About this deal

Beyond converting your analog signals into an HDMI digital output, your PS2 HDMI converter is also going to scale up your resolution to one degree or another. This is important, as older games on older consoles are going to look jagged and ugly on more modern TVs. A good HDMI adapter will take the PS2’s 480i (interlaced) or 480p (progressive) and output it in a higher, cleaner resolution. Interlaced scanning in particular can be ideal for recreating an “old-school” look for your console games. Compact Design: Consider the size and form factor of the converter. A compact design will be easier to fit in your gaming setup and take up less space.

Setting up and using this converter couldn’t be simpler, and you can even rely on the Tengchi RCA to HDMI Converter to work with a range of TV formats, including PAL. The HDMI converter itself is a brilliant product. I've managed to get my PS2 (somewhat) working on my monitor. It is very temperamental, however. Sometimes it outputs at 576p (which shows terrible picture quality output) and other times it outputs 1080i, as expected. TIP: For the best image quality from the upscaled source image, adjust your TV's sharpness preset to dial in the right level of image accuracy to suit your visual taste! All this introduces input lag. Which can be measured as the time between you pressing a button on your controller and the corresponding reaction from your in-game character on the TV screen. Modern 4K TVs also have built-in upscaling algorithms that will take the incoming 480p/ 480i signal and blow it up to fit a 4K resolution.However, what you may not know is that each individual image isn’t displayed at once. The TV’s image processor “scans” horizontal lines of pixels from top to bottom, it just looks instantaneous because the process happens so fast. Progressive scan displays every single line in each frame, in a sequential fashion from top to bottom. The converter’s mechanism is simple: one end of the converter plugs directly into the PS2, the other end of it has an output for an HDMI cable. You can use the cable to an available TV port.

If you’ve been gaming for a long time, you’ve probably built up a collection of old consoles. And along with these consoles, you’ll have some treasured old games. But modern HD and 4K TVs aren’t always ideal for playing lower-resolution games. Now, you might be thinking this is obvious. Of course old, low-res games aren’t going to look as sharp as the latest and greatest. That’s part of the charm!The LevelHike HDMI Cable automatically upscales your PlayStation’s video to 720p. This has a couple of advantages. First, it can help smooth out the edges on games with jagged graphics. Second, it makes the converter compatible with any modern HDTV. On the downside, if you prefer an older, more retro look, you may not like this feature. It all depends on what you want. Regardless, the colors will be true to the original without the need to mess around with your PlayStation’s settings. So you won’t have to worry about your classic games looking “off”. Each cable uses the original signal of your PS2 and upscales it, boosting it for newer and fancier displays while breathing old life into classic titles. They don’t, however, turn your games into super-doozy 4K versions of themselves. That’s impossible. Expect sharper colours and easier-to-view-graphics, but don’t expect a whole new game entirely! How Do I Buy The Best PS2 HDMI Cables? Improved Audio: Many PS2 to HDMI converters also come with audio ports, allowing you to connect external speakers or headphones for an improved and immersive audio experience. The Kaico OSSC is an enthusiast product, designed for retro gamers who are serious about spending money to get the best gaming experience on their old consoles. If you want a plug-and-play solution, this isn’t it. However, it is without a doubt the best PS2 HDMI adapter you can get.
