Try bought this 1440p monitor especially so we could test out 1440p. Seems pretty nice for the price! (Amazon Affiliate Link)

Ill be honest: more often than not i watch MLiG videos solely for the crisp footage of retro games. A punch of nostalgia.
-
We want “Chrono Cross Problem” shirts ASAP
-
I like when Try gets excited explaining 1440p and starts talking like a cartoon character
-
This is a huge step forward for scalers. The retro community is so blessed to have people like Mike. Thank you for your hard work as well, Coury and Try!
-
What a great overview. I have the RetroTink 2x Pro. I may have to upgrade in the future. As always, well done guys.
-
Thanks and congrats to Mike Chi, and really the whole Retro scene. The Tink5x is incredible.
-
You guys always have the best Retrogaming content. This is yet another addition to a great library!
-
The opening music on these videos always makes me happy. You guys do great work.
-
hot dang that is a nice solution that i might just have to pick up. great video again guys its crazy how excited i get when you guys upload its like chirstmas each time.
-
Oh, sick, happy to hear of new options :)
-
I barely have any idea what you guys are talking about, but I love how excited you both are about all of this and it’s fun to watch.
-
MLiG Theme is one of my favorite theme music of all the YouTubers I sub to.
-
Try's enthusiasm is so, so funny. I love it haha. Excellent overview, so detailed, guys! I l would love to get the RetroTink 5x for PS2 now.. man --- and the PS1 480i problem!
-
I've been eagerly awaiting this episode and was not disappointed. It looks amazing, especiallys how it handles 480i. Hopefully I'll be able to afford once soon, I absolutely need this. Thank you for this video!
-
Pulled the trigger on these and it arrived the other day. Even connected with my crappy Amazon composite cables on the SNES it makes a world of difference. Now I'm just waiting on the gComp, and component cables from HD Retrovision for SNES, Wii and Dreamcast to be available! This channel is really great. I had an itch that needing scratching bit wasn't sure what it was until a few months ago when I stumbled on a MLiG video while watching another video.
-
Yours channel was revelation to me otherwise never will heard for these products and such a deep technical analysis. Only wanted to play GT4 in Full HD but now must have that 5X. ;)
-
Wow that instant switching is huge I've been waiting years for a "perfect" solution. I may try to get one of these purely for that. Glad to see more of these products other than ossc and framemeister coming to the market.
-
I’ve never clicked on a MLiG video faster than clicking buy for the Retrotink 5X purchase.
-
Thank you for this video it played a BIG part in me getting a Retrotink 5X
-
Imo the best review so far. Thanks!
