HDMI Cable for PlayStation 2 & PlayStation 1 Console (PS2 & PS1), PS1/PS2 to HDMI Adapter with True RGB Signal Output (100% Improved Video Quality), HD Converter with 4:3/16:9 Switch

Most HDMI adapters for PS2 are super cheap, bad quality, and fail over time. I had to return a different one because the video was too blurry. This one has held up and works great. Using on a 4K Sony Bravia TV and it looks great, especially for the price. It's not going to make your 480p games look 4K or any extreme upscaling but it has no grain and is clear.Ease of Use: It plugs into the back of the PS2 and then connect to its little box. The box has an HDMI cord that goes to your TV. The box needs its own power source and comes with a micro-USB cable. I just plug it into my TVs USB port when in use and unplug it when I'm done. I wouldn't recommend leaving it plugged in all the time as I've heard it can lead to it failing over time, but I have not had any issues.

UPDATE: 1 star to 5 stars, thanks to great customer service!I had originally posted the review below and had some significant frustrations with the product. After posting the review, a rep from LevelHike contacted me and was sincerely interested in helping resolve the issue. They stated that the product I unfortunately originally received was defective, and they assured me that a replacement would not have the same issue.They were right! I can now enjoy my classic slim PS2 on my HDMI compatible TV, with zero issues. The picture looks great and the cable and housing are solid - nothing on the product is sensitive to the touch like the previous item I had received.Outside of the product itself, I would like to commend them for taking the steps to work with a less-than-satisfied customer. It is not often that you find this level of post-sale service, and this company does want to create a well made product that customers will be happy with - and it shows.I have no issue recommending this product to friends that want to get their retro-gaming system working on their modern TVs. Thanks LevelHike!========ORIGINAL REVIEW BELOW========I purchased this cable to try and get the best possible picture out of my PS2 and modern TV. I read a few reviews and figured why not, it's got to be better than the composite cables that came with the console, right? I couldn't have been more wrong.The device ships in a small cardboard box. It includes all the cables you would need to hook up to your HDMI based TV, as well as a basic instruction manual. It's quite easy to use - you plug in the HDMI cable to your monitor, the av port to the PS2, and the USB cable to the device and then the PS2 USB port. You then need to configure the PS2 to use RGB output by going into the PS2 menu.After setup, I immediately noticed that the colors were not correct. They seemed washed out. So I made sure the device was plugged in properly to the PS2. Then everything went to a green tint. Touched the device again, it went back to color. Strange.So I tried playing a game. Everything was fine for 30 seconds, until it went to a green tint again. Touch the cable, back to washed out colors. Touch it again, back to a green tint. Wonderful. These are obviously the tell-tale signs of a poorly made electronic device.Enough of this, it's getting sent back to Amazon. I switched to using proper component cables and an HDMI upscaler - and I couldn't be happier. Your mileage may vary.

I bought this for my PSXs and did not have big expectations after having used similar products for PS2 and Wii, where at best, there was a noticeable lag that hampers many games. My first nice surprise was that the cables are all of very good quality, definitely not expected at this price range. You get good solid thick cables for both the HDMI cable and the USB cable used to power up the device.The adapter uses the RGB signals from the Multi-ouput port, the same points used for the S-Video cables that offer the best quality on these systems. The result is incredibly superior to the regular composite (the usual yellow RCA connector). I was completely shocked when I saw it working for the first time. For reference, just buying a second-hand S-Video cable for the PS1 will cost you at least $40, and of course you would need a S-Video capable TV too.I wanted to try this on a SCPH-1001 (the first revision that came out in the US) that had some video issues using the regular composite, where the letters appear like doubled with an horizontal offset. This makes reading text even more terrible that it already is in these consoles when using the standard connector. Apparently, this effect is introduced due to a signal stronger than necessary. I have got yet to replace the capacitors on this unit to see if this issue is resolved. But to my surprise, the image through the adapter was very sharp and precise, perfect. Not a single trace of this problem, I guess this is because it uses RGB signal that provides so much better quality over the composite.My next test was to check if there was any lag introduced by the adapter, as some other reviewers mention. If there is any lag, I was not able to notice it. I have got to say that I mostly play Tomb Raider games, but also loaded Ms Pac-Man and the movements seem to occur in a very precise manner. Your mileage may vary with other type of games.I am sure that other devices like the Retrotink 5X pro will produce a better image with no lag, but they are also $300, plus you need to procure a PSX RGB cable (probably the S-Video cable + an adapter). For a tenth of the cost you get an all-in-one very convenient solution, a very capable adapter that is already a huge improve in image quality and also cleans the image from artifact and noise.I highly recommend this adapter. I don't write many reviews, but this product deserved it.There is definitely one con, the connector that goes in the PS1 is slightly bigger than it should, so you need to apply some force (and care!) to plug it in. I initially wanted to take off one star because of this, but I think overall the product is fantastic, so I am keeping the 5-stars review.
