Pairing the RetroTink 4K with a PS2 gives the system a fantastic look thanks to its deinterlacing and 4K output. Deciding whether or not to pair the RetroTink 4K with a Retro GEM HDMI mod is a question that has been asked many times since its release. I have created this comparison and discussion for you all to decide for yourself if an HDMI-modded PS2 is worth it for your setup over standard Component output!
