Review: No upscaling but nice, crisp output - This is the 3rd of these Kaico HDMI adapters I've bought. I also have the Dreamcast and OG Xbox versions. They all work really well and are of good sound construction for the price and are a convenient way to output your old consoles on modern TVs. Each of the Kaico adapters works slightly differently and offers different output signal options. I find this reassuring as it's obvious thatthey have spent the time to find the best possible way of outputting/converting the video signal from each console they make a cable for (rather than just repackaging the same low quality HDMI converter for each console as other brands do) One thing to note is that this cable does not upscale the image of your PS2. It mearly lets you choose from the already available output options and converts that to a clean HDMI output. So with the PS2 you are limited to RGB/Component (480p / 576i). I leave mine on component setting and it seems to work fine. The picture is in no way 'HD' by today's standards, but it's much cleaner and crisper than my previous method which was a RGB SCART cable and a billion times better than the standard 'red white yellow' composite AV cables that came supplied with most PS2s. You'll probably notice some fuzziness to text etc and cut scenes will generally be of low video quality anyway, but importantly actual game graphics are pretty damn good. Not quite to standard of my now sadly dead backwards compatible fat PS3, but good enough. (It should be noted that I keep a 720p screen to play my older consoles on, so it's possible it may not look as pretty on a 1080p or 4k screen.) *Edit* A downfall I have found is that, you can't play PS1 games on your PS2 through this cable. I guess without upscaling the output is just too 'none standard' for HDMI? Who knows. Luckily I have a PS3 Slim which does play PS1 games, bit worth noting if you have original Playstation games you wanted to dust off and play on your PS2. Review: Love it and thoroughly thrilled with my purchase - Got this HDMI converter to specifically use to play my PS2 Slim with and straight away, it worked an absolute treat and was super easy to set up. The image quality is okay considering it is a 25 year old console and is a little pixelly in some places, but apart from that, it does do it’s job of bringing the PS2 back to life on my 4KHD TV! Couldn’t recommend this product enough if you are looking to get yourself a PS2 and build up a retro gaming collection like I am doing.

Look no further 😊 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Still good, but new revision is a downgrade. *by M***R on 18 February 2025* Does what it advertises, and the quality is good. But I've noticed that this doesn't auto switch between interlaced and progressive mode. It just stays on 1080p. And I had the older one three years ago, and I have to say, I feel that it was better. Whatever was used back then made the interlaced picture a lot better, as it properly used 576i for my PAL PlayStation 2 and the games, as well as 480i 60hz for PAL60 games, and 480p for progressive scan. This just outputs 1080p across the board for the two component modes, and I feel that this newer revision is a downgrade. The interlacing is far more noticeable than before, and although it doesn't make the games unplayable, it's rather annoying. And for a very niche use case, DVD movies are LITERALLY unwatchable with this. The older HDMI adapter could do this easily. And one more thing, the brightness and contrast is way off, and that's not my game settings or my TV. This new revision has messed with the brightness and contrast settings that we cannot readjust. Please address this as soon as possible. I would have rated it 5/5 if it was the same model, but alas, it is not. Shame. Still a decent no-nonsense adapter. ## Frequently Bought Together - Kaico PS1 HDMI / PS2 AV Cable Compatible with Sony PlayStation & PS2 Models - Switch Between RGB & Component - PS1 & PS2 to HDMI Converter for Any HD TV - Kaico Free McBoot 8MB PS2 Memory Card – FMCB 1.966 for PS2 Console – Free McBoot PS2 Plug & Play – Memory Card PS2 Softmod Solution - ORICO 2.5 SSD SATA to 3.5 Hard Drive Adapter Internal Drive Bay Converter Mounting Bracket Caddy Tray for 7 / 9.5 / 12.5mm 2.5 inch HDD / SSD with SATA III Interface(1125SS) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/180295435-kaico-ps1-and-ps2-hdmi-adapter-for-playstation-1-2](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/180295435-kaico-ps1-and-ps2-hdmi-adapter-for-playstation-1-2) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-09-04*
