Thanks! my sega genesis model 1 is alive !
There are various cables on the market for the original sega genesis game console, some expensive solutions and others inexpensive, but if you want to revive your old sega genesis console this levelhike cabale is a very good solution, if you keep your console, you you may be a casual gamer and don't have the same time as before, but you would still like to enjoy picture quality like you never saw on your old console now on modern televisions. The same applies if you are a young enthusiast who just got the console or if you are a collector and do not want to play in crt, whatever your situation this cable is good, everything is a matter of taste because if you have money and time you can just as well go for this option or spend on a mega sg or oscc, what you choose does not change the fact that for the price and quality this level hike cable is still a good option for many. There are similar cables from other brands in this price range but take into account the rumors and comments that they were overheating or that the connection was not accurate and could spoil the video output of the console and that is something that you do not want and the damage would be costly.Well in my case this cable has not given problems, the connection is precise, it has vents in the plastic box for better ventilation, the product comes complete with an hdmi adapter to console, usb cable for power, hdmi cable and adapter for sega genesis model 1 and model 2, well packaged, has a 4: 3 and 16: 9 format selector for different tastes, it is not a sin and the option is greatly appreciated, levelhike does the best it can to provide us with good attention and service, the Shipping is fast, so I recommend them, it is worth the cable, to taste the colors but this cable will give life to your sega genesis console with a quality image and sound without compromising your pocket so much, without a doubt you will enjoy your sega genesis with this cable. Thanks Levelhike!

Excellent, worth the cost!
I looked at a lot of different reviews and options for HDMI converter cables for the original Sega systems and I have to say this one checks all the wishlist boxes. I have uploaded pictures to clearly show the difference between the standard AV 480i cables and the 720P HDMI signal this converter produces. While I do not have a capture card, it's quite easy enough to tell the difference between the two, just by taking a picture using my mobile, of my HD television. I made sure to display my tv on-screen info to show the source output signal, but it's obvious the difference between the two. AV2 displays the composite signal, where HDMI4 displays this converters' signal. The improved clarity, text, and sharpness are phenomenal. And you lose the blurriness and color bleeding from the composite source.Happily, the sound being Output is also in Stereo, as it should be, and I can confirm that the left and right channels are accurate to the reproduction of the channels they're supposed to go to.I'm very impressed with the fact that you can change between 4x3 or 16x9 aspect ratio just by flipping a switch on the box. While I personally don't ever think I'll use the 16x9 stretch mode, as it changes the picture to stretch and fit to widescreen from how it was originally displayed... I like to know that at least it's there if I wanted to.While this converter comes with everything you need, including the quite generously provided HDMI cable, I also love the fact that you can choose to use your own HDMI cable with this box if you wanted to.I've also found that while it requires you to connect to a USB power source, in a pinch I found that the cable still works without the power source, however the sound becomes static-y. That being said, if you ever find the sound to become static-y... simply unplug and replug the USB power provider and the issue should be fixed. If it's still a problem, I recommend connecting to a different power source, simply because you might be getting electrical feedback noise from the device you're trying to use as power.I'm very impressed with LevelHike's warranty policy, and hope I never have to use it, as the cable I received seems to work very well, so far.I've been a die-hard Sega fan ever since the master system, and this cable has provided me the best way to connect my old systems to my new TVs. I was absolutely amazed at how great the picture looks compared to the composite cables. you might be able to find better quality converter boxes, but you aren't going to do it at this price. Unless you feel like dropping about $100 - $500+ on an all-in-one, multiple-input-source sophisticated converter box, there's nothing else to think about, just get this one.Update: I added new pictures that bear a green check that are using this HDMI converter. I added a red X for pics that are over original composite cables. I noticed the original pictures I first used didn't upload in the order I had planned them. It seemed random and I expect that again. Before you couldn't tell which picture represented what source. Now, it's visually easier, since I expect them, again, to be out of comparative order. Same review.

Pleasantly surprised by the image quality
Works great - I can tell no discernible difference between the output of this and the retrovision Ypbpr genesis cable. The video defaulted to widescreen, but I was able to switch it back to 4:3 in my tv settings.One callout is that it seems like this is designed with the expectation that it’s going to be used with a tv that applies HDR to the video. With the hdr off on my tv, I could definitely see some smudginess that wouldn’t have existed on a crt tv, but turning the hdr on made everything sharpen up and it’s frankly very impressive looking. I was seeing some elements of the sonic character in STH2 that I never noticed before on the crt tv.For $35 this should be more than acceptable for most people who just want to have fun with their old consoles. Yes, you COULD get a slightly better and true image by investing in the retrovision cables and something like a retrotink, but it’s maybe 6% better and costs 4x more.All in all this adapter performed much better than I anticipated and I’m quite happy with it - hopefully it lasts a while.
