Portta Component to HDMI Converter, YPbPr RGB + R/L Audio to HDMI v1.3 Converter Adapter Support 1080P 2 Channel LPCM for HDTV PS2 PS3 HDVD Player Wii Xbox

By far the best solution to play old PlayStation 2 games on a modern 4K TV without breaking the bank. Unfortunately, my TV doesn’t have component output so I had to get this converter and I was skeptical because it was so cheap on the other hand I can’t afford the really expensive Retrotink upscaler device. The colors are magnificent. It brings so much life and saturation to PS2 that you can never get on a normal AV cable or an HDMI converter adapter once you experience component. My component cables are from my PlayStation 3 and are very good quality and I highly recommend anyone out there to get the same thing or the Retrovision component cables to go with this converter. I have not had any issues so far with this converter and I highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a quality inexpensive way to play PS2 games on a modern 4K TV without breaking the bank!

So, my old "tube" TV finally croaked, and all I have now are the new televisions, HD and flat screen and running internet and all that fancy stuff, and suddenly my faithful PS2 was no longer playable! Worst picture ever, obviously, making the games useless, because old tech and new tech just don't get along.Oddly, I still love my PS2, despite having had a PS3 for many years. Considering now a PS4, but, really, game play is still best on the PS2, and it's very disappointing that newer games on newer systems have seemed to have totally lost what made games fun to play. NFSMW, for example, or even WRC or HalfLife or just so many of the old games had such "playable" value to them. The driving, the shooting, the way the worlds were constructed -- I don't know, it's like the newer games on newer systems, although looking far better, don't play as well as older games in terms of just being enjoyable for gaming, and especially for the repeat gaming factor. I've bought and played all of the "best" PS3 games, and none of them (except for GTA5) are as fun as old PS2 treasures.I really wish new game makers would play PS2 games and realize the fun of them. I mean, no NFS title has been worthy anything, at all, with overly structured and restrictive game play, poor driving feel, and none of what made NFSMW a fantastic game to play. How can they have such better technology now, but lose what made games great???Based on the amount of other people also searching for how to connect a PS2 to newer TV's, I know I'm certainly not alone in the love we all have for these older gaming systems -- so thank goodness for a product like this!A lot of internet searching finally led me to a double approach to get my PS2 looking as good as it could, and this was a combined approach, first switching to "component" cables instead of the composite ones that came with the PS2 (this means cables with five connections, instead of the old three, of just the L and R and Video) and then hooking those component cables to this box, which then puts out an HDMI signal, and an HDMI cord runs from this box, to my TV.So, component cables run from the PS2, to this box, and then this box connects to my TV via HDMI. Very simple. The old PS2 signal is upgraded by the component cables, and then further polished up a bit by the processing my TV does, of the HDMI signal coming into it. Make sure, of course, to switch the output settings on your PS2, changing them from "RGB" to the component setting (the only other setting that's there), otherwise none of this works.The component cable set up I used, bought here on Amazon, is this product:TNP PS3 Component AV Cable (6 Feet) Premium High Resolution HDTV Component RCA Audio Video Cable for Sony PlayStation 3 PS3 and PlayStation 2 PS2 Gaming Console [Playstation 3]The cable fits right into the PS2, then hooks to this fantastic device here, made by Portta, which is a brand I'd never heard of, but found reviews of it (mostly in other languages, but I was able to get the idea) online, on YT.The end result is that my PS2 signal is now awesome! It's still a PS2, of course, so it is limited to what it can do, but all of my games now play with ease, looking and sounding terrific on my "modern day" television.A perfect solution for a very important need! This box, plus the new cables, and let the games go on!Long live the PS2!!!!Highly recommend!!!

Have had for over a month now, it really works good. Maybe some small details on the video aren’t perfect but picture is there fully and colors aren’t way off. Plugged it in and hooked up the Wii and it worked right away. No hassles.

This little gem does exactly what I wanted at a fantastic price! It duplicates my office PC's primary desktop onto a 40" Samsung LED HTDV that I can easily view, along with clients, that are visiting my office. However . . . I had almost given up on this device due to a setting associated with the video card on my PC. I want to share what I found with others in case they might run into the same or a similar issue.When I first connected the Porta Splitter between my one year old HP PC running Windows 7 Pro and my primary 27" HP LED monitor, my excitement turned to immediate disappointment when the first image to appear didn't fill the screen! There was a blank, black "picture frame" around all four sides of the content. Even worse, the text was visibly distorted. Not good! When I then connected the second Porta output to my 40" Samsung HDTV, that looked just fine.In an effort to get the display on the HP 27" monitor to fill the screen (a must!) I tried disconnected/reconnected everything; I swapped HDMI cables and I also power cycled everything and rebooted the PC. Nothing had any effect. I also tried playing with some of the HP's monitor settings, including an overscan option. That had some some effect but didn't cure the problem. I was so disappointed as thought I would have to return the Porta Splitter and try something else or give up on what I was trying to do.But then . . . I tried one more thing. I opened the control panel for the AMD Radeon graphics card in my PC and began to explore its settings for the my two monitors (the Porta device and a second monitor). The software was seeing the Porta device (reported as CP9287) rather than the HP monitor it was seeing before. No surprise.However, lo and behold, I found a "Scaling Options" slider setting for the Porta device that had been "magically" set to underscan that output by a percentage. Well that's not what I want! As I stepped the control back to 0%, two things happened: The display on the HP 27" monitor expanded, in steps, to fill the screen while the 40" Samsung HDTV image began to overscan, also in steps. It was then apparent that, even though both the HP monitor and the Samsung HDTV report a native resolution of 1920 x 1080, I apparently can only choose one of the two to fill its respective screen at any given time. The other screen will be either over-scanned or under-scanned.With this setting found, I can now do exactly what I want: Fill my primary HP 27" monitor with a full, undistorted display which is then duplicated (other than with a bit of overscan) on the Samsung 40" HDTV. That overscan is no issue for my intended use. Of course, should I choose to, at any time I could adjust the underscan/overscan so that my primary desktop would fully fill the Samsung HDTV screen. That might be what others would prefer to do.So, with that challenge overcome, the Porta Splitter is doing exactly what I want at an amazing price! I'm very pleased.September 2015 Followup:All was well until I upgraded my three year old PC from Windows 7 Pro to Windows 10 Pro. Windows "best fit" set of drivers for the combination of the video card in the PC, the Porta device and the two connected monitors created an issue. The primary desktop screen that I relied on that was connected through the Porta device was now "underscanning", while the 42" secondary HDTV was now filling the screen when it had been "overscanning" previously. This was the opposite of what I had and needed for my application. There were not setting changes that I could find to correct this. To resolve the issue, I had to replace the video card with a newer, more current card, that was still compatible with my three year old PC (only $34 from NewEgg). That resolved the issue and I'm back to being able to use the Porta splitter.
