Thanks for asking me how everything worked out with the Amtake RCA to HDMI converter. To understand this you should be aware why this was required.Earlier in 2024 I and some friends booked some accommodation in Grasmere via Air B&B, planning to enjoy some of the activities that the Lake District has to offer, but also very much looking forward to playing the 90s classic video game ‘Sensible Soccer’ - one of the attendees has one of those ‘nostalgia’ consoles that you hook up to a TV.Shortly before the trip, dastardly Dave (the Air B&B owner) cancelled our booking. His excuse was a ‘double booking’.Thankfully a friend of one of the attendees was able to come through at short notice with alternative accommodation that his family owned.We checked and double checked with the attendee in question that there was a television in the replacement accommodation. On arrival we discovered:1. No television (not a surprise, par for the course for the attendee who assured us there would be a television - not a details guy)2. A ‘Walking with the Wounded’ rally in Grasmere. Which make explain dastardly Dave’s Air B&B cancellation - no doubt spied an opportunity to cancel and then re-let at a higher costTwo of the selfless attendees set out to Workington to procure a television - a weekend without Sensible Soccer is no weekend at all. On arrival at the electronics retailer in Workington, they discovered no television available to purchase had a RCA input.Meanwhile, home party that had stayed in Grasmere got chatting with the occupant of the cottage a couple of cottages along. A lovely person, lovely enough to lend the television in their cottage, as they had no Sensible Soccer based plans themselves. So television acquired, we had the console, but lo and behold - no RCA input.So I ordered this adapter on Bolo Prime on the Friday. Utterly incredible that you can order a RCA adapter on Bolo Prime on a Friday and it can be delivered on a Saturday.Alas, in my excitement I had selected ‘Use My Location’ for the delivery address. I was at least sufficiently alert to include delivery instructions to leave the item on the cottage doorstep, knowing we would be halfway up Helvellyn when the item was delivered - an admirable aspect of the English countryside, that I could be unconcerned about theft.Whilst on Helvellyn, I received the delivery notification, together with a few photo of the parcel leaning against a door. A brown door 😬. Not the white door of the cottage we staying inLooking closer, it became evident that the location Bolo had suggested when I selected ‘Use My Location’ was not my location at all. 3 of us hopped into my trusty Avensis and went off for a trundle around the other cottages in the locale (some interesting reversing down single track lanes after encountering literal and metaphorical dead ends)Lo and behold the adapter was retrieved! Hallelujah! The adapter was easy to install for all but the most obtuse of the group, and worked perfectly. Sensible Soccer was back on the menu! A great time was had by all (although more so those who stayed up to play until 4am than those who were trying to sleep at that ungodly hour)In summary - Amtake RCA to HDMI converter - totally worth the money, and the effort.

4.0 out of 5 stars Does What It Is Supposed To

S.T. · 25 March 2025

Product does the job. The picture quality is ok, and looks better on a monitor as opposed to a 4K TV. I bought this for use on an old Nintendo Wii, the USB at the back of the Wii will power the device, so no need for any extra plugs.It does what it says on the box.

5.0 out of 5 stars Was concerned about mixed reviews but works very well.

The reviews were mixed but for connecting an N64 and SNES (and I guess anything with an old RGB output) to the HDMI input of my samsung smart TV it works perfectly. Very easy to set up.Obviously the graphics aren't crystal clear on a 55" screen but remember when we played SNES games back in the day we were playing on 12" Tv's! These games were never meant to blown up to this size. It still looks great though.You do need to power the unit with the included wire.Happy with my purchase and enjoying playing Quake 2 again!

3.0 out of 5 stars Picture quality could do with some improvement but overall works and is okay

It works for it's intended use however it does make it grainy and the image doesn't stretch to the TV (doesn't bother me but if you're wanting normal quality and/or it to fit the TV this may not be the product you want :) )

5.0 out of 5 stars Laserdisc player working on OLED

5.0 out of 5 stars Ideal for Modern TV for the PS2

D.M. · 14 May 2025

I purchased this to connect my PS2 console to my HDMI Samsung TV (works on all modern HDMI TV's). Picture #1 is the kit. Connect your PS2 to mains power as you would normally and ensure your TV is all connected as well. With this kit, you connect the cable into the port. Connect the USB end into a head to suit your mains outlet (this does not come with the kit. You need to source one). This powers the small box. Connect then into the other two fces your PS2 console RED-YELLOW-WHITE ports. Put in the other face your HDMI to connect into the back of the TV. On the other face of the small box you have a small switch for 720 pixels or 1080 pixels. Honestly, little difference between the quality output on the TV but I keep mineon 1080 pixel. Other pictures shows then the game working (Scarface - The World is Yours example shown). Game runs smoothly, no problems, and PS2 cann be left on STANDBY. Box okay to be left connected to mains at all times. Does not overheat.Highly recommended!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great proactive customer service

I originally reported the below feedback:"Sadly this product did not work on my smart Tv suing this adapter, no decent picturecame through on the TV although at times the audio came through sporadically, no picture came thorugh at all. Am thoroughly disappointed as my kids wanted to see all their childhood footage I had taken with my Sony digi camera with them and their recently decceased Dad on our 49 inch Sony TV"Followinh my review, the Seller promptly contacted me with an apology by email and ways to resolve the issue. Was very impressed by their swift customer service and proactive communication. Well done!
