Just hooked up my new mCable Gaming Edition HDMI cable. If you are not familiar, this is an HDMI cable that has a built in processor that applies anti aliasing to the image. This was very attractive to me because so many first party Nintendo games use no AA what so ever. I was also interested in this for playing Wii games. Games like Mario Galaxy and Resident Evil 4 are still good looking games to this day, but the lack of AA can be a bit of an eye sore on modern LCD TV's. Replaying these old games with better image quality was probably the most attractive aspect for me. Switch games like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Mario Odyssey are certainly going to benefit as well. I wish I could say that I needed more time to test, but I think this is an example of something that either blows you away or underwhelms. For most people, this is not going to be worth $120-140. Does it work? Yes, it does apply "some" AA to the image, but it does not remove jaggies. It makes an improvement to games like Mario Galaxy, but because those games are very low resolution, the AA can only do so much to smooth out those jaggies.
I will flesh out my thoughts a bit more after playing some more, but right now I would say this is a luxury purchase that only very few will find to be worth the cost.
