It's worth it OP

RT5X (left) vs OSSC (right)

If you want a zero-lag upscaler that doesn't drop its signal and looks almost like emulation at a higher internal resolution, get the Retrotink.

bob deinterlacing on OSSC is impossible to go back to once you try a tink 5x

That's the appeal though, with the right cables they look like what you'd get in an emulator but on original hardware and with genuine scanlines. Modern TVs still can't handle those inputs that well natively without buying extra equipment.
I went from a cheap CRT to a small PVM to a 20" PVM to OSSC to the Retrotink 5X. The cheap CRT is still useful to maintain the look of some games, moreso than my PVM at this point, but it's not about having no input lag anymore. Things have changed.

That's not me you are responding to, but what did I say that was retarded? There are plenty of people out there who tested the Retrotink 5x's lag and it's about 4 ms in Frame Lock mode, so there's no input lag at 60fps.
The real retard is this guy >>9109176 who I believe is trying to claim the Retrotink is pulling a full 4K @ 60fps. It only goes up to 1440p, but I use 1080p which scales beautifully and laglessly on my 4K TV.

PS2 games are the real prize to me, pic related.
Retrotink vs OSSC; I've never seen a real PS2 have video this clear outside of emulation.
