Kaico PS1 HDMI / PS2 AV Cable Compatible with Sony PlayStation & PS2 Models - Switch Between RGB & Component - PS1 & PS2 to HDMI Converter for 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!

I'm using this with an old fat model PlayStation2, and fair warning: This does VERY little in the way of upscaling. By that, I mean if you have a TV that does not support 240i video, this will not resolve your issue for playing PS1 games. It's simply spitting out the PS2's native RGB or Component signal in a crystal clear HDMI format. Granted, for PS2 games, this still looks WAY better than the stock composite cables that came with the system, and I'm even seeing improvement when compared to component, because there's no analog softening or interference. Even better, it preserves the 4:3 aspect ratio instead of stretching it to fill a 16:9 screen - perfect if your PS2 is sharing an HDMI splitter with anamorphic widescreen devices, or if your TV doesn't have aspect ratio adjustment. You will need USB power for this, but if you put the box behind the PS2, the USB cord is plenty long enough to reach the USB ports on the front of the console.

it works great! thanks! makes the graphics on my tv look great.

I have the PS2-only version of these cables. Like MOST Kaico products (Dreamcast and GameCube HDMI adapters), the PS2-only version is quality stuff and worth your money. Since I also play PS1 games in my PS2 from time to time, I thought I'd get these "updated" cables.The quality is shockingly bad. As in: colors bleed into one another and sharpness and image quality is on par with composite cables. In other words: bad.What a disappointment! After my positive experiences with the DC, GC, and PS2 adapters, I had high hopes for this set! HOPEFULLY this is not a new normal for Kaico and this was just a screw up on their part. I'd hate to have to tell others to avoid all Kaico products....

It works on my ps2 fat non molded. Also ps1 games work as well on ps2 with this cable adapter. Picture and colors are great. It does have a usb cable to plug in, but that can be put in the port at the front of the ps2. Video is gt2 (ps1 game) followed by gt3. Pic is ps1 game playing on ps3 with this cable. Also have the hdmi adapter for og xbox and dreamcast and happy.

Bought this cable hoping that it would get a better look than composite cables. While the image is less blurry, the image is very bright and I can't get it to change no matter what setting I change on the TV. Not sure if the adapters are all like this but I'd be careful buying this.

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.

I already own the Kaico PS2 HDMI adapter, but wanted to play my PS1 games also. The image quality between the two looks the same to me, and is fine if you just want to plug and play.As others have mentioned, the output defaults to 16:9 widescreen, stretching the image of (almost all) games that only support 4:3 format. Depending on your TV you can fix this by forcing your TV to display a 4:3 ratio in your TV settings.This PS1/PS2 adapter also plugs in easier into the PS2 compared to the Kaico PS2 HDMI adapter, because of the adapter having a cable.

Works great

Prodotto stupendo, ha fatto rinascere la mia ps1, in precedenza avevo un adattatore scart/hdmi, ma aveva una qualità pessima, il testo era sfocato e sgranato, con quest'adattore invece, le immagini e le scritte sono chiare e limpide. Consigliatissimo!!
