Are you a retrogamer?

I would love to see RetroTINK 4K in person - from what I know (theoretically) on what it can do, they did a really great job with CRT emulation, especially for folks who aim for that "BVM/PVM via component cables" feel. I know it can do consumer via composite pretty good, it's just that for someone like me that actually wants for 80s games to look like they did in 80s on consumer TVs, I don't think that hardware inside of it can physically emulate everything that highest end GPU shaders (that can gobble up so much of modern GPUs that it's ridiculous) can. 

But yeah, it's certainly remarkable box, and if I was in the market for such standalone box at this moment, I would certainly go with it due all the things it offers, ease of use and pretty much no additional latency.

Consumer sets in the 80's would be composite or RF. I've never tried to emulate either on a Tink 4K. There's just no need. Component, S-Video, and RGB Scart all look better and keep the games looking authentic. I'll see if anyone with a Tink4K has bothered to try and respond with what they say. 

Oh, S-Video, Component and SCART certainly do look better, as in cleaner, but thing about early 80s CRTs is that, in most cases, you hooked your console/computer to them via RF, or in better case composite - well, at least from what I've seen back then around houses. So that's my memory of how those games should look. I think I've seen first SCART somewhere in later 80s, but by that time TV were already better than those relics from early 80s, and it was already 16 bit era, so different experience from early 8 bit days (which for me started around 83 with ZX Spectrum and C64).
