Review on πŸ”Œ StarTech.com Composite and S-Video to HDMI Converter with Audio - Ultimate Solution for Crystal Clear Video and Audio Conversion - Black - VID2HDCON by Chris Burks

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Better than other similar cheaper devices but picture color was poor

There are many other similar products much cheaper that convert RCA to HDMI. It seems to be one of the few that can output videos in 480p. It also doesn't crop the top and bottom of the image like other cheaper ones do. To do this you will need a cable with RCA audio jacks on one end and a 3.5mm jack on the other end. They're pretty cheap and work great. They also work both ways. So if the product description says audio is sent from a computer (3.5mm) to an RCA source, note that it can work the other way around as well. The only problem I had was that when I played a particular tape on my VCR, the unit kept losing signal. The color of the image also seemed lighter than it should have been, which I didn't like. In the end I decided to give it back and try something different.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Clarity
