarity. The whole reason we got scalers is because manufacturers can't be trusted to do it properly themselves, why we turn around and rely on them for good BFI is just puzzling to me.

I couldn't resist I impulse bought the RT 4K. I can't wait to fire up some dreamcast

@TacticalSnapBack Месяц назад

I think this is a great alternative since someday the surviving CRTs will die. With the technicians who fix them lack the tools or stopped performing such repairs since lack of viability they aren't coming back. I even read that TV manufacturers don't even have the ability to make them anymore even if they wanted to. Apparently they threw out all their tools and blueprints lol. They would need to reverse engineer the technology to create more. With such a niche market thw price of a new CRT would be upwards of thousands of dollars. So with that in mind the retrotink in a bargain. People don't remember that TVs before LCD were a small fortune. Having a large TV back then was a big deal. Thousands of dollars. 90's dollars were more valuable too.

@RemoWilliams1227 Месяц назад

About 4 years ago I got a kv36fs300 for free (well the ordeal of getting it lol) but anyway the guy I got it from told me it was the first TV he bought for himself after moving out on his own, and it was almost 2k after tax when he got it. Good day for me that day lol. And I have several others, but eventually I'll get a scaler for the inevitable time when they're all dead.

@TacticalSnapBack Месяц назад

@@RemoWilliams1227 36?! I didn't even know they made them that big. That's huge as hell. I use a 27 inch which I think is plenty big. I only use it for retro gaming. The games I use it for are only 240p so bigger TVs don't do it much benefit in my case. Same resolution at a bigger size doesn't make it look any better.

@slarbiter Месяц назад

The only thing stopping companies from making them today is supplies and shipping. I believe it's possible to re-invent the same tech for today's market/standards. My wish: original LOW resolution modern CRT, frosted glass screen, same tech redesigned into a flatter screen maybe 6" thick instead of 2 feet thick. I KNOW people would buy if it was an option right now. I have a hard time believing we can't make flatter/lighter CRT tech nowadays

@parski Месяц назад

I love Mike Chi and have no doubt the RT4K is best in class. I'll be on board when sample-and-hold motion clarity can get on par with a CRT. Until then I'm praying for my tubes.

@Mr.Welbig Месяц назад

Mike said it might have to wait until 8K to completely recreate every visual function of a CRT. It also might take 240hz with BFI to even match what 60fps looks like on a CRT. By all means authentic CRTs still can't be touched, but I personally can't recommend spending the cost on admittedly aging hardware unless you're fully on board with it.

@parski Месяц назад

⁠⁠@@Mr.Welbig I've heard numbers way higher than 240 Hz, closer to 1000 Hz (IIRC Digital Foundry). I've tried BFI on my 240 Hz display with software emulation and while it looks really good (and really dark due to three black frames per drawn) it's still a different league than a CRT. But there is no doubt in my mind that we will get there though and the RT4K looks amazing already. We're like 90% there which is more than good enough to switch in my opinion.

It's easy to say "Why don't we have manufacturers for this retro stuff" if people love it? As you guys find out, the answer isn't so simple. It costs an equivalent amount, if not more to reproduce or update older tech. It's not dissimilar to manufacturing an old-fashioned home or classic cars in the modern age. In other words, don't count on that anytime soon.

@Eddyoshi Месяц назад

Another great video as always! Not sure if its just for me, but for some reason whenever you show the Tink's scanline footage you captured, it all has this heavy pink tint to it all. Just when its the scanlines, all other footage is fine.

@Mr.Welbig Месяц назад

It's just the nature of the capturing filters unfortunately. If you mess with the video size in a window you might see this rainbow effect that may be the cause of it. The best way to mitigate it is by watching in fullscreen. I captured in 4K to avoid compression artifacts but even that's not good enough. The filters and colors look totally normal and fine in person. I wish I could show what the filters truly look like in person but that's almost impossible.

@dvsaleios 21 день назад

Can it work with the tink? Yes. But what I suggest personally is throwing that piece of garbage out a window. HDR is to get the brightness back from applying scanlines and masks. If you aren't using those features, then don't apply HDR. It's NOT HDR rendering. It does not magically remaster games to HDR assets. You don't need an OLED to make it look good. It certainly helps though.

You've probably read the comments already regarding the colors, so I'm most likely just beating a dead horse, but there has to be some way to convert HDR to SDR decently? I've never worked with HDR footage (and my screen is also SDR) so maybe it's not that simple, but for future reviews I think I'd be good to try to find a way to improve the footage. It's a great video review held back a bit by not adequately showing one of the devices main selling points. Maybe you're just ahead of the curve, and we scrubs just need to get HDR screens.

I have worked with HDR footage before but for me in my case atm it results in too high a file size for me, and it's incredibly laggy to work with in editing so I opt out. I am planning on getting a new PC hopefully hear soon so I may be able to circumvent that, hopefully. At most all I need is for the footage to be is a rough approximation of what I see in person.

The colours look completely washed out and nowhere nearer close to what a crt looks like? What's going on there? If that's the best it can look for $700 I think I'll pass. Looks awful.

@@Mr.Welbig have you watched the video back via RU-vid to clarify as it truly looks awful. Castlevania, Mario and Metroid all have a yellow tinge to them.

@@daveishereuk I have. I know what you mean. Filters just don't play well in direct capture. Watching in full screen might be the best way to mitigate it. I would capture off screen like I do with the real CRTs but I'd rather not most of the video be captured that way and I don't exactly have decent camera equipment.
