I've been trying different PS2 to HDMI converters through the years, ever since I brought my PS2 out of storage. The one I stuck with the longest was Levelhike. It had pretty good quality, especially for the price. I also just didn't want to break the bank with those high end converters (often costing over 100 dollars) so it was good enough for me. After about 2 years though, I got curious and wanted to see if I could find anything better. I decided to just keep trying out different HDMI converters in hopes that I could find better quality. I saw a video on YouTube talking about different HDMI converters and surprisingly no one mentioned Kaico. It was from a comment that I saw someone recommend it. I had bought and tried it for myself and they were completely right. Kaico's HDMI converter looked absolutely stunning compared to Levelhike. The colors were better, the on-screen text and textures looked sharper, and the image mostly filled the screen (just had 2 small black bars on the sides but you don't notice them). I have to say that I'm very surprised and impressed by the quality. I had tried another brand before this, ElectronPulse, and they had all sorts of demonstrations and reviews on their website of how "high tech" their HDMI converter was. I wasn't too impressed by it when I personally tried it out. It felt on par with Levelhike, and honestly, I kind of felt like it may have even been a step down in visual quality, but there were times where I couldn't clearly tell unless I took a side by side picture (which I didn't do but I wish I did). But anyway, I highly recommend you try out Kaico's HDMI converter. Its honestly really good. I tried it on both a Samsung and Sony TV and it worked on both. I had a weird issue where Levelhike wouldn't work on my Sony. It would be weirdly stretched out and if you looked closely, the image would have a staticky shaking effect. It was bizarre and even the company couldn't answer me as to why it wasn't compatible. But I'm happy to say that Kaico works great on my Sony. On a side note, I'd also recommend Zeskit Maya's 8k HDMI cables. They're 2.1 certified and one of the best on the market at an affordable price. They really help bring the most out of my consoles, especially the PS2. You won't regret it. Edit:just wanted to clarify with the black bars on the TV. For some reason, it's very small and barely noticeable on my Samsung tv that I use to play on in my living room. Whenever I choose to play on my Sony tv in my bedroom, the black bars are bigger and more noticeable, giving it almost like a 4:3 aspect ratio look. If you have anime or tv shows from the 90s/2000s on dvds, you know exactly what I mean because the picture back then wasnt made in wide screen like today. Its very weird that the aspect ratio is like this for my tvs. It actually was in wide screen for the first time I used Kaico on my Sony, but then it just automatically defaulted to the 4:3 look. Just wanted to put that out there that it might look different on different tv brands like it did for me.

Works at both 480i and 480p. It's just a converter, not a scaler, so it will pass along the 720x480i or 720x480p signal to your TV through HDMI, image quality will then depend on how exactly your TV processes those resolutions. I don't have a way to measure lag from analog signals input, but it seems fine. Haven't tried any ultra fast twitch games like shmups, but Tony Hawk, Gran Turismo 3, and GTA San Andreas all played just fine and I'm fairly picky. Unit does require external power - I was able to plug the USB cable into my PS2 fat just fine, but my PS2 slim kept shutting down without warning when I tried to power it from the console itself. Problem stopped when I connected the power cable to an external USB brick, no problems since. Video quality is decent, and playable. Image quality/processing is about on par with my 2008 LCD (back when TVs still had component input jacks). It's a million times better than the cheap, video focused composite-only tuners that are built into cheap converter boxes and some modern TVs, but it's still not as crispy as a nice upscaler like an OSSC or an internal HDMI mod. Audio: Audio is good, and left and right channels are correct and not reversed (NOT the case for all HDMI adapters) A good low-hassle solution.

Not the most luxurious option for modern PS2 adaptors but it works as advertised and is worth the low price. Downsides are that its a little fragile and doesn't allow for the PS2 to be stood vertically due to the extra cable you need to connect. Other than that, I'd recommend it to casual players who just want a bearable resolution

So far so good. Really made the picture crisp as compared to the AV to hdmi convertor I was using. The PS2 being its own power source for the adapter was a very nice touch 👌🏻 Will update if problems arise

This product is garbage. Doesn't pick up signal so it doesn't connect to the tv. Installing is quick and easy so it's not that. There are no buttons on it so anyone should be able to set it up which is good but other than that there are no redeeming qualities

Recommended. It definitely made a difference. A whole lot clearer. Can’t go wrong at this price.

The item was exactly as described and works amazingly. And now my husband has access to his PS2 on our new tv that doesn't actually have the right connections.

And by that I mean that I was pulling my hair out because the last off brand adapter I had made every ps2 game unplayable because of how dark they were. I was soft locked in a mini dungeon in Neopets: The Darkest Faerie because I legitimately could not see where I was moving. That is, until this Kaico adapter saved my game! Highly reccomend, very smooth picture quality, color quality is perfect, and theres not jutter!

S'adapte parfaitement à la PS2, image très bien par rapport à se que permet la PS2 , j'avais acheté un convertisseur av to hdmi mais l'image était très mauvaise, avec cette marque rien à voir, il ne faut pas s'attendre à du full HD évidemment mais tout de même a un très bon résultat. Je vous le recommande vivement pour faire revivre vos anciens jeux sur les nouvelles tv 4k

Tried other hdmi adapters in the past but the picture & sound quality were never great. No so with this adapter. Works great & picture quality is clear & sharp & sound is great to. Well worth buying!

Funciona de maravilla, pero hay que hacer primero una modificación en el sistema de la PS2 y primero es necesario conectar el cable Scart.

The item I bought it's not working please

Mit dem Adapter gibt es keine Probleme mehr die alte Konsole an moderne Fernseher zu nutzen. Ich habe den Adapter für einen Sony Bravia genutzt und die Farben sowie die Auflösung passen perfekt. Das Bild ist nicht verzerrt oder gestreckt. Es läuft auch alles sehr flüssig ohne Probleme. Der beste Adapter für die PS2.
