mClassic for my specific use case?

Haha yea, all the FHD OLEDs (That I know of) are portable so far.

I'd love a 32in 1080p OLED.. but i'm weird... never gonna happen

EDIT: I've been trying very hard (for months) not to buy a 15in OLED for farting around with retro games on.

I have an mClassic, and it certainly helps smooth things out a little bit, but I don't think it's worth the money, personally. I use a 65" 2140p120 OLED TV, and the difference I notice with my PS3, 360, Wii U, and PS TV is pretty minimal. I echo maru's suggestion of waiting for the RetroTink4K and shelling out the money for that. I have the RetroTink5X, and it's literally the greatest purchase I've ever made.

If using a 4k tv aren't you then upscaling multiple times? mClassic to 1440p + TV to 2160p. Even more for 360.. 360 built in scale to 1080p + mClassic to 1440p + TV to 2160p..

This is why I think it should be pretty good for 1440p monitors. Too bad the price is a little too high to just toss into the cart and try. If it was under $75 (CAD) I wouldnt be making posts. Would have just tried hehe

I'm quite happy with what the RetroTink 5X Pro does when upscaled to 4K. I'll be getting the RetroTink 4K shortly, so I won't need the old one and could sell it at a discount.

[fuctfuct]

That would be cool, and thank you.

However, with no HDMI input, it won't halp me very much

[Anapan]

Oh, right! 1080i input only as well.
I have an unused XRGB Framemeister that says it can do 1200p output through its DVI and takes HDMI in, but it only scales to 1080p and puts black bars. Thinking of putting it in the auction so you could try your luck with that.

So I’m pulling up this thread since I mentioned on the Xbox 360 game sales post that I’d be buying an mClassic in the future.

Well I did.

I bought it to specifically use it on the PS3 and Xbox 360. And I gotta say: it does work quite well so far. I have an Acer 27” 1080p monitor.

On the 360, I read that dropping the resolution down to 720p and having the dongle do the work of upscaling the image to 1080p with the AA processing works best. I am playing Singularity and I do see a big difference when I toggle the switch from on to off. Edges are cleaner, details are sharper, and the color seems more accurate. The Xbox Originals of GTA San Andreas looks great too!that game has an internal resolution of 480p.

On the PS3, I did the same thing with the resolution. I didn’t try a game though. I tried a South Park DVD and I see am improvement but it’s still rough given the source material (episodes are from 1999).

That’s it so far.

[Anapan]

That's probably the best use! Most 360 games are native 720, and running them at 1080p is already ruining their fidelity. Glad you aren't disappointed in it. I still didn't get a RT4K. I've been enjoying the old games emulated to 4K @ 60fps.

[Gucci]

It’s a great little device for sure. On the 360, they are nice enough to include what resolution the games are running on. Target resolution I suppose and it isn’t on every game I don’t think. The older COD games were running at 576p or something random.

I have it hooked up to an Xbox One S now and Hogwarts Legacy, a 720p game with significant jaggies, has transformed into a great looking game! I mean it’s night and day difference!

[marurun]

Glad that’s working out for you!
