Portta Component to HDMI Converter, YPbPr RGB + R/L Audio to HDMI v1.3 Converter Adapter Support 1080P 2 Channel LPCM for HDTV PS2 PS3 HDVD Player Wii Xbox

By far the best solution to play old PlayStation 2 games on a modern 4K TV without breaking the bank. Unfortunately, my TV doesn’t have component output so I had to get this converter and I was skeptical because it was so cheap on the other hand I can’t afford the really expensive Retrotink upscaler device. The colors are magnificent. It brings so much life and saturation to PS2 that you can never get on a normal AV cable or an HDMI converter adapter once you experience component. My component cables are from my PlayStation 3 and are very good quality and I highly recommend anyone out there to get the same thing or the Retrovision component cables to go with this converter. I have not had any issues so far with this converter and I highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a quality inexpensive way to play PS2 games on a modern 4K TV without breaking the bank!

It works well. I have a Wii and a 60’ TV. with no component in. I tried connecting it via composite but the quality was bad. Once I used this adapter I got much better quality out of my Wii. Definitely exactly what I needed. No lag, accurate colors, and the Wii finally looks good on a modern tv. Much better than the wii2hdmi devices.

Have had for over a month now, it really works good. Maybe some small details on the video aren’t perfect but picture is there fully and colors aren’t way off. Plugged it in and hooked up the Wii and it worked right away. No hassles.

So, my old "tube" TV finally croaked, and all I have now are the new televisions, HD and flat screen and running internet and all that fancy stuff, and suddenly my faithful PS2 was no longer playable! Worst picture ever, obviously, making the games useless, because old tech and new tech just don't get along.Oddly, I still love my PS2, despite having had a PS3 for many years. Considering now a PS4, but, really, game play is still best on the PS2, and it's very disappointing that newer games on newer systems have seemed to have totally lost what made games fun to play. NFSMW, for example, or even WRC or HalfLife or just so many of the old games had such "playable" value to them. The driving, the shooting, the way the worlds were constructed -- I don't know, it's like the newer games on newer systems, although looking far better, don't play as well as older games in terms of just being enjoyable for gaming, and especially for the repeat gaming factor. I've bought and played all of the "best" PS3 games, and none of them (except for GTA5) are as fun as old PS2 treasures.I really wish new game makers would play PS2 games and realize the fun of them. I mean, no NFS title has been worthy anything, at all, with overly structured and restrictive game play, poor driving feel, and none of what made NFSMW a fantastic game to play. How can they have such better technology now, but lose what made games great???Based on the amount of other people also searching for how to connect a PS2 to newer TV's, I know I'm certainly not alone in the love we all have for these older gaming systems -- so thank goodness for a product like this!A lot of internet searching finally led me to a double approach to get my PS2 looking as good as it could, and this was a combined approach, first switching to "component" cables instead of the composite ones that came with the PS2 (this means cables with five connections, instead of the old three, of just the L and R and Video) and then hooking those component cables to this box, which then puts out an HDMI signal, and an HDMI cord runs from this box, to my TV.So, component cables run from the PS2, to this box, and then this box connects to my TV via HDMI. Very simple. The old PS2 signal is upgraded by the component cables, and then further polished up a bit by the processing my TV does, of the HDMI signal coming into it. Make sure, of course, to switch the output settings on your PS2, changing them from "RGB" to the component setting (the only other setting that's there), otherwise none of this works.The component cable set up I used, bought here on Amazon, is this product:TNP PS3 Component AV Cable (6 Feet) Premium High Resolution HDTV Component RCA Audio Video Cable for Sony PlayStation 3 PS3 and PlayStation 2 PS2 Gaming Console [Playstation 3]The cable fits right into the PS2, then hooks to this fantastic device here, made by Portta, which is a brand I'd never heard of, but found reviews of it (mostly in other languages, but I was able to get the idea) online, on YT.The end result is that my PS2 signal is now awesome! It's still a PS2, of course, so it is limited to what it can do, but all of my games now play with ease, looking and sounding terrific on my "modern day" television.A perfect solution for a very important need! This box, plus the new cables, and let the games go on!Long live the PS2!!!!Highly recommend!!!

My intention was to put this between my new Sony BRAVIA XR TV which only has HDMI inputs and my old Pioneer AVR (VSX-56TXi) that does NOT have HDMI output. I am only using the component connections, the white and red connectors for stereo are not used. Connected to my Pioneer AVR are a Denon DVD-2900 DVD player, a Sony PS2 and a Nintendo Wii. Here is what happened:1. Wii -> Pioneer AVR -> Portta -> TV: Works like a charm. Image quality is as good as I've ever seen. A little bit of diagonal lines but goes a way momentarily.2. Sony PS2 -> Pioneer AVR -> Portta -> TV: Games works just fine. But DVD playback doesn't work. The TV just says no signal as soon as I play the DVD. I've tried connecting directly PS2 -> Portta -> TV and still experience the same problem.3. Denon DVD player -> Pioneer AVR -> Portta -> TV: Only the DVD player's setup menu shows on TV. When I start to play a DVD, the TV just says no signal.4. Pioneer AVR -> Portta -> TV: I am not able to bring up the AVR's setup menu on my TV at all.So all in all, I can only use it to play games which is still good. But the fact that I can't use it to watch my old DVDs and not able to configure my Pioneer AVR is a big disappointment.
