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’ve been searching for a high-quality, authentic upscaler for my PS1 and PS2, and this LevelHike cable is exactly what I needed. Most other adapters I’ve tried tend to mess with the picture or introduce frustrating latency, but this one is absolutely fit for purpose. Why this cable stands out: Faithful Audio & Video: The colour reproduction is spot-on and remains faithful to the original hardware. Unlike other adapters that can wash out colours or distort audio, the sound here is crisp and exactly as I remember it. True Image Passthrough: It does not try to artificially "smooth" the image during the upscale process. The output remains faithful to the original graphics, which is a must for any retro purist. Easy to Set Up: It is a total plug-and-play solution. I had it running in seconds, and it provides a rock-solid connection for both the PS1 and PS2—a level of versatility you don't always get at this price point. Zero Noticeable Lag: I’ve had absolutely no issues with latency. The controls feel responsive, making it great for fast-paced games where timing is everything. Final Verdict: This is a fantastic, budget-friendly solution for anyone looking to play classic PlayStation hardware on a modern TV without sacrificing the integrity of the original experience. I thoroughly recommend it!

I've only used it a couple of time on a PS1 which was my young daughters in the 90's. I inherited it from her when she got the newer models. I've a 48" TV too. Hooking the device to the console and the TV was simple enough; then came the initialisation of the console. It started straight away with no problem. What surprised me, was how clear and sharp the images were. There is not 'lag' when using the controllers at all. All the colours are exact like they were on the old TV sets which surprised me! So for the price, it was a bargain! Connections are straight forward, so no faffing about. It's just plug in and go, like the old times!

I've tried a few ways to make my PS2 compatible with modern TVs (I use a 4K). The cable has an even better fit at the back of the console than the original cable, which I always felt was abit flimsy and too loose a fitting. You can choose to display the picture in 4:3 or 16:9. I personally always choose the latter as I hate a picture that isn't full screen, and I don't feel it reduces picture quality. A big reason I prefer this cable is it can also support PS1 games on a PS2 console, which is very hard to find. So I can play all my PS1 and PS2 games on the same console which is awesome and less hassle. On previous cables i've tried it didn't fill the screen completely by an inch or two which did my head in. This completely Fills the screen. So this is compatible with PS1 and PS2 games, really good and firm connection in the back and really good picture quality on my 4K. It makes the console seem more up to date now and enjoy those games. What more could I ask for? Get this cable and no other, i've tried!

Have tried a number of these cables and had very mixed results. I bought this specifically for the PS1 as there are many cheaper alternatives which work just as well for the PS2 but for PS1, every option I have tried has lasted very little time before developing an issue or just stopping working altogether. The LevelHike cable worked first time with no issues, gives as crisp a picture as you can expect from a non-HDMI modded console and has no large dongle hanging immediately out the back which makes it much easier to hide the cables. All in all, I am very pleased with the cable. If the cost was closer to £30 than £50 I would recommend without a doubt. I managed to pick up whilst on offer at £35 and very happy with the purchase. Worth it if you don't mind the additional cost.

I initially bought the AV to HDMI converter as it was cheap. It worked, but writing was blurred and the picture was dark and fuzzy. This converter is a bit more money but well worth it. Crisp writing and no more dark unplayable areas. The games now appear as I recall on an old CRT Tv! 4.3 and 16.9 both work as intended. I have my PS2 connected to a ASUS 27” gaming monitor. Delivered within 3 days as well (UK Address)

I’m sure this is a quality product if you want to play games using discs on the PlayStation 1 or 2 but if you are using FreeMcboot and are playing games direct from a hardrive, this will not work correctly and you are better off just buying one of the PS2 to HDMI converters and using the YPbPr setting.

This is the only PS1/PS2 cable that will improve your picture! Don’t bother with any of the other cables out there, the cable does require its own power sauce (USB)

This converter has never worked correctly for me. The picture quality is terrible at times, it often has a green or yellow tint to it and the sound doesn't fully come through either. You have to spend ages wiggling the cable and removing/inserting it again, hoping you get lucky and finally get it to work as it should. Even if you get lucky enough to make the picture and sound clear, simply nudging the wire or box can lose it again immediately. It wasn't too bad at first so I simply tried to tolerate it, but it has gotten worse as time went on. It's only been used a total of maybe a dozen times over the course of a year or so and it's rapidly deteriorated with each use. I don't know if I just got unlucky and got a faulty product, but I do see other low star reviwers had the same problems as me, so perhaps not. When the item first arrived, it did appear to have already been opened as the seal was broken. I may have gotten an already returned product. I've never been able to get in touch with the seller, so I'm finally leaving my negative review here. I imported this item from the US, so return shipping there from where I live would be extremely expensive regardless and cost more than the item is even worth. Especially if I'm likely going to get another broken product as replacement. If the seller reaches out to me themselves to help me replace this item (hopefully without charging extortionate amounts for a return) I would consider changing my rating. But as it stands right now, I cannot recommend this item at all. Very disappointing.

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.

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。

Upscaling is good and sound quality does not breaks or static noise, only thing I noticed is the conector might be just a little bit bigger than the original cables so I had to apply some wiggling to push it in but it works fine. I used it for my original PsOne with an LGC1 model 65inch and it runs soooo smooth

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

Cable doesnt work. I email levelhike, who were initially very supportive and said they would ship a new one after i showed them pictures of the problem and my invoice. After seeing i am from belgium their customer support said they dont ship to belgium and i would just have to return the item via amazon. So i did, this week received the item back from amazon returns saying this item isnt part of their return policy. Levelhike also never responded again after being told this happened. Hopefully receiving refund.
