HDMI Cable for PlayStation 2 & PlayStation 1 Console (PS2 & PS1), PS1/PS2 to HDMI Adapter with True RGB Signal Output (100% Improved Video Quality), HD Converter with 4:3/16:9 Switch

Anyone that's played this game knows that this area is NOTORIOUSLY DARK if you aren't playing on a cube TV. I tried other converters but the dark parts of the game were still just too darn dark, with other converters, it's almost impossible to see where you're going in this part of the game, but as you can see from the picture it's a night and day difference. I just got it today so I can't speak to how long this device will work for, but I'm more than thrilled with this annoying darkness issue finally being resolved so I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to fix the issue of the darks being too dark.

Had a small issue of some blacked out areas and no audio with PS1 games. Emailed tech support and had a new device sent to me with as few days. 2nd one working beautifully. Great device to keep this system running. Clean graphics

Had to shift some settings to fix the green color, but it worked great after that.

The media could not be loaded. I bought this hdmi converter to use on my Sony TV since it's in my bedroom. It unfortunately looked weird (as seen on the images how the left is stretched over to the right). The image is also unstable (constantly shaking left and right) as well as the controller feeling slightly delayed at times. I could never figure out the fix, or why it was like this, so I gave up. I emailed levelhike too, and they were very friendly about it, but they also haven't gotten back to me with a definitive answer as to why it doesn't work properly for my Sony TV. I've seen another review on Amazon (as well as a few comments on youtube) that this hdmi also didn't work properly for their Sony TVs and it's just strange and frustrating. Anyway, I have a Samsung TV in the living room so I decided I might as well try it out there. Turns out it worked perfectly fine on that TV. Absolutely no issues with the image, and the controller feels more responsive. I feel like it even looked sharper/more clear too. For some reason, it looked a little off and blurry on my Sony but again I don't know why. Maybe the other brand, Hyperkin, might work better with Sony TVs but I don't know as I have yet to try it out. I gave this 4 stars because of how great it was to finally play my PS2 again after many years in storage. I really want to give it 5 stars, but since it doesn't work on my Sony TV, and since levelhike hasn't emailed me back with an answer to my question (I asked if they thought it was Sony themselves that lacked support for these types of cables) then I just have to give it 4 stars. I'll try to update my review if they ever get back to me about what they think as it seems like an ongoing issue. But I will say that I actually bought their other hdmi converter for Gamecube, and it surprisingly worked pretty good on my Sony TV. The image quality was a little worse than PS2 (to be expected) but I had no issues at all with that one.Edit: I tried the other brand, Hyperkin, but it unfortunately had the exact same issues. I will say that maybe Hyperkin looked slightly sharper with the image compared to Levelhike, but the only drawback is that you can't use your own Hdmi to plug into, it already comes with one and it's a medium size in case anyone wanted to get one.

Over the years when it comes to Playstations I've used about every kind of cable you can imagine. I've used composite (blurry), S-Video (screendoor effect), component (EMI rolling bars), and most recently, HMDI converters. The first two HDMI cables I tried from other companies were terrible, and pretty good respectively. But I noticed the last one had a double image and and blurred text really badly on one side, so I thought I would give this cable a shot and see if it could improve the picture.Wow!!!Apparently some people don't like an upscaled RGB signal and to those I can only say...go back to buying component cables and get yourself one of those line-doublers that cost hundreds of dollars, I'm sure you will be very happy together. As for everyone else...I personally like my picture on the "soft" side. For me the mortal sin of video signal is "over-sharpened". What other people like to call "sharp" S-Video and Component looks to me like a screen door and a pixelated mess. Yes, to be clear, raw 480p signal from a Dreamcast or a PS2 is about the ugliest thing I have ever seen on an HD display. I MUCH prefer to see a 240p or 480i signal upscaled and made as clear and SMOOTH as possible. And smooth it is.As others have pointed out, the cables from this vendor that upscale strike a nice compromise when the signal is RGB. The signal is sharp, but not TOO sharp. It's smooth, but not blurry. It's a perfect compromise down the middle, and in my book, that's as good as it gets.RGBThe last cable I used was composite to HDMI and the difference is striking when it comes to colors. The colors with this cable using RGB are much brighter and the color saturation is much better. Playing Gran Turismo 3 which previously looked like mud, now is clear enough to see what's on the screen, and I think I can safely say it looks about as good as it possibly can. There's no distortion, no blurring on the one side like the last cable. There's a switch for aspect ratio and in 16:9 the picture COMPLETELY fills my screen. No black bars on the sides like composite and composite converted to HDMI. Perfect.I was actually torn about which of my game consoles to get these cables for first. I have a Genesis with it's blurry composite, an N64 with it's dim blurry composite-to-HDMI that keeps dropping signal, a Saturn with it's bright but slightly blurry composite, and two PS2 (one North America, one Japanese). The one I play the most that has the worst picture (by far) has been the PS2.The Playstation 2 picture is simply garbage overall compared to the Xbox (which outputs 1080p signal that upscales beautifully for HDMI cables). Most of the games have horrible aliasing, jaggies, and in composite signal looks horribly dim and washed out. Unlike the Dreamcast the picture of PS2 just isn't clear and bright, and there only so much you can do with it. That said...The best you can do for PS2 games is either play the conversions on PS3/PS4 or play the games on PS2 with a cable like this. Both options will upscale and output smooth, clear picture (well, as clear as it gets). The most noticeable thing with this cable is that text is really, really readable, and the colors are the most vibrant I have seen for PS2.Again, if you like that pixelated over-sharpened look, look elsewhere. Get component cables and one of those fancy over-priced line doubles and go to town. But if you want clear, SMOOTH picture, THIS is the cable you want.

This is the third HDMI adapter I tried for the PS1, and the only one that's specifically designed for the PS1 (custom plug type) and there is no contest. The video is clearer, the audio is clearer and in better sync. I can actually play games with this adapter, the other two generic HDMI adapters were laggy, low res, and hard to see.
