Works as intended…much clearer than analog composite video
Works as designed with no issues. I used the power supply for my Firestick to power the adapter, as it does not come with one. I had used an XBOX to HDMI adapter from another manufacturer that did not have the external power option, and it was problematic. Not so with this one. Picture is clear, no blackouts, no loss of synch, no rainbows or wavy lines, etc. As such, I would recommend that you use the microUSB jack to give it a power boost, though I did not try it without. Some (if not all) games have a setting for brightness that you may wish to change, as they were originally designed for analog connections with analog TV’s and may be too bright or too dark otherwise so adjust accordingly; this is not a fault of the adapter. The cable came in the green and black box shown in the product description. The game picture is significantly clearer using HDMI with greater sharpness, color, and contrast. It’s easier to read smaller print in menus and title screens. The difference is similar to going from interlaced VHS to progressive scan DVD in the titles I’ve played. I originally played these games on a 27″ CRT analog TV in standard definition. Now I’m playing them on a 43″ LED digital UHD TV at 480p (maximum resolution on most games); the difference is well worth it to me. The included instructions explain how to set it up on an unmodded Original XBOX. This cable does work with a soft-modded XBOX, as that is what I am using. If using a soft-modded XBOX, you can enable the correct video settings in the soft-mod or load the Microsoft Dashboard and follow the included instructions. Easy to recommend this cable.

Excellent
Excellent product, such a dramatic improvement in image quality for my Xbox. As some have said, requires power, so sort that out. Well worth it.

READ THIS and ignore other reviews
Before I got this, I bought the Retrotink 2x pro multi format instead because I needed something to hook my xbox component cable in (it is microsoft official) since my new tv lacked the input. Looking back, buying the retrotink was a big mistake. It was 130 dollars, which is a lot more than 29.99 and the pound cable offered the same if anything better results. I bought the Retrotink because they were so heavily regarded for their vintage game console upscalers, but I should have bought this one first. The retrotink was great and made my games look just like how they did with my component cable, and there was no input lag, but the design felt extremely cheap, and everytime I tried taking the cables out, it felt like I was going to break the retrotink because they were stuck in there so tight. Also, there are a good deal of games that are 720p compatible, so I was limited to 480p with RT. With the pound cable, there was no input lag even with the hdmi cable it came with, the design felt a little more sturdy than the retrotink, I was able to enjoy my games in 720p, the ports felt secure yet didn’t eat my cables. Win win. I will say that the contrast is SLIGHTLY better on the retrotink, but that is a non issue. Turn up the contrast on your TV if you really want to. The pound cable does say that a power supply is not required, which is right because you can use it without but I highly recommend getting a micro usb cable with it. Without the power supply via micro usb, you can use it but you will get a weird waviness in the background. Other than that, no issues whatsoever and I’m glad there’s a simple fix to it. Look no further than the pound cable. I will be selling my overpriced retrojunk.

Great, for the average user!
The cable does what it needs to do, allow you to use your standard composite video cable, and link it to your tv by way of an HDMI connection. I am definitely no A/V connoisseur, so take this as a review from the “everyman” A lot of the reviews here are super nitpicky, and while valid if you’re an A/V person, for those of us who just want to play, I think this is the best bang for your buck adapter.My tv actually has a composite input still, so using that alone, my picture was really fuzzy, playable, but not pretty.Using the pound cable, my xbox allowed me to output 480p/720/1080i , flipped all those on.The handful of games I’ve played with the cable, look considerably better, no more fuzzy haze, things look sharp (as sharp as they should for a 20ish year old system) and it could be me, but i feel like I was exsperincing some input lag using the composite cable, which this appears to have solved.Yes, i do experience some minor screen artifacts, but even so, far better than before.Yes, the cable makes things dark, like real dark in some areas, fiddling with my tv brightness etc, and it’s not a dealbreaker. It WAS a dealbreaker when attempting to hook the system up to my computer monitor, a nicer, new-ish, samsung curved screen, blacks are so dark, even with all the monitor settings brighter, that I could not reasonably play.All in all, for the price, this is a pretty excellent solution. As I see it your options in this day are:-throw away your xbox-play with a fuzzy washed out picture-hunt down an old CRT that takes up a bunch of space-spend $$$ on monster cables, or a fancier unit like this chimera cable I hear good things about, but its over double the cost of this one.-spend a little on this cable, deal with some darkness and minor screen artifacts, and enjoy Jet Set Radio Future.

THE ONE! ✨
THIS POUND HD CONVERTER IS PERFECT! WORKS EXACTLY AS IT SHOULD.Don’t make the same mistake I did by trying to get a cheaper HD converter than this already great deal. When I did that the cable I got had a terrible interference. Waves in the screen,blur,and static. The Pound cable has non of those things and provides a crisp and clear image for Modern flat screen TV’s!

Works well on xbox v1.4, and very poorly on v1.2
I have 2 different xbox’s. When connected to the v1.4 the picture is very clear and works well. However when connected to a v1.2 xbox then the picture is grainy and flickers regularly making it unusable. It looks like this device works well on some xbox versions and not so well on others. The difference between the 2 xbox’s is the video encoder chip. The 1.2 uses Conexant where as the 1.4 uses Focus. Might be worth checking yours before purchase.

I got myself a nice little 1080p tv for playing 360 and I wanted to brake out the original Xbox I was looking for component cables but reviews of this looked great and it truly it I absolutely love this it works perfectly.That said it doesn’t upscale just puts the Xbox resolutions over hdmi and one review said some newer tvs don’t like 480 over hdmi but if you are planning on using a older tv it should be fine.

Alles bestens, Ich kaufe wieder!

Fonctionne parfaitement, mais important : si vous avez un écran noir ou l’image qui saute(soucis que j’ai eu),il vous faut en + du branchement hdmi , le brancher en micro usb(il y a une entrée sur l’adaptateur) et usb sur la tv , et la ça fonctionne sans problème.

Calidad excelente para Xbox, en ps2 como la nativa es diferente optarÃa por un upscaler tipo Ossc, pero este producto saca una calidad parecida como cuando en un Xbox One juegas a juegos soportados de XBOX.

Fantastic item for those wishing to do a bit of retro gaming but struggling to connect an Xbox to a modern TV.No issues experienced by myself.
