Sponsored Ad - LEVELHIKE 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

I recently bought a new 2025 model Samsung Q8F 4k 120hz tv, and it does not have any composite/component inputs that I can see. I was planning originally to mod my ps2 slim with the hispeedido hdmi kit, (still may) however the more I researched into the ps2 hdmi conversion kits, the more confusing it got! Ultimately, you can spend a lot of money on a scaler or hdmi mod (retrotink/retrogem) but for someone that just wants a plug and play solution this cable is pretty awesome! The picture is surprisingly good, and theres no install needed, just plug it in! The colors are good for the most part, I have noticed some cut scenes/ into scenes here and there can have a bit too much green, red, or blue tint. For example I am playing grand turismo 3 currently and have noticed the green blue and red colors during the introduction scenes, but looks pretty great during game play. I believe my television has a built in AI upscaling feature that may be affecting the final results, and your results may vary from mine however my experience so far is overwhelmingly positive. Thank you levelhike for the handy cables!

I bought this for my PSXs and did not have big expectations after having used similar products for PS2 and Wii, where at best, there was a noticeable lag that hampers many games. My first nice surprise was that the cables are all of very good quality, definitely not expected at this price range. You get good solid thick cables for both the HDMI cable and the USB cable used to power up the device. The adapter uses the RGB signals from the Multi-ouput port, the same points used for the S-Video cables that offer the best quality on these systems. The result is incredibly superior to the regular composite (the usual yellow RCA connector). I was completely shocked when I saw it working for the first time. For reference, just buying a second-hand S-Video cable for the PS1 will cost you at least $40, and of course you would need a S-Video capable TV too. I wanted to try this on a SCPH-1001 (the first revision that came out in the US) that had some video issues using the regular composite, where the letters appear like doubled with an horizontal offset. This makes reading text even more terrible that it already is in these consoles when using the standard connector. Apparently, this effect is introduced due to a signal stronger than necessary. I have got yet to replace the capacitors on this unit to see if this issue is resolved. But to my surprise, the image through the adapter was very sharp and precise, perfect. Not a single trace of this problem, I guess this is because it uses RGB signal that provides so much better quality over the composite. My next test was to check if there was any lag introduced by the adapter, as some other reviewers mention. If there is any lag, I was not able to notice it. I have got to say that I mostly play Tomb Raider games, but also loaded Ms Pac-Man and the movements seem to occur in a very precise manner. Your mileage may vary with other type of games. I am sure that other devices like the Retrotink 5X pro will produce a better image with no lag, but they are also $300, plus you need to procure a PSX RGB cable (probably the S-Video cable + an adapter). For a tenth of the cost you get an all-in-one very convenient solution, a very capable adapter that is already a huge improve in image quality and also cleans the image from artifact and noise. I highly recommend this adapter. I don't write many reviews, but this product deserved it. There is definitely one con, the connector that goes in the PS1 is slightly bigger than it should, so you need to apply some force (and care!) to plug it in. I initially wanted to take off one star because of this, but I think overall the product is fantastic, so I am keeping the 5-stars review.

Works great to help connect my PS2 to a modern TV with HDMI inputs. Seems to transfer a good quality picture, or well, good quality for when ps2 was released.

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. Edit 2: just wanted to update that I've been trying other HDMI converters to see which work on my Sony TV. So far the only one that has properly worked is one called ElectronPulse. You can buy it through their website which I did so I'm not sure if its sold elsewhere. If you've been having the same issue as me, this might be the solution. I see that they're out of stock on their website as of now, so definitely keep a lookout if you want to try it. Edit 3: In my continued search to try more HDMI converters (to try and find the best), I watched a few videos online and someone had recommended Kaico's PS2 HDMI, which you can find on Amazon. I wasn't expecting much because I heard a lot more talk and praise for ElectronPulse (especially since its a higher price). But I was pleasantly surprised because the quality is so much better. I honestly gotta say that Kaico's PS2 HDMI is so far one of the best one's I've tried. The difference in quality was subtle yet powerful. Colors popped more, blurry textures or images looked more cleaned up, and text was sharper. A bonus is that it worked for both my Samsung and Sony TVs, so I imagine it would work for more brands. I highly recommend anyone to try that one out too. You won't regret it. As a plus, Zeskit Maya has certified 2.1 8k HDMI cables and those are the best ones I've tried compared to basic HDMI cables. I think you'll be satisfied with your PS2 if you also upgrade your HDMIs also. I'm just trying to find the absolute best quality for the PS2 (without breaking the bank like a lot of high end upscales cost) and so far I'd say Kaico's PS2 HDMI converter, Zeskit Maya's 8k HDMI cables, and a decent to good 4k tv is the best.

The first cable I received was defective; so I contacted Levelhike themselves as they have a 1 year warranty on this cable and they sent me a new one right away. The new cable works very well; I definitely can see a difference in quality compared to using the AV cable that came with my PS1. The colors are vibrant. It’s easy to hook up to your HDMI tv and you’re ready to play immediately. It seems Levelhike really stands behind their products and I highly recommend them.

この商品は映像や文字があまりクッキリしてないがノイズがきちんとおさえられている、あと音は低音がよく出て迫力があった、良くなかったところはしいていえば、もう少し輝度が高くてもよかった点で、これはモニターで調整すれば良いと思った。

Entrega o que propõe, único porém é que para quem deseja fazer upscaling para resoluções full HD o dispositivo não suporta.

Works very well for ps1 and ps2 games. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

La verdad tenia muchas dudas sobre este aparato, lo compre porque despues de varias reviews de otros productos este era el que mejores opiniones tenia, no solo aqui si no de internet ademas chatgpt me ayudo xD la verdad quede muy satisfecha, tanto mi play 1 como el play 2 se ven muy bien en mi tv4k de 55’’ solo hay q acomodar el color al gusto y con eso, cale todos mis juegos y todos se ven bien, puede que algun dia se descomponga el hdml pero se le pone uno de mejor calidad y con eso, no me quejo para nada de la imagen, para los años que tienen los juegos se ven excelentes en mi tv, a ver cuanto dura, por el momento lo recomiendo mucho
