Supporting Component, S-video, and Composite inputs, it also passes through 480p content for newer consoles. Firmware updates via microUSB ensure ongoing performance improvements, making it the ultimate upgrade for retro gaming on modern displays.

## Description

The RetroTINK-2X Pro Multiformat (RT2X-M) is a new product in the 2X line that supports passing thru 480p content for the newer consoles that are capable of progressive scan component output. At the same time, the 2X-M is capable of zero-lag line doubling of 240p/288p/480i/576i content like the rest of the 2X family.

Review: Get this for your PS2, u gonna be amazed =) - I heard about Retrotink long time ago and didnt bother buying from them...until when they launched this box that improves picture quality on legacy consoles, like the Playstation 2 (infamous for having very little games in Progressive mode) and the original Xbox. Didnt expect any miracles, and I have been watching videos on youtube to see if it convinces me, so when I installed it and set it on Linex2 like they told me in the manual I was shocked how good my games looks now. I mean Wow!! Also, with the help of the Mclassic hdmi that improved even further the picture quality, u can say that Retrotink grinds and Mclassic polishes :P I uploaded images of the game Shadow of memories and u can see on Eike how contours and sharpness are improved drastically on him. I put text on all the images when or when not using mclassic/Retrotink and having or not having Linex2 on the Retrotink. Recommend having "Linex2" than "Passthru" on the Retrotink and on the Mclassic on mode "Retro" (blue light) for the best settings. "Filter", I really dont use scanlines and with "Comb" I have it on "Auto" on the Retrotink. One thing on video settings on tvs (mine is Sony oled), I have something called "Wide mode" to fill out the screen horizontally but then the image becomes compressed so characters become dwarfs...haha, what u can do then (if your tv has it) is to go to Home > Settings > Display > Screen, select Wide mode and then at the bottom "Vertical size" lights up and put it to Max, in that way the characters are no longer dwarfs ;) Depends also if the game has some bars top and bottom, so games that are 4:3 can be cropped top and bottom, althou not by much. Play around to fit your preference. Like for instance Silent Hill 2 look great in that way almost fills my screen like to were 16:9 ^_^ Hope this review helped, good luck!
Review: Believe the hype - It's fantastic. Was able to get rid of my trinitron before moving which is a god send if you've ever lifted one of those 100+ pound beast of a tv. This is an absolutely fantastic replacement to an old CRT. My older systems (Genesis, NES, N64, SNES, Saturn) with RGB out (some have to be moddeed) using hdretrovision cables and the retrotink 2x pro all look pretty fantastic on modern tv's now. I dig the scanline mode on it. I'm playing on a 65 inch 4k tv. If you're looking for a way to playing your old school games in a modern fashion, this is the way to go.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this run a wii with component cables ?**
A: Indeed it will! This model can recognize native 480p signals, which the Wii can output when using component cables. In this instance, the 2X can convert the signal to digital, there is no need to scale the signal up, since 480p is already the maximum quality the 2X will scale up to. There is an LED on the 2X that indicates what input the unit is on, and this model has a special one that indicates the signal is 480p: Purple. Green for Component, Yellow for Composite, White for S-Video, and then Purple for a source that is already 480p. The 2X’s analog to digital conversion process is very good, Wii looks very clean. I have 2X Pro-M and have tested with pretty much every game console out there so far. Wii is one of the “prettiest.”

**Q: The pro and the mini say they come with the s-video cable to be used for n64/snes/gc. does this one also come with that?**
A: When I ordered a 2X-Pro directly from RetroTink’s website, that cable was add-on that could be selected. I ordered the 2X Pro-M from Amazon, it did not come with it.

### ⭐⭐ Given as a gift, but I won't be using it.
*by E***D on January 24, 2021*

This was purchased on Amazon and given to me as a gift, and I dont want to be rude by asking them to return it. I will allow for the possibility that my unit is faulty, but I have to review based on my experience. The Good: Compact, just the right amount of features and inputs for someone who wants to play old games and watch old media on modern displays. The Bad: -The scanlines look wrong. -Composite looks worse when using this device than just running it straight into the display, and it introduces ghosting to the image that isn't normally present. - Component seems about the same with or without this device, and I didn't bother testing svideo. I have seen a lot of good reviews on YouTube, but as far as I can tell you are better off either using the inputs on your display if they are available or just investing in a cheap upscaler. One star for the form factor and features, and one star for the fact that it seems like a viable (and really expensive) solution to upscale component to HDMI. If you are reading this I hope your experience is better.
