PhotoFast 4K Gamer Pro Video Game Console HDMI 4K upscaler 1080p to 4k @60fps without lag upscale for Nintendo Switch/Nintendo Switch OLED/Wii U/PlayStation 4 / PS3 / Xbox & more

TLDR: Actually Upscale to 4K but takes a 1080p Input. For TVs it can be used alone. For 4K Monitors you'll need to invest extra money into the Marseille MCable Gaming Edition or else it'll look jagged on your 4K Computer Monitor. Third setting is a bit much, 2nd setting seems to be the happy point. Final Connection is Switch HDMI OUT mCable Gaming Edition > HDMI Coupler (Female to Female) > PhotoFast 4K Scaler > 4k Computer Monitor I recently switch from 1440p to 4k Monitor three months ago. I got the Samsung Neo G7, and had been using the mClassic with my switch. The mClassic only upscale to 1440p. It still looked great but I wanted 4k and after doing some searching I landed on this upscale and a couple of video review about it. Decided to go for it after seeing the first 2 detail reviews about it. Upon receiving the 4K Upscaler, I hook it up to my Switch, turn on the monitor, and......meh. It didn't look bad but definitely not smooth around edges of objects and people. But I did expect this as the review I'd looked at state that this Upscaler Sharpen. The review before mine mention adding the mClassic in line with the 4K Upscaler as the mClassic Smooth jagged edges (Anti-Aliasing).... but that didn't work for a my Samsung Neo G7 (4K Computer Monitor) as the mClassic Max Resolution is 1440p and the 4K Upscaler ONLY accepts 1080p input. So something would override the 4K scaler and I would only get 1440p Resolution when daisy chaining them together. Lucky, I had a mCable Gaming Edition (Same company that focus on Anti-Aliasing just the cable vs an small adapter). The cable does not upscale to 1440p, so the daisy chain was mCable Gaming Edition > HDMI Coupler (Female to Female) > PhotoFast 4K Scaler > 4k Computer Monitor. Started up Splatoon 3 and....WOW exactly what I was hoping for 4K Scaling, Smooth, no lag, no loss in colors, and no more jagged edges. Now I'll say that's ALOT of investment just to get 4K Scaling if you using a computer monitors as your going to need to buy the mCable ($110 when on sale) and a HDMI Coupler ($7-10). If you playing on a TV depending on how it look you may need to buy the mClassic ($99) if it looks to jagged to you. But look at the other reviews for that decision. I've only tested this for roughly 12 hours straight, so I will update in the future (if I remember) on how far it last and how other games look.

The original price is about $130. So the current $40 off of $170 coupon just brings it back to normal price. It's annoying that they'd try to trick people into thinking they're getting a great deal. Otherwise, the device makes a noticeable difference in graphics quality.

Used this with the switch . Honestly image quality not much sharper from 1080p at best completely not noticeable sometimes on two TVs side by side . Not worth the price at all

Upon learning that this video image upscaler existed, I looked at some other reviews online to determine whether or not it was legitimate enough to buy. I was somewhat eager to receive and test this out after deciding I would initially make the purchase. After two weeks of usage specifically for the Nintendo Switch, I can say that this product does everything it advertises, that is, upscales images to a 4K resolution and increases color contrast, most importantly successfully processing the source without lag/delay. The difference in image quality with vs. without this is subtle, but noticeable both under scrutiny and casual, sustained play. I've compared games like Splatoon 3 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, but I think there's even further benefits to be had using this with games that run natively sup-1080p, like Xenoblade Chronicles 3 and Persona 5 Royal. Seeing a sharper, clearer image on games on Switch with denser colors is remarkable, but that's essentially all you're paying for. It's up to your discretion if that relevant, albeit minor effect is worth the price that makes it possible. A proper upgraded Switch model could potentially entirely mitigate this product's purpose, unless you have older consoles as well, especially if games get further optimized for the better hardware (i.e. frame rates, lighting, texture quality, other graphical elements beyond simple image upscaling). This is an acquired luxury that's certainly nice to have, but it comes with a hefty price tag. I can only recommend it if you think that justifies what this offers.

I kept saying I probably would never buy this, but now I'm glad I did! I was originally gonna wait for the next Nintendo console which should launch in a year from now, but will probably wait at least a few months before buying one since there probably won't be any games I'll want at launch. I also have the mClassic that I bought three years ago which is great on its own, but makes it even better when paired to this device. My TV says my Switch is now running in 4K when I push the display button & I could for sure see a difference with a noticeably sharper & clearer picture with no input lag at all. I leave my gamer pro on the medium setting like most other people who own this device which for sure has the best balance. The only negative is the price when combined with the mClassic adds up to nearly $300, but I've been using mine for the past week & have been happy with it so far & should get my moneys worth in the long run since I play my Switch nearly every day.

It does what I wanted it to do. I knew that using this alone would upscale and sharpen low-resolution games, but also severely pronounce jagged edges. Thats why this should be paired with the mClassic, which first anti-aliases the image. It certainly improves upon the image sent out by the mClassic, making things look sharper and of higher resolution. Although I thought that I wouldn't, I definitely did notice sharpening artifacts in the medium and high settings, so I will be using it in the low setting, which still looks great. This is not a substitute for native 4K, and even when paired with the mClassic, the low-resolution base image shines through at times. That being said, it’s a definite improvement and loosely resembles a native 4K presentation (when combined), is better than using just the mClassic alone, and I am satisfied with the result.

I am absolutely thrilled with the 4K Gamer Pro. This upscaler is a game-changer for anyone looking to enhance their gaming experience. It converts 1080p games to 4K resolution, resulting in stunningly vivid graphics and breathtaking detail. Love it.

Kurz gesagt: richtig starkes Teil! Vorweg sei gesagt, dass ich hiermit eine absolut ehrliche Rezension verfasst habe und definitiv keinerlei materielle Anreize von irgendwem erhalten habe, um diese Rezension zu veröffentlichen. Ich habe mich vor dem Kauf ausgiebig mit schriftlichem Rezensionen und Videoreviews zu dem Photofast 4K Gamer Pro auseinandergesetzt. Jedem sei die Kundgebung seiner Meinung natürlich gestattet, gar keine Frage! Aber nachvollziehbar finde ich sie trotz der vielen Arbeit, die in manche Tests und technische Evaluationen im Rahmen Rezensionen gesteckt wurde, in Anbetracht der tollen Leistung in realitas nicht!

Das Produkt hält Sein Versprechen zur Besseren Grafik. Auch dir Farben sehen deutlich besser mit Filter aus. Einzig alleine der Preis ist sehr hoch angesetzt aber gerade bei einem sehr großen TV-Bildschirm zu empfehlen.

I have this paired with an mClassic for my Sony 4K OLED and it definitely looks better than the vanilla Switch output. If I had to put a percentage on it I would say a 20-30% improvement in graphical fidelity depending on the game. It is definitely not a “Switch Pro” or anything like that, but the improvement is enough to satisfy me until we get there. In terms of the investment, $200 is steep, and if you put an mClassic next to it you’re looking at over $300. If you have money to burn, and mostly play docked I would recommend it. Otherwise just wait until we get the next Switch.

Besser als erwartet, Installation sehr einfach, Deutsche Anleitung dabei. Netter Kontakt und schnelle Lieferung! Würde wieder etwas kaufen.
