POUND HD Link Cable for Playstation 2

Well worth the money, the image looks great whilst playing something like Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 or Medal of Honour. Great frame rate, well worth the money and the additional power supply is a great addition.

Excellent quality item. Does what it says on the tin. Didn’t need to faff around setting it up, just plugged it all in and it was ready to play both PS1 and PS2 games

My games did look much better with this cable but if you are in a pal reigon please be aware that the image on the screen will be too tall so a small section of the top and bottom of the screen will be cut off. This can be fixed in some games by running them at 60hz instead of 50hz

Perfect works with my elegato hd60s just what I needed streaming ps2 games on YouTube worth every penny and works with ps3 and elegato hd60s

Just perfect for getting the original ps one up and running and playing the old games would recommend this product.

Broken only used it 5 times peace of junk it literally fell apart. When I wasn't using it was stored in my game unit with my 2000+retro games' the 5 times it worked it did boost picture quality 720p. Mixed together with mclassic I got 1080p on ps1-ps2 it is a shame it is built with such poor quality

The best thing about this product is that it allows you to enjoy your PS1 and PS2 games on modern HDMI only displays. Also it is faily easy to set up and comes with a detachable HDMI cable. It also comes with a mini-USB to USB cable since it needs power from one of the console's USB ports or another power source. Also on the positive side is the very clean picture with good color reproduction although a bit dark and soft. I'll come back to that in a bit. Unfortunately the product has a few design flaws which may or may not be a deal breaker. The first limitation is the built in upconversion. The adapter upscales all games to 720p regardless of native resolution. This means that the image is stretched to 16:9 widescreen regardless of native aspect ration which may be a problem on certain displays that don't allow for aspect change to 4:3 when displaying 720p content. The second limitation is that the 720 upconvesion and rescaling is optimized for 240p and 480i games. This means that PAL only (576i) games are cropped and displayed slightly offset to the bottom right. The third limitation is support for progressive scan and higher resolutions. The PS2 could do progressive scan over RGB through sync on green, but in order to cut costs, this has not been implemented. This means that 480p, 720p and 1080i are not supported. The fourth limitation is RGB color space support. The product only supports the full RGB color space (0-255) which is optimized for PC monitors. TV's on the other hand are optimized for RGB limited coloir space (16-235) which means that one needs to set the correct RGB range or blacks will look crushed. In effect these limitations means that the picture will never look as good as progressive scan through component cables or RGB via an external converter/scaler such as the Framemeister or the OSSC. Should you buy this product? Well, it depends. You should only ever consider this product if your display (or AVR) lacks component inputs. I your set up does have component inputs you'are better off buying component cables. Assuming your set up is limited to HDMI inputs there're still situations where this product is not suitable. If your game collection primarily consists of 240p or 480i games and your displays allow you to swap back and forth between 16:9 and 4:3 ratio this product is an affordable way to play your games on a modern display. Just don't expect that it will magically convert your games to high definition. If you need support for progressive scan and/or own many PAL only games you're better off saving up for an OSSC or Framemeister.

Amazing does what it says.

I tested this little fella against another converter to HDMI I had purchased, the KanexPro - which costs close to $100 if you bought an AV cable like I did. This product by pound, at only $30, produced a FAR SUPERIOR image that the KanexPro. I tested an Original PS1 with Silent Hill 1 - even just the menus and the game intro sequence are good enough to give you an idea of what the game will look like. Though, really any PS1 game should work. My first impression of this PS1 to HDMI (as that's how I used it) was fantastic: very simple to setup, very few things to deal with when installing this product. Although it did not come with a power adapter, I had a 5v 2amp one lying around. Hook that to the micro-usb cable to the unit, and the unit to the back of your PS1's video out, and using the HDMI cable included I got a nice 720p image to my Vizio flat screen. No issues whatsoever. The upscaling is done surprisingly well for such a small device, no lines or weird artifacts from the conversion to HDMI are present, and the image in-game still looked nice and sharp. I didn't notice much lag at all, just the terrible control scheme of SH1. And, there was little to no cable clutter - the most I had to do is tuck the HDMI cable a bit. To test the KanexPro, I removed this device and replaced this simple setup with the AV component cable, the KanexPro, and the HDMI to the TV. It was worse from the getgo, the Playstation splashscreen when the console boots was already distorted and awful looking - like the KanexPro upscaled using interlacing, but didn't de-interlace the final output before going to the TV. It looked terrible at 720p in comparison to the Pound cable, and even worse at 1080p. I immediately removed that setup, and went back to the Pound HD Link cable (what I dubbed the PS1-2-HDMI). I really enjoy this product. As a new PS1 owner myself, I wanted to get it setup in the simplest way for the modern era of TVs and HDMI signals, and this was the right way to go about it. An easy recommendation from me to any PS1 owner. I cannot speak of it for the PS2 however, keep that in mind.

The pound HD Link is the perfect solution for ps2 if you want to play it on newer TV it's make the games look great even though the games is old

安価の他社と比較しても劣らなく寧ろとてもきれいに映ります！

si tienes un presupuesto bajo y no tienes para un ossc esto es lo mejor q le puedes poner a tu ps1 va muy pero muy bien en ps1 mejora la calidad y para mi eso es asombroso la verdad lo puedo ver en una televion actual y encima mejor

Does exactly what you need to play the PS2 via HDMI
