Kaico PS2 to HDMI Adapter for PlayStation 2, Plug & Play HDMI Converter

If you're looking for a way to play your favorite Playstation 2 games on a modern TV, the Kaico Edition Playstation 2 PS2 HDMI Converter is an excellent option. This device is designed to convert the PS2's AV output to an HDMI signal, making it easy to connect your PS2 to a TV or monitor that only has an HDMI input. One of the key benefits of this converter is its ease of use. Simply plug it into your PS2, connect an HDMI cable to your TV, and you're good to go. The picture quality is excellent, with crisp and clear visuals that bring your games to life. In terms of build quality, the Kaico Edition converter feels solid and well-made. The device is compact and lightweight, making it easy to transport and store. The plug and play design means that there's no need for any complicated setup or software installation, making it an excellent option for those who aren't tech-savvy. One thing to keep in mind is that this converter only supports outputting at 720p, so if you have a TV or monitor that supports higher resolutions, you won't be able to take advantage of that. However, for the price, the picture quality is still excellent and more than sufficient for most users. Overall, if you're looking for an easy and affordable way to play your PS2 games on a modern TV, the Kaico Edition Playstation 2 PS2 HDMI Converter is definitely worth considering. It's a great option for anyone who wants to relive their childhood gaming memories without having to sacrifice picture quality.

Great value for money and would highly recommend.

I lost my original display cable and thought this would make a decent replacement, absolutely no regrets. Feels a tad cheap in its construction; uses mini USB, not USB-C as is the standard of today and is made of a cheaper feeling plastic, but it does fit securely into my PS2 (it's a phat model) and can run off of the PS2's frontside USB port. Upon seeing the headphone jacl on the unit I was a little worried it wouldn't output audio through HDMI, but it does so I think the headphone jack is just a nice extra. Most importantly though is the image quality and response time, which I'm happy to report are both fine. The image is sharp and features some form of upscaling; nice if you like that, but not toggleable as far as I'm aware. I don't notice any form of input delay, but any game that switches resolution on the fly will cause a few seconds of display cut out (you'll see black with no audio either) whenever said game switches resolution. This is most noticeable on loading screens; a good number of games switch to a lower resolution on loading screens, then switch back once gameplay continues. Not a deal breaker, but something to be aware of for more action heavy games. Also means you miss out on the pre-game PS2 logo animation and sound because the adapter can't switch fast enough :c For as cheap as it is though, I can forgive the very minor shortcomings and cutbacks

Tried other hdmi adapters in the past but the picture & sound quality were never great. No so with this adapter. Works great & picture quality is clear & sharp & sound is great to. Well worth buying!

I thought I was buying a plug and play connector. I'm not sure if it was our television but had to scan and download the instructions and took it from there. It was a little complicated and didn't work the first time around so had to unplug everything and start again. Luckily it worked second time. Not sure if we have to do this set up every time. Overall a good product but a little trickier to set up than I thought.

Received my order today, followed instructions to the letter. Mini-USB into USB port of PS2 (with no other appliance connected to the 2nd USB port), all connected up well, had switched the PS2 output mode to the Ybpr as required. Initially on the "home" screen worked great - looked clear and well-defined. Upon starting a game however, the signal cuts out and in, eventually leaving me with an entire pitch black screen. Tried this with several games, both PS and PS2, with varying degrees of success. I could barely see the iconic PS logo before a black screen on the PS games. With the PS2, I got to a menu prompting me to select English, after that complete pitch black screen. Saw in another review it's because the device can't handle resolution changes, meaning it cuts out sometimes. Defeats the entire purpose of a capture device, and in my case it's entirely unusable. Vastly disappointed and a serious waste of money.

Very good

The good: Packaged with instructions that are easy to follow. Works on both slim and original models. Mini usb to usb cable supplied. Inexpensive. The not so good: The mini usb cable very nearly gets in the way of the slim model's power cable. As others have said, you couldn't have stood it on its side. Image is noticeably darker.

Fonctionne bien, pourrait être un peu plus efficace

I've been trying different PS2 to HDMI converters through the years, ever since I brought my PS2 out of storage. The one I stuck with the longest was Levelhike. It had pretty good quality, especially for the price. I also just didn't want to break the bank with those high end converters (often costing over 100 dollars) so it was good enough for me. After about 2 years though, I got curious and wanted to see if I could find anything better. I decided to just keep trying out different HDMI converters in hopes that I could find better quality. I saw a video on YouTube talking about different HDMI converters and surprisingly no one mentioned Kaico. It was from a comment that I saw someone recommend it. I had bought and tried it for myself and they were completely right. Kaico's HDMI converter looked absolutely stunning compared to Levelhike. The colors were better, the on-screen text and textures looked sharper, and the image mostly filled the screen (just had 2 small black bars on the sides but you don't notice them). I have to say that I'm very surprised and impressed by the quality. I had tried another brand before this, ElectronPulse, and they had all sorts of demonstrations and reviews on their website of how "high tech" their HDMI converter was. I wasn't too impressed by it when I personally tried it out. It felt on par with Levelhike, and honestly, I kind of felt like it may have even been a step down in visual quality, but there were times where I couldn't clearly tell unless I took a side by side picture (which I didn't do but I wish I did). But anyway, I highly recommend you try out Kaico's HDMI converter. Its honestly really good. I tried it on both a Samsung and Sony TV and it worked on both. I had a weird issue where Levelhike wouldn't work on my Sony. It would be weirdly stretched out and if you looked closely, the image would have a staticky shaking effect. It was bizarre and even the company couldn't answer me as to why it wasn't compatible. But I'm happy to say that Kaico works great on my Sony. On a side note, I'd also recommend Zeskit Maya's 8k HDMI cables. They're 2.1 certified and one of the best on the market at an affordable price. They really help bring the most out of my consoles, especially the PS2. You won't regret it. Edit:just wanted to clarify with the black bars on the TV. For some reason, it's very small and barely noticeable on my Samsung tv that I use to play on in my living room. Whenever I choose to play on my Sony tv in my bedroom, the black bars are bigger and more noticeable, giving it almost like a 4:3 aspect ratio look. If you have anime or tv shows from the 90s/2000s on dvds, you know exactly what I mean because the picture back then wasnt made in wide screen like today. Its very weird that the aspect ratio is like this for my tvs. It actually was in wide screen for the first time I used Kaico on my Sony, but then it just automatically defaulted to the 4:3 look. Just wanted to put that out there that it might look different on different tv brands like it did for me.

S'adapte parfaitement à la PS2, image très bien par rapport à se que permet la PS2 , j'avais acheté un convertisseur av to hdmi mais l'image était très mauvaise, avec cette marque rien à voir, il ne faut pas s'attendre à du full HD évidemment mais tout de même a un très bon résultat. Je vous le recommande vivement pour faire revivre vos anciens jeux sur les nouvelles tv 4k

The item I bought it's not working please

Mit dem Adapter gibt es keine Probleme mehr die alte Konsole an moderne Fernseher zu nutzen. Ich habe den Adapter für einen Sony Bravia genutzt und die Farben sowie die Auflösung passen perfekt. Das Bild ist nicht verzerrt oder gestreckt. Es läuft auch alles sehr flüssig ohne Probleme. Der beste Adapter für die PS2.
