At first blush, the madVR Envy Extreme Mk2 Video Processor’s price seems, well, extreme. But taken in the context of high-end AV, it’s far less expensive than a lot of audio equipment I’ve seen. It does for video what a $100,000 Naim amplifier does for stereo. So, by that logic, it’s a bargain! The resulting video quality simply cannot be replicated by any other product I’m aware of. Its MotionAI processing is superb, and it does the best HDR tone-mapping I’ve yet seen. Build quality is as good as it gets and the ability to upgrade the core video board is a huge plus. The software is well-engineered and well-designed for easy setup and use.

The madVR Envy video processors provide a robust feature set that continues to grow and move this very small segment of the industry forward to keep up with today’s needs in video, while also setting madVR apart from the competition with their forward-looking outlook and approach to what today's video processor can be and should be.
