Give me one reason why I shouldn't buy this

emulation is $750 less

Don't buy it if money's tight
I got the 2X and I'm jealous of the new models

If you're a retro autist who is playing on real hardware why the fuck would you be caring about 4k upscaling? Wouldn't you be playing on a piece of shit CRT TV that ways 400 pounds so you could get a more authentic experience? What's the point of playing The Legend of Zelda on a 4K OLED with scan line filters when the game was never meant to look like that

>>712564332 (OP)
what filters should i use on retroarch for SNES games?

youtubers who want to capture video at higher rez

>>712564332 (OP)
It's overpriced at 750 just because there's no competition

>>712564332 (OP)
it's a lot of money for a pair of rabbit stickers

Why would someone answer your questions when you're clearly retarded?

I own the non-pro version. It's fine, but I wasn't blown away. Especially with non-modded consoles, you are going to be dealing with shitty video output (the N64 is a good example). I also find the interface for the device itself to be shitty and unintuitive.

this is probably going to get a ton of shit, but i legit think an AI scaler trained to mimic CRT output would be better than this.

It's getting to the point that you really need to be able to do maintenance on that kind of shit, and that is beyond the scope of most people's knowledge and interest. Parts aren't necessarily easy to come by either. The days of the casual CRTanon are slowly coming to an end.

Because the 5X is good enough. Still never going higher than 1080p on any of my displays.

>>712567990
but he's not wrong
otherwise you'd be able to attack his argument instead of semantics about grammar

I think the eventual end-game will be in VR, whatever that looks like in the future. VR emulation with virtual CRTs is already pretty cool, though you do have the gotchas of software emulation at play. I don't think anyone can really say what tech is going to look like five years from now, things are moving very quickly with both AI and neural interfaces.

>>712568164
Kind of dumb that people would be enthusiastic enough to spend 750 dollars on an upscaler but not on learning how to maintain a CRT

>>712569217
Anon, there is all sorts of stuff that goes into that, and it's beyond the scope of a casual hobby for most people. It will also cost more than $750, especially if you account for time. Most people just want to be able to plug their PS2 into their TV and have the picture be decent and the latency unnoticeable.

>>712569408
Paying the same amount of money as a switch 2 with mario kart or an upscaler hmmm

Emulation is $750 cheaper.

>>712568384
Fine: People have preferences, that's plenty.
Further, most TVs have shit scaling or A/D conversion. Many new TVs don't have analog inputs. This box improves or solves all of the above.
Now that we attacked his argument, you're a faggot and you should locate your shift key someday.

>>712564332 (OP)
You stupid dumb, just download emulators on you fucking crappy PC, you bitch

The rolling bfi is fucking awesome. Wish this thing could take 4k input because I'd have that on for every console

>>712564332 (OP)
$750 gets you a 4k capable ps3 emulator with the screen included in the price

>>712572813
4k upscale is way different than 4k render res

>>712564332 (OP)
Shut the fuck up, sheep.

>>712564503
Emulation is not perfect.
