4K Gamer Pro Review: Sharp-Scale 1080p to 4K

I'm internally crying that TVs don't offer nearest neighbor scaling. It's really the simplest way to scale anything and would make a world of difference for the niche that appreciates it.
Great review. Your dedication to a thorough review is greatly felt.

Bro does this work well for the ps3 to upsclae to 4k led tv

Have you tried using this on a WiiU? Looking for a good upscaler for Wii U play.

Such a shame it doesn't allow 720p input.

Hi. Can it upscale 720p or 576p, or is it just 1080p, please?

Will this 4K Gamer work with my original N64?

Can it do 1440p as well?

combine the two 🤔

Hi. Does it upscale 1080p 60 hz to 4k?

When I try to capture gameplay with the elgato 4k60 s+, using the gamer+ gives me a totally oversaturated image in the recording, although on screen it looks great. Anybody know a solution for this?

I hate the 1080p requirement. I want this for the ps3 but majority of those games only push 720p

I was disappointed with what happened to my n64 picture quality after upgrading to 85” 4K from a 1080p 55” plasma. I’m wondering if I need to put retrotink2x output thru this?

That is good to know, that it doesn't suck

Thanks for video been trying to find something that would work with my c2 for the switch

The mClassic MisTer example isn't correct, you have to lower the input resolution you're passing into the mClassic for it to add appropriate anti-aliasing e.g. it adds more AA on my 480p Wii than my 1080p Switch. If you're feeding it 1080p it isn't going to do anything for PS1 games.

I just bought the Mclassic and I am returning it. I purchased the Mclassic to use on my PS3 Slim but I did not like the unnatural image at all because it looks like I rubbed Vaseline on the screen. Call me crazy but I think the PS3 looks better without the Mclassic processing. I will just wait for a 4K Retrotink.

I love this device but I am getting a loss signal error on my TV every 20 min or so. Any one else?

What an amazing video. The effort that went into is extraordinary. Well done.

also increases the FPS to 60?

So how do I get this working with MiSTer exactly? What setting needs to be adjusted in the .ini to change HDMI polarity?
I just got mine and it won’t work with MiSTer.

I tested it with some things so far, and I didn’t really like what it did with Xbox and Gamecube after upscaling those to 1080p with RetroTink5x, but I do like it a lot for Switch as I always hated the Switch’s soft ass output to my LG OLED
This thing woulda been so much more useful to me if it worked on 720p sources though, PSTV and PS3 could use it

if this supported 720p it would be a no brainer.

Do you know how I can use this with 480p or 1440p content? Maybe you should try an Xbox 360 set to 720p upscaled to 1440p downscaled to 1080p then upscaled to 4k. This product just frustrates me. It should be able to accept any resolution and upscale to 4k. The product page specifically states ps3 and xbox set to 1080p but the native resolution of those games are 720p or less (some games output sub 720p and upscale to 720p).

Did you try to add this doodad on the back of an AVR? I have my switch, and Retrotink 5x hooked directly into my receiver, and I am curious if it will do the same thing as if I hooked it directly onto those devices. Im also curious to see what it will do if it is daisy chained with an Mclassic. If I play gamecube, I go Carby+Mclassic retro mode and I really like the results. Curious if this will make it even better.

In terms of motion u can tell they include some lil blur not as nice in motion

Can use it together with my Mclassic (at the same time)?

Your Intro & presentation told me that if I should trust anyone. It was you. 😎✌️

I really want to use this and my Mcable together. Sharpen up that already wonderful anti-aliased image and bump it up from 1080p to 4k. Man, I can't wait until August.

Dear RetroRGB, are there any no lag scalers out there that take a 720p signal and make it 4k? my tv has kinda high input lag with 720p, but if i feed it a 4k signal the input lag is good. Hate to buy a new tv just to have less input lag with 720p playstation 3 games. thanks!

Seems pretty cool. I would like to try this out with PS3 and 360 games.

On that screen running

Which one screen used for comparisons ????

Cool video but does it help make the aspect ratio bigger like with Mcclassic connected to retro consoles?

Sell me one

doh! Kickstarter snag this morning
"This is a message from Kickstarter’s Trust and Safety team. We're writing to inform you that a project you backed, 4K Gamer Pro: Instantly Upgrade Your Game Console to 4k, is the subject of an intellectual property dispute." :/

Looks like AMD FSR 1.0 LOL!

this review is actually op I just subbed :)

What about using this device in PS3/XBOX 360?

My SONY TV has something called reality creation which can sharpen the image.

Can you use this with the RetroTink 5x for 4K, or would it be redundant?

When he said Sonic Mania looked better with 4Kgamerpro I turned it off that’s hilarious no way does that look better!!

Someone just build a box that pure integer scales 1080 and 720 to 2160 please.


No menu, no other functions, just HDMI in and HDMI out.

Pixels will be so happy that someone finally gets them.

Thanks for this review. I think I'll just wait for the mClassic 4k model.

Thank you for the informative video Bob. For retro games, the sharp scaling is indeed useful. As for Switch games, mCable's anti-alias feature sometimes may be preferred. Did you try daisy chaining the mCable and 4K Gamer Pro?

I'm amazed where at 5 plus years into the Nintendo switch lifespan 3 different switches yet not 1 has been made native 4k I did like the look of the oled but no 4k was a deal breaker 4 me

This thing, while well designed, solves a non-issue and even if sharpness was an issue for people, I think most of us are better off waiting for the next Switch.

Neat..... I wonder how it works with the classic Framemeister.... It would be nice to go right out of it and directly to 4K with out needing the TV to do anything (and that could add some possable lag)

As a device marketed toward Switch, which almost never has any anti-aliasing, I think I'd rather have the three modes be smooth/soft, "pure" which would just be nearest neighbor with no added smoothing or sharpening, and then sharp, which is maybe the medium setting they currently have. It'd be awesome to have this hooked up for Switch, PS3, and 360.
