It's based on line-doubling (or quintupling in this case) and should have no lag when not interlace blending/buffering like his other devices you daft cunt, but because of numbskull slack-jawed retards like yourself with reflexes in another timezone, he thinks it's OK to just leave lag always on for convenience.

It's just lowering standards back in the direction to the shitty NES-on-a-chip trash we had 15 years ago with "heh it's good enough for idiots to give me money for" hack mentality. Worst part is when people like RetroRGB, who's been very strict with laggy devices and usually trashing them hard, suddenly 180s and is like "um guise, heh, so who cares about constant lag anyways, right heh?" when reviewing the 5x shattering the credibility he has built up over the years. Mike must give some amazing head or something.

It's just so frustrating because the 5x is perfect (especially with the composite option and after the Christmas update!) EXCEPT for the fact it ADDS LAG when there is absolutely no reason it should just playing 8-bit & 16-bit consoles with no interlacing.

I have a 2x-mini and I'm pretty happy with it, but I never would have bothered to buy an upscaler in this first place if my modern TV had composite, component or s-video. I probably still would have held off but my friends like when I bring retro stuff over to their places sometimes. I'm still stuck using my PS2 with my Sony SSM but, like, oh no. I have to use a CRT sometimes still. Not a big deal.

>>8513164
It's true that upscaling will add lag no matter what, but the type of upscaling here is line-doubling that is capable of sub-millisecond latency and in the OSSC and the other RetroTink scalers the latency is measured in NANOSECONDS, that's the actual range the human brain consciously struggles to register impactful differences and is what often gets accepted as being practically zero lag.

The thing that will add lag for sure no matter what is the de-interlacing process where the device will have to do some work to produce the intended picture, but this is only needed for interlaced material (some PS2, GCN, Dremcast stuff etc) and should not be impacting anything else, which is why it's so fucked up that it does in the RetroTink 5x Pro that is otherwise just pure perfection.

>>8513147
If you are just using flash carts and RGB cables in pursuit of the clearest image possible, then yeah it's pretty much pointless to go through all the struggle to just ending up with things looking like it's emulated on PC anyways. But PCs and emulation boxes based on the Raspberry Pi or hacked retro "mini-consoles" will still have latency issues, so the best option is then to go with FPGA based devices like those from Analogue or the all-in-one MiSTer project that will feed the bit-perfect system logic digital-to-digital straight to your monitor without analog conversion delay or emulation overhead.

For me, I have the Analogue systems and the MiSTer, but I actually prefer the dirty composite look, sound and feel and that's something you honestly only get right with real hardware at this point and combined with the shadowmasks on the 5x it starts to look real close to my CRTs ...problem is again that fucking lag though breaking the whole illusion and bringing it back a feel closer to emulating on PC with CRT filters.

I found owning a broadcast monitor worth it because they're more likely to support S-video and you can easily flip them into portrait orientation for games that support it.

It'll definitely be interesting to see how the PixelFX morph pans out, whether it'll have less lag and similar features or not. Weird that it accepts BNC inputs though.

I got a Sony 14M4U for free years ago after seeing a similar PVM from someone on /a/ and thinking it was cool. After a couple months of casually searching, I found an old couple who were giving a bunch away after retiring from their wedding photography business. I thought it was great for a desktop setup when I was in university, and even when I was in my first tiny ass apartment. But after buying a house, I came to appreciate having a dedicated setup with a huge screen. Both were great depending on where I was in life.

In a best case scenario with a 1000hz poll rate their various models run from 4.5ms to 137ms latency, and wireless always will have variable latency.

Listen, if you can't feel the difference, it's still fun to play and you can afford to shell out the cash for the kit instead of going with emulators and probably getting the same (or less) latency then you're probably fine, not everyone is a sweaty cocksucker looking to 1CC every game or autistically sensitive to "game-feel".

The issue is however that the lag on the RetroTink 5x Pro should be completely unnecessary on non-interlaced games, even if you don't notice it but ESPECIALLY if do, and for the price you want the best, no compromises. Then there's the semi-militant deference-force you see on twatter and on forums attacking anyone asking why this is and RetroRGB publicly bending the knee and taking Mikes lag-rod firmly up the ass, it all seems so dirty and rotten somehow.

