Mike Perry — Hardware researcher since 2014. For projectors, gaming displays and video upscalers, synthesises manufacturer specs against measured reviews (ProjectorCentral, RTINGS), treating non-ANSI "lumen" figures as marketing claims rather than first-hand lab testing. Core beat: GPU performance across gaming, rendering, and local-LLM inference. How we check display specs →

Key Features

  • SOUND PERFORMANCE: Sound performance is very good. Under normal circumstances, there is no problem with sound digitization, but it looks like an explosion on the bust stand, and the output sound may be a bit rougher.
  • FILTER MODE: For thread mode is entirely based on preferences. Retro turn off wire mode for 2D games (for , etc.) and three dimensional games (for n64, for , etc.). Additionally, wire mode can help reduce flicker.
  • COMPATIBILITY: True 480p60 signal is output, making it compatible with any device under test. Support for ntsc and pal signals without mutual conversion. Any signal compatible with target device can be inserted, as ntsc cannot work with pal HD multimedia interface devices, and the same for the other way around.
  • SIGNAL AND RESOLUTION: You can take 240p 480i 288p 576i ntsc pal source converter to 480p 576p HD multimedia interface output (for ntsc 480p, for pal 576p). The output resolution of this device as high as 480p 576p.
  • LATENCY: for retroscaler2x is a latency device that has been validated with many different measurements and devices. Outputs a true 480p60 signal, making it compatible with any device I have tested.
