Review on πŸ”Œ HDMI to 3RCA Composite AV Converter for Roku: Compatible with Roku 2, 3, 4, Express, Ultra, and Streaming Stick (All Models) by Victor Garro

Revainrating 5 out of 5

FINALLY... A converter that works with the Roku Ultra 4600R!

For those like me who have bought/returned multiple adapters and converters only to find they don't work with the Roku Ultra...your search is over. I have a 1998 Toshiba 4:3 TV with a 480i signal. It's old but has a good picture and great sound quality. I dreaded the thought/expense of buying a new TV but thanks to Bladen I don't need it. After trying various converters/adapters that didn't work, I even spoke to a local home entertainment company who said there was nothing I could do. I specifically asked if they knew of any adapters or converters I could use on my old TV and they said no. So I kept looking for converters that work with the latest Roku Ultra and decided to give this lead a try. Your email communication is EXCELLENT with quick and detailed replies. This seller obviously takes pride in their company and their products because when the package arrived it had not ONE but TWO instructions. One was in the box and the other was a separate insert specifically for Roku devices. I followed this insert to the letter and it works great. What I like: 1. Simple, clear, step-by-step instructions2. Separate power supply that you plug into the wall.3. The only device I've bought that correctly converts Roku Ultra 720p/1080p to my TV's 480 pixels.4. 4:3 on my TV is almost full screen with a tiny black border around all 4 sides but I don't even notice it.5. The picture is a bit flattened, but it's quite adequate considering my TV is only 480.6. Unlike other converters I've tried. Roku menus, features, and channels are correctly centered on the TV screen. Things to see: 7. It does get a little warm, but with all my electronics I placed them on kitchen baking cooling racks (to allow air to circulate underneath) and turned on a small table fan. when they are activated. The fan faces the modem rack, Roku, this converter, providing cooling and cooling, so heat shouldn't be a problem.9. Longevity - hopefully this will last a while, we'll see!

Pros
  • If you are connecting an HDMI converter to an older TV with a 4:3 (square) aspect ratio, we recommend setting Roku to 4:3 in the settings menu. If you don't see the 4:3 setting on your Roku or Roku Streaming Stick, please contact us for instructions on how to change your Roku's settings (or see this Amazon listing for instructions).
Cons
  • Doubtful
