New PS2 to HDMI Converter Adapter, Video Converter with 3.5mm Audio Output for HDTV HDMI Monitor, with USB Power Cable, Supports All PS2 Display Modes

This worked like a charm. I am so thankful to be able to play my PS2 again. I used an old USB charger (2.4) to connect with the HDMI converter, and everything was blurry. Once I connected one that was 5V, it all came together. While it is not clear as a bell, it is good enough for me to play. I did not want to reset my TV settings for a better picture. If I can do this, anyone can; I am not tech-savvy at all.

I read the reviews on this product beforehand and thankfully I did not have to change my display settings on my PS2 for the adapter to work. If you have problems with this yourself, I suggest using the original AV cables to change the display settings on the PS2 to “Component” and seeing if that does the trick, as others have suggested. As soon as I plugged the adapter in, powered it with the cord included by plugging it into the USB port on the console, and plugged a separate (not included) HDMI cord into it, it displayed on my TV! It looks much better than component cords do and makes recording with capture cards a breeze as well. Text is readable and games are no longer so dark I can’t see what’s happening on the screen. I tested playing a PS1 game (Symphony of the Night to be exact) and unfortunately it seems as though this adapter is not compatible with displaying PS1 games. While the original PlayStation logo appeared briefly on my screen, it went to a “NO SIGNAL” screen afterwards and does not display the game, nor does it output any sound. If you have AV cables for your console, keep them around in case you also want to play your old PS1 games. Otherwise, this was a really great investment and super affordable as well for what I received! I’m very happy and will be even happier to play my games as a resolution where I can actually see what’s on the screen.

I bought a used fat PS2. It came with component cables. I got a cheap component to HDMI converter at a box store, it worked but it looked terrible. After watching some reviews on this I decided to get this converter. Tokyo Xtreme Racer was basically unplayable, you couldn’t see the road in the darkness. Now it’s better than I remember it being back in the day. Easy install, just plug it in and go. Plug the usb into the front of the PS2 and the converter will power on when the console powers on. Make sure to have the settings correct in the main menu as other reviewers have mentioned or you’ll get a black screen. Sound is great, colors are true, up scaling is good. Other than running in an emulator this is the best picture I think you’ll get out of stock hardware without installing some sort of mod chip. It’s worth the low price, honestly.

Let's make this crystal clear. Even if the device *is installed and working properly,* you may not get satisfactory results. The problem may not be the device itself, and apparently, in most cases, you won't ever see a problem. But if you do, it's probably this: All this device does is to take your 480 lines of resolution signal out of your PS2, and send that same signal into your HDMI cable. It doesn't add to it, it doesn't alter it, it doesn't upscale it in any way. When it goes into your TV set, it is still a 480-line signal. The problem is that TV manufacturers, especially with some of their high-end recent models, especially 4K, are thinking "Anybody who is buying a current-year high-end 4K television set is not going to be hooking up a ten year old device with a 480i signal coming out of it; they upgraded to more cutting-edge devices long ago!" They figure there's no need for the TV to even be able to NOTICE a 480i signal because there will literally be zero demand. So they will instead focus on another feature, and leave it to their lower-end TV sets to deal with lower-end signals. Basically, their best TVs are the Mean Girls who won't acknowledge the PS2 from the wrong side of the tracks. The signal is getting to their HDMI-in port, but they are completely deaf to it, and always will be. I can confirm, as I got it straight from an LG rep that the 2020 and 2021 OLED TV models (series BX, CX, B1, and C1 cannot and will not under any circumstances receive the only signal this device can send to them. It can be working, and nothing will happen. Ever. It's not the converter--it's the way the TV is designed). The problem is that TV manufacturers don't tend to advertise what their products WON'T do, so it's not easy to spot if it's a "Mean Girl" TV in their descriptions. But the more recent and the higher-end the TV, the better the chances that there will be a problem. Don't give up hope just because your display is high-res, though. While I couldn't connect to my 2021 LG OLED TV, my computer monitor is about 4 years old, and has an LCD display. It is also a 4K screen with few legacy inputs. But! When I connected the PS2 to THIS screen using the exact same converter device set up in precisely the same way . . . it worked like an absolute charm. Not a single problem. The picture is clear, sound is sharp, everything is operating precisely as the people who have been cheering the thing have been saying it does. Bottom Line: If you suspect that you have the wrong kind of TV, try to double-check with the manufacturer's representative or customer support before you pick up this converter. Save yourself the trouble of finding out the hard way. But if your display is happy reading 480i, you shouldn't have a problem.

There are many options online that'll give you roughly the same results, unfortunately this one stopped working after a couple of months. Would definitely use sparingly if you purchase it.

I'm very happy with this converter. I bought one from a big box store and it worked but the picture quality from the big box store was very dark on the TV, even with adjusting the TV picture settings. I decided to tired this one out and it works great!! The sound is great and the picture quality is great and very bright!! I would have to say is that the only downside is that it plugs directly into the PS2. And the converter is decently long, so the converter adds on about another 4 to 5 inches to the length of your PS2. You would only need this converter if you are to play your PS2 on a newer TV.

Works 100% good

Justo lo que necesitaba.

My HDMI port on my PS3 stopped working, so I had to get something else for HD output. I tried looking for component cables, but most TVs these days like mine don’t have component ports. I did some hunting and found this “PS2 to HDMI Converter. This plugs into the back of the PS2 and PS3’s AV Multi Out port, so you can output HD resolution for the PS3. The only drawback is that it needs to be connected to its own separate power source, and the mini USB cable inside is very small, otherwise it’s a superb product! Definitely go for it! Edit: this adapter doesn’t support DVDs really well, at least for me. the image from the DVD appears stretched and not watchable. if you want to watch a DVD, use a regular composite or component AV Cable.
