Review: A great product! - Might not be compatible with all Displays - no image or limited control. - I do not think there is a better solution available at the time of this writing - However, buyers should be aware not all HDMI input TVs are compatible. (But there is a pseudo workaround by purchasing an additional bit of hardware - ) I have used it so far with an Atari ST. Plan to use it with other vintage machines at a later date. With the ST it works well in displaying low and medium color resolutions. I have tested both a Atari RGB to SCART cable into the SCART input (V1) and a straight Atari RGB to VGA cable (V3). The SCART looks a bit cleaner than he VGA, but both look pretty good. I had to test several displays to find the best choice - Understand that some monitors might have no success in displaying any image due to total incompatibility or if a monitor can display an image - it might now work in all line multiplier modes. (The line multiplier modes allow a perceived sharper image). When the unit is first powered on it will output a test pattern - (which should work on all monitors FYI) - It is only when you select your input that you will determine if your monitor is compatible and at what level. I had a very large, slightly older high quality Plasma display that I hoped to use as my main display - but it was not compatible. But when I attached a VGA to HDMI upscaler and put it after the OSSC's HDMI out - to the upscaler's HDMI in - then upscaler's HDMI out - to my Plasma's HDMI input - I was then able to get a good image. Of course the upscaler added some noise but it definitely looks a bit cleaner than when used without the OSSC and you get the added benefits of the OSSC's different aspect ratio's etc. Link to upscaler - VCANDO SCART to HDMI Converter Video Audio Adapter Box with SCART/HD Switch, PAL/NTSC Video Scaler, 1080P/720P https://www.desertcart.com/dp/B01N06Q9WH?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_dt_b_product_details Can't wait to try it on some other systems! I recommend this product greatly and this Kaico edition is at a much more reasonable price then previously available!
Review: Handles Most Analog Resolutions - This little guy is fantastic but a little fiddly so get ready to tweak settings if you plan on converting late 80's VGA and even SVGA. I use this primarily to capture DOS era and even some late 90's games. So far it has delivered on presenting 320x240, 400p, 480p, 520p, 800x600, and 1024x768 resolutions. Because of broad standards these can sometimes be tricky to convert to digital, particularly 320x200. OSSC has delivered every time and even when it doesn't sync immediately I have been able to sync with tweaking sample rates with little effort. I strongly recommend reviewing the online guides for the settings, it will be very useful. The picture quality is generally very good, good enough that streaming a compressed video signal makes it near impossible to see the slightly softer image this can sometimes produce when you compare it to a monitor from that era. The lag/delay is non-existent meaning you can use this to play just about old game without using a splitter connecting the vintage hardware to a monitor. The audio sounds extremely good as well, it seems to have a high quality DAC so you will get an extremely good digital production of those old analog outputs from early PC's. This unit is priced a bit higher than most OSSC but Kaico also has higher production quality that you can expect where you can't be sure of the quality of OSSC near half the price.

## Features

- DO NOT PURCHASE THIS UNLESS YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT IT DOES AND HOW IT WORKS
- Revision v1.8 - Works with the updated firmware version 1.xx, which provides improved synchronization management and more stability, a new HDR mode, a 6x output mode with pixel repeat and shadow mask emulation/post-processing filter.
- Does not work with a Nintendo N64, a non-RGB modified Nintendo NES or an NTSC GameCube, as these are both S-Video and NOT RGB.
- Requires a suitable high quality RGB SCART cable to work. Only works with RGB inputs
- Works with all other RGB retro consoles from Spectrum, Amiga, SNES, GameCube (PAL), Saturn, Megadrive to PlayStation and more

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good but…
*by F***S on November 12, 2021*

TLDR - it’s expensive by comparison to others and comes with out of date software. Otherwise it’s good. I’m the grown son of the person of the account holder. The product does what it’s supposed to. It upscales with no/little lag. Night and day difference between connecting directly to my TV which has very noticeable lag. The two complaints I have is 1. Not sure if this one is a you get what you pay for type deal but this one is significantly more expensive than others here on Amazon but I have not had the over heating issues. Other advertise remedying that as well but I don’t know about them. 2. Please excuse me if I don’t recall all the details but the software that comes installed is not up to date. It’s two or three updates behind. Update the software, makes for huge quality of life changes. It is a pain to do so though and cannot be done on Mac.
