Ryan of Archades Games recently posted a “Motion Adaptive Deinterlacing Shootout” between the RetroTINK 4K, RetroTINK 5x and PixelFX Morph. It’s a great look into where each scaler is with 480i support at the moment and should give customers a fair idea of what to expect if they purchase any of the three. That said, […]

It combines a game library consisting of fast-paced FMV crosshair shooters and quick-time event games like Triad Stone all in 240p, with a need for high-quality 480i deinterlacing for its use as a LaserDisc […]
Mike Chi has just released a new firmware for the RetroTINK 5x that includes by far the best fake scanlines I’ve ever seen. There are actually three new modes: “Slot Mask”, “Aperture Grille” and “PVM”, each including some vertical effects, rather than just horizontal lines across the screen. For the first time ever, I’m loving the […]
