Amazing for upscaling videogames and DVDs!
The mClassic is a fantastic device. It has strengths and limits, but the results are amazing when it is used right. My main use of the mClassic is with retro videogames because it upscales the graphics extremely fast without introducing unwanted artifacts or alterations.
My examples focus mostly on 480p content because it is the content that is most dramatically enhanced. The Dreamcast natively outputs a clean 480p signal and can be used with HDMI through a few converters. I use the OSSC to convert to HDMI and the mClassic scales and applies AA to create a beautiful image. The other example that I included is of an anime DVD because it is another example or 480p content. A lot of anime is only available on DVD and might never get released on Blu-ray, but the mClassic does an amazing job at upscaling the video with minimal artifacts.
It is really handy to be able to turn the mClassic off when I play a game with sharp pixel art that I don't want scaled by the mClassic.
