Works great
I brought this is i could record and stream PS2 games and it work great....... but it has some interesting quirks.firstly image that its out puting is 720x480i and for a few games it's 720x576i for thos who are not tech savvy this is not HD and some Newer T.V's can't output an image that low and some can't out put interlace signals.secondly as it's an interlace pic and not progressive, there will be the some screen tearing on games with a lot of movement.thirdly and this is just for those who might want to record they games with a capture card for lets plays and what not but the picture quality will be good but will also be a bit pixelated, on the TV the picture is great, all smoothed out and looking really clear and shape.I don't know if its my capture card trying to upscale the image to 720p or if thats just how the ps2 outputs "HD" pictures, it didn't change much and was 100% playable.My verdict is if you are looking for a way to play your old PS2 but don't have an old TV with scart or component, this is the pefect way to play your old games and for the price, even if you unsure it wont break the bank.

Does Not Work Because Some TVs and Monitors do not support PS2 video formats
The product does not work. I was clinical about setting it up. Here was my process.No disc in the PS2, start it up with the composite video lead and selected the YPbPr/YCbCr output as per the instructions. Switched off the PS2, installed the HDMI converter, checked the setting was still YPbPr/YCbCr. Inserted disc, PS2 splash screen. Blank screen. There are no other options. My opinion is that this does not work with all PS2 machines which is why a lot of people are getting great results and others nothing at all.There is a DVD upgrade to the firmware floating around, which may well affect the video, but its too difficult for me to get into.Edit: 27/2/21If the PS2 is connected to the TV with a component video lead, I get "invalid format" on the TV. I now think the issue is new TVs can't handle the older HD formats that the PS2 produces. With the HDMI converter, there is no error message. So its a PS2/TV compatibility issue in my view, not an adapter issue.Edit 7/3/21New HD TVs don't always support the PS2 output formats. These formats vary between PS1 and PS2 games and if you using composite, component video (240p) or S-video connections. It's really too complicated...It's not the adapter - its the mismatch between the PS2 output and the HDTV being used. My PC monitors cant handle it either, as soon as a PS1 game fires up in the PS2, I get "invalid format", just the same as the tv.

It works nicely
Was running ps2 on component cables on a previous tv which looked decent but my replacement newer tv didn’t have component inputs so got this after seeing a YouTube video recommending it. I also have a scart to hdmi converter and the difference between the scart adapter and this is epic. Timesplitters 2 looks great through this. Timesplitters 3 not so much, don’t quite know why.. but imo this really does the job and I am seeing my ps2 games as I have never before, crisp image and good sound. Not experienced any drop outs after a good few hours use like many others have described. Reconmend and very cheap.

The USB power cable has to be used for this to work but it's a little difficult to connect
It works well in converting the PS2 to HDMI capabilities. I have this connected to my 4K TV. Two things of note:1) If you don't get a picture after connecting the box to the PS2 and TV via HDMI, you need to unplug it all and get the PS2 running on a TV with the original component lead (red/white/yellow) first - when you have a picture there you need to change the PS2 video setting from RGB to Y/Cb/Pb/Cr/Pr. The adapter should now work on any TV via the HDMI port.2) You have to use the provided USB power cable - plug this into one of the USB ports on the PS2 to get juice to the adapter. However, one problem is that it's a tight squeeze because the PS2's main power input port/cable is very close to the adapter power input port, making it a little difficult to fit.Other than these two points the adapter works perfectly for me, very good widescreen picture, looks the same as it does when using the component cable and I haven't noticed any discernible latency/lag. This product has brought my PS2 back to life (have just finished playing one game that I hadn't played in +10 years, haha).

Works like a charm (with some exceptions)
Bought it and after it arrived it worked flawlessly, minus my copy of ICO which it failed to put through HDMI. Maybe it's a problem with my disc or the console itself, because besides ICO, the converter has had no trouble besides the initial start up.

Doesn't work
Doesn't work, tried it on 3 different TVs with 3 different HDMI cables and 2 different PS2 consoles would not connect with the TVs

Works great
Works as it should, but if your PS2 was previously set to the RGB setting and your tv only had HDMI input you'll struggle to change the settings.
