Does what the advertisement claims

Allowed me to keep using my laser disc player when I upgrade my surround processor. To a 4k preamp with HDMI inputs. Thanks for attention!

Pros
  • The price was affordable and the product is easy to use and the quality of the video was excellent.
Cons
  • Takes up too much space in a entertainment system

Needed this adapter to connect an old Laser Disc player which is an S-Video component to a new HDMI based Stereo and Television. Fast shipping.

Pros
  • Worked right away. Picture quality is fine as it's S video so cannot compare to hd.
Cons
  • Ineffective communication with other devices

Device converts signal to formats advertised

Converts HDMI cable port to RCA audio and S-video output, so I can connect fiber-optic TV box to VCR with S-video input port, but no HDMI input port

Pros
  • Used it to connect a old VSH and dvd player to a new tv
Cons
  • Requires additional equipment for optimal compatibility

Great value at this price.

This product is pretty straight forward. The only thing I would change is the addition of a power switch. I like to keep it off since it gets a little bit warm when in use.

Pros
  • 6.7 ounces
Cons
  • Frequently needs to be reset

Won't ever buy this product again

I wanted this product to hook up my Xbox to my smart TV. The one I was using fried in a power surge. It had an amazing picture on the TV. This product made the picture look like I was looking through something fuzzy and the color was way off. Very dissatisfied. Especially for the price I paid.

Pros
  • Blu-ray compatible
Cons
  • Limited availability in stores

SVideo to HDMI Converter

Straightforward 'installation' process that takes about a minute to hook up. I was underwhelmed by the picture quality when using this to watch DVDs with my brand new TV. As most of you have experienced, newer TVs don't always have proper ports to use directly with older home theaters. My home theater sound quality is still, in my opinion, among the best there is so I don't want to change it. I opted for this converter with high expectations. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. It waters the…

Pros
  • An excellent option for home theaters
Cons
  • Breaks down quickly with heavy usage

Better than the avermedia adapter!

Purchased to use with my avermedia live gamer hd capture card and old consoles.The composite input is cleaner than the avermedia composite to HDMI adapter, and the svideo setting is incredible. Avermedia doesn't have svideo to HDMI.I'll post screenshots at a later date.

Pros
  • Compatible with various gaming consoles
Cons
  • Does not support progressive scan or high definition video standards

Great but not perfect. Recommended.

I would give it five stars but there’s a visual defect on the right side of the screen. Not a deal breaker just a little annoying. Otherwise it works great, does what it needs to do, is easy to set up/use, is packaged nicely, and is a fair price I feel. I’d recommend it for anyone looking for an upgraded picture output compared to composite to hdmi upscaling. This is much cleaner and less blurry than those.

Pros
  • Plug and play easy
Cons
  • Generates excessive noise during operation

DOA - FIXED for my opinion

This item failed out of the box. (test pattern, an alternating low-resolution image from the computer, and snow are all that happened) I have requested a replacement item with hopes that the unit will function as advertised.UPDATE: 2 DEC - Received replacement item and was able to successfully make the display work. Still a bit fussy as I need to first disable my Mac Mini's display port and boot from the mini display port - I can then connect the display port device and I have non-mirrored…

Pros
  • No
Cons
  • Unable to handle high definition video

Arrived on time. Works very well as advertised.

Arrived on time. Easy plug in. Works very well. No degrading of the picture and sound. I connected an old video camera into a DVD recorder. Worked great.

Pros
  • After trying several different brands/ types of converters, finally got one that works as advertised.
Cons
  • Difficult to set up and operate

video quality - my new review

Item purchased to transfer hdmi signal to super video due to fact that my tv does not have hdmi inputs. I was able to connect my firestick using the adapter to the super video input on the set which gave me decent video signal, and prevented me from having to go out and purchase a new flat screen that does have hdmi inputs. The way to go if you have an older tv you would like to hold on to a little longer. JC

Pros
  • Worked well with PS4 with an older big screen TV of 60".
Cons
  • Not user-friendly

Roku on a projector works

HDMI from little roku box to RCA style inputs on projector works perfectly. You must use the power cord for this to work so don’t try to skip that part. We use this set up for family movie nights

Pros
  • Durable and long-lasting
Cons
  • Poor customer service

Saved me $500 or more for new TV

Tried the other HDMI converter but video quality wasn't good then I ordered this to my luck and it worked.Pros - good quality video and audio. easy setup, easily connect New devices to old TVs.Cons - requires external power supply.

Pros
  • Streamlines media viewing experiences
Cons
  • Has trouble outputting video in full screen

Works well - Requires power to work

It isn't shown in the selling pictures or written in the instructions but this needs to be powered for it to function. The cords to do this are supplied. I was surprised of this as I thought the HDMI signal didn't require this. Worked great and got the job done that I needed for my old camera that was not HDMI compatible.

Pros
  • Suitable for both personal and professional use
Cons
  • Inconvenient placement on entertainment unit

Better than buying a new tv to be compatible

I wish it came with instructions. I am not the best when it comes to setting up electronics when it gets past beginner level. But this did let me use a hdmi only blue ray player with an old projector style tv from circa 2003. It got the job done and wasn’t nearly as expensive as getting a new tv.

Pros
  • No need to replace old equipment
Cons
  • Limited documentation and support for set up

Perfect to connect HDMI to my "older " TV

I have an older 1080p Plasma TV, still works great, but was before HDMI. This worked like a charm to connect a device that only has HDMI.

Pros
  • High compatibility with a wide range of devices
Cons
  • Substandard build materials

I needed this since the TVs I have didn't have a way for me to connect an old camcorder to anything. It worked perfectly. It took me a minute to realize it needed to be plugged in to work but that was operator error on my part. Still giddy seeing baby videos and other memories. Now to convert them all and bring them into the current millennia!

Pros
  • SVideo to HDMI Adapter: Compatible with PS2, PS3, Nintendo 64, WII, WII U, SEGA Video Games and VHS, VCR, Old DVD Players.
Cons
  • Intrusive design

Great little converter!

This worked perfectly as soon as I plugged it in to our old plasma screen. Completely solved the incompatibility problem we were having. Highly recommend.

Pros
  • Increases the lifespan of older gear
Cons
  • Causes signal loss and frequent interruptions

I ordered the wrong item

I misread the item description, I was actually looking for an HDMI to composite video converter adapter. I've not hooked it up so I don't know how or if it works - -

Pros
  • Easy to install and use
Cons
  • Limited advanced settings
