Is A PS1 HDMI Mod Needed For The Best RetroTink 4K Experience?

Welcome to part 2 of our HDMI-modded consoles used with the RetroTink 4K discussion! This week we are covering the Sony PlayStation. PlayStation has 2 HDMI mods available for it with the PS1 Digital and PixelFX Gem. In this video, we will be comparing the original PS1 Digital with updated Pixel FX firmware against HD Retrovision component cables. Is the HDMI mod with the install and money or does a plug-and-play solution work best with the RetroTink 4k?!
