If you bought a large TV in the last 6 months, it is almost certain that it supports 1440p and features Game Mode as an excellent choice for gaming and a more vivid and immersive video experience. The most popular TV manufacturers have realized the importance of these features for gaming and have addressed this in their latest TVs. That’s the good news. The challenge remains that you may not be getting the best out of your new large screen TV since it relies on internal upscaling and processing that may not match your console capabilities and thus wind up introducing some input lag and image artifacts, especially when dealing with non-native resolutions (e.g., retro games or older consoles). Here's where mClassic comes in to optimize your gaming experience and make the most of your new TV purchase.
How mClassic Enhances Your 1440p Large TV Experience
First, let us understand that there are 3 parts to this equation. The quality of the content you are playing on the game console (The Game), the native resolution of the output of your console (The Output) and your TV supported resolution and processing/upscaling capabilities (The TV). There are four areas you need to pay attention to in your game setup that the mClassic will address to help you get the best gaming experience on your large TV.
Perfect Scaling for Non-4K Content
Many older consoles output at 480p or 720p, which can look blurry or stretched on a 1440p or 4K display. mClassic intelligently upscales these resolutions to 1440p, preserving sharpness and detail without lag. Set your console to output its native resolution (e.g. 480p or 720p) and let the mClassic scale it properly to your TV’s resolution (1440p), your TV can scale it up to 4k.
Game Mode + mClassic = No-Lag, Crystal-Clear Graphics
Game Mode on TVs is awesome for gaming as it minimizes processing lag by disabling all forms of processing. This doesn’t improve resolution, though. mClassic ensures that image enhancement and upscaling happen outside the TV’s processing pipeline, meaning you get sharper visuals with zero lag.
Optimized for Retro and Modern Consoles
Retro games designed for CRT displays (NES, SNES, N64, Sega Genesis) often don’t look great on modern flat screens. mClassic’s Retro Mode restores CRT-like colors, aspect ratio and reduces artifacts, making games look closer to how you remember them. For modern consoles like Nintendo Switch, mClassic enhances 720p docked mode to look crisp at 1440p on your big screen.
Bypasses the TV’s Upscaling
Large screen TVs often apply generic upscaling as they must accommodate a wide range of video inputs and may thus be suboptimal for your particular gaming setup. Unfortunately, this can introduce undesirable side effects like motion blur, ghosting, and jagged edges. With mClassic, you let it handle the upscaling instead, delivering a smoother and more natural gaming experience without unwanted artifacts.
Get the Most from Your High-End TV
If you've invested in a 1440p large screen TV with Game Mode for this Super Bowl, pairing it with an mClassic ensures you’re getting the best possible visuals from both retro and modern consoles post this one day event and you get to enjoy your favorite games on the new TV all year around. The zero-lag, intelligent upscaling, and real-time processing guarantee that most games look their best—whether it's an old-school NES classic or the latest Nintendo Switch release.
