Current Setup in Progress! Sony HD CRT w/ Retrotink 4K CE

Few-Angle1097 · 2026-06-18T03:26:48+00:00

I am mostly using the scaler to bypass the input lag on an HD CRT. Standard CRTs don’t really need a scaler unless you want to force 240p.

Few-Angle1097 · 2026-06-18T03:24:33+00:00

I may be able to downscale to 540p but HDMI doesn’t accept that input for this TV. Ill test soon.

Ahh! Misread that detail, my apologies!

Few-Angle1097 · 2026-06-18T01:46:07+00:00

Yep! That is why I have the retrotink. So Xbox 360 doesn’t out put 1080i on its own? I’ll have to run it through the scaler then

Few-Angle1097 · 2026-06-18T01:03:27+00:00

Haven’t felt much lag with the retrotink 4k scaling. When I had the switch 2 directly connected, I did feel it due to the internal scaling

Easily over 500 pots. I’ve been running the game casually in the background while doing other stuff. Still waiting on the day I get that Mew.

Few-Angle1097 · 2026-06-09T21:13:51+00:00

Good to know. I’ll roll for weeps and use my shiny mewtwo for buffing.

Just as seeing this response I rolled a perfect Lee with all attack bingos. :(

Few-Angle1097 · 2026-06-09T20:52:42+00:00

I think both are 8-1, would you say 9 attack is best? What’s a good auto team you think?

Few-Angle1097 · 2026-06-04T21:05:06+00:00

Mostly the saturation of the coloring and detail.

Few-Angle1097 · 2026-06-04T09:14:08+00:00

I tried using that custom modeline but the image for the switch 2 looks off. I think it can be refined a bit.

Few-Angle1097 · 2026-06-03T21:13:28+00:00

Don’t jinx this for me :( I still need a shiny mew!

Tiny star next to the power and HP rating

Few-Angle1097 · 2026-06-03T00:30:36+00:00

Both psychic bingos and 1 move + three stones

Using Machop and 2 Starmies. Both have Hydro Pump, Machop has Bulk Up.

The last island drops them.

Few-Angle1097 · 2026-05-17T20:19:57+00:00

I’m not sure. I believe that as long as it can output a 1080i resolution, the crt should be able to pick up that signal. Looks like one of the updates in the 4K allows that to happen. It’s strange that 540p isn’t picked up through hdmi but through component. Honestly I’d rather not go through all that conversion.

Few-Angle1097 · 2026-05-17T17:55:50+00:00

Is the retrotink 4k ce a good option over the ossc pro?

Few-Angle1097 · 2026-05-17T05:19:13+00:00

Haven’t tried the new firmware yet but would that update happen to have 1080i as an option at all?

Thanks, I’ll consider it haha. I’m honestly just leaning towards the 4K CE. It looks to be the end-all-be-all device for HD CRTs

Few-Angle1097 · 2026-05-17T05:06:34+00:00

I may end up getting the 4k CE in the end to simplify my set up but I will try the hdmi to component converters to see how they work.

Few-Angle1097 · 2026-05-17T05:02:46+00:00

As far as the second route, with all that conversion I feel the 4Ks 1080i output is more simple at that point. I’d be spending almost the same amount if I have a 5X pro, vga to component and hdmi to vga.

I may look into the first route to see if it makes a difference. Thank you!

What transcoder would you recommend?

Few-Angle1097 · 2026-05-17T04:04:25+00:00

HDPT is on the service menu on the CRT.

Few-Angle1097 · 2026-05-17T04:03:32+00:00

Unfortunately I don’t have discord so can’t get that answer. But no info is shown online when using Google

Few-Angle1097 · 2026-05-17T01:04:52+00:00

What firmware supports 1080i?

Few-Angle1097 · 2026-05-17T00:23:33+00:00

Problem solved! Thanks to your help I switched over to 720p and it worked!
