Kaico PS1 HDMI / PS2 AV Cable for All Sony PlayStation & PS2 Models – Built in Switch to Swap Between RGB or Component – PS1 & PS2 to HDMI Converter Allows Any PS to Connect to Any HD TV

I've tried all of them. I've tried component to HDMI adaptors, only to have them either not work or break after a week, and I've tried the PS2 to HDMI dongles, which ALWAYS have vertical lines. When seeing this product originally, I was very skeptical. The device had no reviews to go off of and also looks like it is newly listed (Because, I believe it is) However, I tried every other adaptor. Might as well give this one a go. I plugged it in, and was both thrown off and interested at the same time. I was getting teeny tiny vertical lines and a bit of signal distortion, which I hated, however, I looked closer. The more I looked, the more the problem disappeared! I believe this product has to warm up a bit before the signal becomes crystal clear. Within just a few minutes, the picture was perfect! I tried a GT4, which gave me 1080i with no issues, and I also tried Underworld: The Eternal War (A pal game). I expected the pal game to have issues, however, it worked with no issues at all! Absolutely perfect! All in all, I am superbly happy I purchased this product. This is the only solution that worked for me. As a final note, I wrote the company on their Facebook page asking for a bit of information on another product, and they responded within just a couple hours! Even on the weekend, when it says they are closed! The customer service is amazing for this company! Don't be scared off by the price or by the lack of reviews. This product is fantastic and well worth the money. I especially love the company and can not wait to see what other products they have in store. Hopefully a version of the Wii2HDMI that works? :D

Setup was easy and having the RGB/Component switch makes it easy to get a signal even if your video settings are not initially correct. PS2 video and HDMI connectors were very firm but felt good quality. After setup was complete, the picture quality was equal to component quality and sound was fine and passed through ARC for me just fine. Previously, I used a component to HDMI convert box but it was a pain to connect all those cables and my new TV does not have component cables. So, this cable is much easier to deal with and works well. I really do not have any complaints and hope it continues to work as it does now. If it does, I feel it deserves a very high recommendation. Some reviews complain about PS1 use but the device only advertised PS2 so I don't see how that is fair. Also, some review seem to think the picture should look better but I am familiar with PS2 component output and this appears to be the same quality which is all you can expect from a cable. This will not make the PS2 look hi-res and it will depend on the quality or your TVs scaler. But if you have a TV with a good scaler, your results should be good.

I wanted this because some PS2 games don’t scale well on newer televisions. This was easy to install, less than 5 minutes. I’ll be using Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas as my example. On the title screen before all the loading images is a bunch of fine print that is nearly illegible due to the scaling of the tv. It’s fuzzy and has blurred edges rendering it impossible to read. I plugged in this bad boy and I was able to read every word crystal clear! The only complaint I have is that whole the graphics are clearer and the edges are crisper, far away objects in games have a slightly over-crisped texture model to them now. I don’t know if they were always there and you couldn’t tell because the quality looked like crap, but other than this it looks really good! I can finally read the in game map icons now as well! It’s a cheap fix and works great. 9/10!

Plugging this in and running this as a component gave a good quality picture, though I did notice two problems, both minor. The first problem is that the picture does not fit the screen. My PS2 is displaying in 16:9, but does not fill the whole screen on my monitor with the same aspect ratio. It is not a huge problem as the resulting black borders are fairly small and the 480i output likely isn't losing any detail as a result. The second problem is that my device came with a Micro USB to USB cable, but the instructions do not reference it at all. It said simply to plug it into the PS2 and an HDMI cable, and these instructions did not display any image at all. It turns out, that Micro USB cable is a power supply; an easy fix is to plug it into the device and PS2 itself so you don't need a dedicated wall outlet for it.

Love this little device! I can play my PS2 collection on my smart TV! Digital Devil Saga, Dragon Quest 8 Final Fantasy 12, Persona 3 FES all look amazing! Just plug in and adjust the onscreen PS2 video settings; flip the switch on this unit and you are good 2 go! Some might argue that the picture is not super sharp like it could be doing XY & Z yada yada, but the picture looks good to me and I get my PS2 RPG nostalgia fix. Please note that this unit will only play PS2 games. THAT MEANS NO PS1 AND NO DVD MOVIES. Out of my game collection, La Pucelle Tactics will not play for some reason and it is brand new; the TV screen just goes blank. This is the ONLY games of mine that doesn't play. So happy I found this!

Right out of the box this thing worked surprisingly well. Both PS2 and PS1 games looked very sharp, almost identical to what you'd see on emulation and how the games were meant to look. However, the second day hit and this thing showed its true cheapness. It's total junk. Picture quality looks worse than when I just connected straight from my PS2 to the TV and it was very noticeable. Not the same picture quality from day 1. Also, this device gets really hot after just 10 mins of gameplay, which was noticeable on day 1. Not worth it. Maybe Kaicos other products fair better but this was a major flop.

Works really well. Easy set up but you need a spare HDMI cable.

This is the 3rd of these Kaico HDMI adapters I've bought. I also have the Dreamcast and OG Xbox versions. They all work really well and are of good sound construction for the price and are a convenient way to output your old consoles on modern TVs. Each of the Kaico adapters works slightly differently and offers different output signal options. I find this reassuring as it's obvious thatthey have spent the time to find the best possible way of outputting/converting the video signal from each console they make a cable for (rather than just repackaging the same low quality HDMI converter for each console as other brands do) One thing to note is that this cable does not upscale the image of your PS2. It mearly lets you choose from the already available output options and converts that to a clean HDMI output. So with the PS2 you are limited to RGB/Component (480p / 576i). I leave mine on component setting and it seems to work fine. The picture is in no way 'HD' by today's standards, but it's much cleaner and crisper than my previous method which was a RGB SCART cable and a billion times better than the standard 'red white yellow' composite AV cables that came supplied with most PS2s. You'll probably notice some fuzziness to text etc and cut scenes will generally be of low video quality anyway, but importantly actual game graphics are pretty damn good. Not quite to standard of my now sadly dead backwards compatible fat PS3, but good enough. (It should be noted that I keep a 720p screen to play my older consoles on, so it's possible it may not look as pretty on a 1080p or 4k screen.) *Edit* A downfall I have found is that, you can't play PS1 games on your PS2 through this cable. I guess without upscaling the output is just too 'none standard' for HDMI? Who knows. Luckily I have a PS3 Slim which does play PS1 games, bit worth noting if you have original Playstation games you wanted to dust off and play on your PS2.

Het beeld van deze adapter wordt opgerekt naar 16:9. De orginele schermverhouding van bijna alle ps1 en ps2-spellen is 4:3. Er is geen mogelijkheid om dit in te stellen. Het schakelen van composiet naar component verloopt soepel. Het beeld is relatief helder. Er zit wat vertraging in, wat vooral bij snelle spellen vervelend is. Het apparaat voelt stevig aan. Het wordt wel erg heet bij gebruik. Keurige afhandeling van retour.

Works great

Ten en cuenta que estos adaptadores son para TVs de la actualidad, si usted lo quiere (como yo) para un monitor debe de ver la ficha de especificaciones de su monitor para ver qué Kz corre de energía y si soporta resoluciones escaladas y no nativas ya que algunos juegos se encuentran en 481i y con escaneo pregresivo se hacen a 480p. Cómo sabemos no todos los juegos corren a 480p nativos, para eso es el escaneo progresivo pero los demás que no tengan está función no podrás ver imagen o distorcionada.
