Not the best at all in accessories and consumables

I have decided to use this with both Super Nintendo and N64 consoles. I get severely oversaturated colors and almost illegible text graphics. I've tried every setting; none of them mattered. It's so bad I don't even use it.

Pros
  • Excellent design
Cons
  • Volume

Wrong power adapter plugs

Wrong power adapter and international plugs are included with this product. International plugs are not suitable for power supply! Very frustrating. I see at least one other reviewer had this problem. The product is unusable because the power adapter is not working

Pros
  • Multiple competitors
Cons
  • Unbelievable price

Works well with older consoles I have but don't expect size for the price. I've tried it with NES, SNES, GameCube, N64, Genesis, PS1, PS2 and Original Xbox. The only console that didn't handle it was the N64. Some games on PlayStation consoles struggled, but overall they looked good. If you can't afford something like the Framemeister ($300), this is a good budget option. I tried this with a newer 55 inch Samsung 4K TV. After reading some other reviews I'm wondering if certain brands of HDTVs…

Pros
  • High support and durability ratings from testers
Cons
  • There are flaws

The best upscaler I've tried.

I've tried several $30 upscalers on Amazon and they've all been rubbish. The colors blended and the optics were just painful. Games look very crisp with this little gem. This is especially noticeable in games with sharp edges like Tetris. FYI: N64 games with 640x480 support like Turok3 now look amazing on my 65 inch TV. Add to that a quality hub and you can run all your retro consoles in good quality. Quality on a modern TV. I deducted a star because something is wrong with 720p and 1080p on my

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

Charger very poorly assembled

I've had very bad times with this unit. The charger is disassembled and for the past few days I have not been able to reassemble it. I tried calling Kanex but no answer. The customer service mailbox is full so I couldn't leave a message either. The 2 stars are solely for what I hope this device can do and what I hear it has done for some other customers. So far my experience has been terrible. I've been trying to find a 5v power adapter but can't find one in stock anywhere near me in LA and…

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Something different

Not suitable for games.

Starts on a worn leg. The power adapter that came with the product was wrong, I ordered another one and the same thing happened. I called support and after a few weeks of trying, they finally sent me the correct adapter. The products really do a decent job. If you only need it for watching videos from old VCRs, it does the job perfectly. But it has too much lag to play video games. I wanted to use this with my Nintendo 64, playing games (especially stuttery games) was unusable. Role playing can

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • Empty

Terrible compared to the PS1/PS2 pound HD link cable.

I tried to love this product but in return it did its best to make me not like it. While the build and materials appear to be good and befitting a roughly $100 product, the picture quality of my PS1 was terrible. And before I blame the console, I tested another alternative way to get the PS1 to output to HDMI: the PS1/PS2 pound HD Link cable. And with this setup it delivers a great 720p without looking like the mess KanexPro had. The LED on the front is also too bright and even dazzles. It's…

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Vulgarity

If you only need it to watch videos from old VCRs, it does the job just fine. But it has too much lag to play video games.

It would be great if it worked for N64 and Super Fami Com

I ordered this to replace a cheaper one that had a lot of lag from N64 and Super Fami Com to TV. First, the wrong power cord mounting adapters were supplied. I received a partial refund from Revain so I could purchase a separate 5V power supply. I plugged it in and it worked on PS1 and worked great. However, this did not work for N64 or SuperFami Com. I just get "NO SIGNAL" on the screen. I have used a composite of two consoles via Kanexpro but to no avail. I know composites worked by using…
