Mcbazel PS2 to HDMI Converter, PS2 HDMI Adapter with 3.5mm Audio Output, Plug & Play PS 2 Converter for All PS 2 Models, High-Definition Video Output to HDTV Monitor

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 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.

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.

Original video cable finally gave out so brought this for 6 quid. Didn't hold my breath at that price and wasn't surprised when it didn't seem to work. Came here to write a 1 star review and noticed other buyers saying you had to change the out from rgb to the the other format (begins with c, I can't remember the name but there are only 2 options). Did that and though the picture is a bit smaller, image quality is better than my original cable. Actually made a flight game I was playing easier! Bargain for the price but needs better instructions as I almost binned it.

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.

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.

This product works, if your definition of works is displaying an image. I purchased this for my brother as his TV only has HDMI ports, and I knew latency might be an issue giving it is converting a signal, but boy it’s borderline unplayable. Sonic Heroes is already pretty janky control wise, but it was basically unplayable with this. San Andreas was more bearable but still very noticeable that the lag was there, I honestly don’t think I’ve ever struggled as much to get a character out of a house than I did today. If you’re using this for DVDs then I could see this being a great solution, for gaming though, not so much. Not too pleased with the products performance but it does display an image, so that’s something. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this. The picture might look better but I’d rather a slightly worse picture with minimal lag than something that makes a lot of games unplayable. Haven’t played any fighting games with this but I can imagine it’s not a fun experience! Either find a cheap CRT TV or at the very least find a flatscreen with composite or component ports! Thankfully my TV is one of the few modern flatscreens nowadays that has composite so I’ll stick with the default cables, but I can imagine my brother won’t have fun with this on games like WWE!

Works like a gem, quality of picture is really good, sound is also really good, very easy to install. Would deffo recommend!!
