For anyone reading up on this, here's the strategy I came up with: Assess how much input lag your TV suffers from when upscaling 480p content If the input lag is negligible, go thrifting for a reciever. If you can't find one, get a Retrotink. Hope this helps.

A thought that just crossed my mind is will the RetroTink 2x be outdated in a few years. 4k is starting to become the norm and with some TV's having poor/laggy upscaling of 1080p content it could be a good idea to get a RetroTink 4k to futureproof my setup. Or I could get a better TV.

Alas, that won't be an option. I'm using component.

Thanks for your advice. The most I'm willing to spend would be $150 which would land me a RetroTink 2x or an OSSC. I'm playing on a 1080p TV, so I'm not going to get an integer scale Which one has better interpolation?

Apologies if this is in the wrong board, there's no general hardware board :v I'm a pretty big fan of the Wii. Anyone who grew up with it will tell you how magical the system is. Even in 2024 using a Wii takes me back to a time when people looked forward to what technology the future would bring. Alas, my TV is not very kind to analog signals, with just enough video delay to irritate me. I've been looking at solutions such as the RetroTINK, the OSSC, ect. but they're all rather pricey. I'm not interested in solutions outside of a real Wii and a digital signal. Feel free to share your thoughts!
