I just don't see the point of that thing for gaming, retro or otherwise.
Even for productivity purposes, I prefer a dual screen setup.
If space is a concern/constraint, a dual monitor articulated arm setup makes more sense to me.
But that's just my opinion/preference.
i just started to use the ossc with alternative 4:3 readout for vga, it is fine on a 34" ultra wide screen w/o 4:3 mode.
the 1:1 output is very similar sized to a 14" vga display, the 4:3 stretched output interpolated of course, but i liked more than to use some old display. i could fit my retro rig to the same desk setup than my macbooks (for sound i use a usb analogue mixer to manage the more sound cards scenarios to the studio monitors).
i tried with more tricky resolutions (demoscene), or 1024x768 for the win98 - i do not think make sense to hunting some very special displays just for retro purposes. i already ordered an oled monitor for testing, but be honest i am worrying more about the mac text clarity, than the retro output.
for longer term... the retrotink4k or similar will be fine, just they should reduce the price, 750$ 1.5x more than a new console just for conversion.