I'm a eurofag, things used to suck in europe back in the days because of fucking PAL releases. Playing PAL releases of metal gear or silent hill sucked so much I had to get that shit chipped and pirate that shit. Then I had to get a crt that supported NTSC signal.
Nowadays though, all sony trinitron crts that I come across always have s-video AND actual RGB. Tried out the RGB connection and played some silent hill. It looked so bad lol. You could see all the artifacting in the FMVs, as well as every single pixel on the light filtering in the game. The snow was now just blatant white squares. CRT bros, don't fall for the RGB meme. Half the appeal of using one IS the natural image blur that just masks unappealing parts of games. You'll hardly need image quality better than s-video on a set, and that's more for watching shit like old star trek, twin peaks, the wire, teenage mutant ninja turtles or evangelion, if that's your thing.
I personally haven't tried out those scanline boxes, but they don't sound like the best solution. Don't trinitrons have s-video in the US? Just get an old gpu with s-video out, plug it into your pc along with the one you're using and output that on a crt as your second screen. Especially now that most pc motherboards have more than one pcie x16 slot, it would be both the cheapest and tidiest solution.
Have a good one, bros!

Yeah, usually the Genesis/Mega Drive get brought up as a main offender of heavy dithering but I'd venture to say the PS1 is far WORSE, there's literally dithering patterns on EVERYTHING and you'll need composite blending to tame the gritty polygons and textures not matching up and FMVs looking like they're rendered in porridge of glass shards. I've come full circle and composite everything from the 80s and 90s, but he PS1 and Genesis are the 2 consoles I absolutely cannot play without composite cables under any circumstance.

As for DVDs I've have a ton of stuff that's never been re-released on Blu-ray and look like absolute crap on modern TVs, just for shits and giggles I put them in my PS2 with a composite cable into one of my CRTs, and as a dirty composite faggot I must say the results surprised even me, all the color-banding and compression artifacts GONE, and looks like the resolution got doubled due to the composite signal and scanlines/slotmasks doing their magic. Try it with your DVDs, it answered my question of how the fuck I could stand watching DVDs back in the 90s and early 00s.

I never got this being a problem, just turn down brightness and turn up contrast and saturation/color to compensate?

Yes I do get the color accuracy is immensely better without the composite luma/chroma blending, but on CRT TVs the nature of the display technology itself doesn't really lend itself to gain a tremendous benefit from this accuracy either since the scanlines/shadowmasks breaks up the picture and the bloom and decay of the lines being projected on the phosphors have a extremely narrow time-frame were they're at just the right temperature and brightness to be accurate.

If you are doing critical video editing on a PC CRT monitor then sure, but for playing 80s and 90s console videogames it's not going to make any difference except for not masking dithering, breaking up trapezoid patterns and color blending properly like with the RF/composite signal they were tailored to look right on. Yes, the SNES/Genesis and PS1 could do S-Video/Component/RGB but this had to do with monitor compatibility so you could use them on whatever you got rather than the targeted optimal way to play them.

Composite does look horrible on modern flat-screens TVs without scanlines/shadowmasks though absolutely, but that's because the signal is lacking half of the equation it needs to pull off it's bag of tricks to look right, so using RGB cables in this scenario is completely understandable and why the whole RGB modding/cable craze started in the first place I suppose.

>not inheriting all your TVs

I got a 20” flat Trinitron from my parents, a 27” curved Trinitron from my grandfather, and a 36” Toshiba HD-CRT from the previous owners of my house. The latter has been my main TV for the past 5 years. Meanwhile my sister is on her third TV in 5 years. In that span of time, my she forked out $4,000 to Red China for two TVs, both of which failed just outside of warranty. After the second $2,000 set went down the drain, she found out one of her friend’s parents were ditching a 65” Panasonic Plasma because it was “so old”. She’s using that now and it’s a great set. This one is rated to a lifespan of 100,000 hours. Chances are it will last a while.

Depends on whether you want consistent larger lag or lower variable lag. The next best deinterlacer, the 5X, ossicilates between 7ms and 20ms of lag on triple buffer.

shit geometry ruins any other sort of image fidelty gain you'd have by using a CRT. Seriously I don't know how people stand that shit. I have what many consider to be the holy grails of CRT's, a BVM D20F1U and it sits in a closet because I can't get the geometry to an acceptable level as to not bother me when playing any game that scrolls

OLED with HDR shaders and BFI is just a superior option to me unless you could show me a CRT with absolutely perfect geometry which I'm pretty sure isn't a thing, and even then you're stuck with a 20-30" which is kind of lame unless you have a dedicated desk setup

the situation with ps1 games on ps2 is not that simple. you either need a mod chip or a physical disc for that to work. A ps3 is a much better option for ps1 games than ps2. also the retrotink supports 240p downscaling so you can play ps1 games at original resolution on ps3.
