    Nice video. What I got from this was that while there are better options, ps2 to hdmi sure is very good bang for buck and a great option if you're on a budget. I don't really see myself playing that much on my old ps2 anymore (I use emulators mostly these days), so that's what I got to play around and have some fun. Mostly I want to see Gran Turismo 4 in 1080i for once hehe :D

    I found the PS2 TO HDMI adaptor fantastic to use on a PS3 if like me you have a damaged HDMI port, plug one of these in the multi AV and set to component 1080p and bingo!... back in action through HDMI. Trying to get a new replacement hdmi port for a fat ps3 isnt easy soldering one in is tricky so this little adaptor has been a perfect fix for me.

    Your video is informative. Thank you soooo much. Truly appreciate it! I am looking to play my PS2 and WII on an Oled TV and came across your video. Years ago I connected the PS2 to my 1080p TV using component cables but the results were horrible cause of the lack in anti-aliasing. Now am looking for one again, hopefully under 50 euros. One thing still surprises me is that my original Xbox looks really good with the composite cables on my 1080p TV.

    I just got a Level Hike adapter, using a 4K monitor, hooked it up, powered it via the PS2 USB port, changed the video settings to RGB. But, there are some moving, horizontal static lines that pass over the video consistently. I tried a basic PS2 to HDMI adapter that outputs 480 and that works fine. I know the monitor isn't the issue as I've used 720 resolution on other consoles like PS3.

    The "PS2 to HDMI" (on Amazon Germany branded as "Mcbazel PS2 to HDMI Converter") one is the best and cheapest solution imo. It outputs a signal that is comparable to a real proper RGB cable that you attach to your CRT, and those that ever used one of those know that's the best and clearest picture you can get on a CRT, too. You will notice a slight flicker though (interlace bob), however that is also present on a CRT with a real RGB cable. On top of that the "PS2 to HDMI" can output both 50Hz and 60Hz, as long as your monitor/TV can support 50Hz too you will get a smooth and not stuttery output. If your monitor can only output 60Hz, a 50Hz game will appear stuttery overall. (i.e. my old "2007" 1080p Monitor can do 50Hz no problem while using the 640p/i or 575i resolution, but my current 1440p 75Hz monitor only defaults to 60Hz but not lower while staying on 1440p) And the biggest plus are the accurate colours compared to other cheap solutions! The games look just as vibrant and colourful as it does on a CRT! One downside is: You cannot play 240p games aka PS1 with it but there is a workaround: If you play them on your PS2 and use "Free McBoot" you can enter the menu "GSM" and then press "X" to choose "640p 60Hz" or "576p 50Hz" for PS1 games (this also allows playing PAL games in 60Hz mode), you might want to adjust the X- and Y-axis though, on PAL games I've found +4 Y-Axist and -96 X-Axis to work well. Not everything will work perfectly (i.e. Star Ocean 2 intro FMVs and Main Menu) but other than small hiccups, this also lets you enjoy PS1 games with an amazing output quality on an HDMI monitor. --- Then I also have the "Kaico HDMI Adapter for Sony Playstation 1 & 2". Upside: Works natively on PS1 consoles as well as PS2 consoles with PS1 and PS2 games. You also get the choice to swap between "RGB" and "YPbPr". It also supports the most input resolutions of all models: 240p, 288p, 480i, 480p, 576i, 576p, 720p, 1080i. Downside: Horrendously expensive, about $40€. Output is ALWAYS 1080p 60Hz! Meaning 50Hz games that do not have a 60Hz selector ingame will always STUTTER visually. Colours are also washed out and have a pale/grey-ish tone to them. And because the output is 1080p, the entire picture will look blurred overall. The USB Charger slot can easily break. It is too deep in for the cable, which can cause the small slim stick to be pushed down and then break. Be very careful when you insert the USB cable, as the adapter it not servicable at all. It is an alright allrounder, especially if you want to play PS1 games but do not own a PS2 with Free McBoot. But if you do, skip this one and get the "PS2 to HDMI" one. --- Then there is also the "HDMI Adapter for P1/P2" (again branded "Mcbazel" on Amazon Germany) as it says on the package but on the adapter itself it says "HDMI ADAPTER FOR PS1/PS2". Upside: Cheap and works with PS1 and PS2. Has a 4/3 and 16/9 button. Has a swap between 720p and 640p output button. (640p will look slightly better) Downside: 60Hz output ONLY. 50Hz games will look stuttery. Video quality is horrendously bad. Like using the lowest quality cables to connect your real PS2 to an old CRT, but even there it would look nicer than this solution. Colours are washed out and dark. Absolutely skip this one.

    I opted for the OSSC after messing about with such cables for a while and never really finding any of them satisfactory - having said that, I play retro games a lot so it makes sense for me to invest that money, if however like many people, you are just dabbling in a bit of retro nostalgia I wouldn't recommend such an investment.

    99% of the PS2 library play at 480i. The best option for lag-free gaming on modern displays for the PS2 is the OSSC, or the cheaper Retrotink 2x Multiformat. None of these converters you have shown other than the OSSC handle 480i correctly.

    The PS2 does have the worst video output to manipulate to a digital signal , when comparing it to the rest of the consoles in that generation. There are some titles that can use a progressive signal which will come across better on a HDTV, and people out there do like a setup to utilise just the TV for their collective systems and not have the room for a crt , but I can agree a crt is of course great to use for the PS2.

    Now that I own both the PS2 TO HDMI and the LevelHike, I've sorted out a relatively good setup on the cheap. The PS2 TO HDMI is fantastic for playing PS2 games, but I'm really bad at figuring out GSM settings so I've pretty much stayed away from trying to force 480p and such as my screen always ends up a mess, no matter what values I enter on the x and y axis. Using Tekken 4 as a test - as it prompts Progressive Scan to start - the signal is so crisp and clear on Progressive. Even on basic 50/60hz modes, the image clarity is fantastic and much better than the LevelHike. Character models, versus screens and the like all pop with detail and fidelity that is just blurred away on the LevelHike. Plus, when played normally with no GSM fiddling, the resolution fits perfectly on my 4K monitor, with slim black bars on the top and bottom to prevent overscan while maintaining a solid 4:3 ratio. The only problem? PS1 games. Testing Tomb Raider and Silent Hill resulted in a horribly squished output that rendered the games unplayable. Also, Silent Hill suffered from the resolution switching black screen/signal drop, something which WILL get you killed and ruin the game. On an older TV, I could fix this through GSM, but that workaround doesn't work on my new monitor. The LevelHike is exclusively used for my PS1. As it can only do RGB, the LevelHike just cannot compare to the PS2 TO HDMI. It's an acceptable image, but it lacks any fidelity or detail, plus it locks you out of any progressive modes. The difference on Tekken 4 was night and day. For my PS1 however - it's perfect. It keeps everything in the correct resolution (despite slight overscan on the top and bottom of the image, but nothing that hurts any game I tested) and the quality is very good for an RGB output. Dithering is captured well and, when testing on a texture intensive game like WWF SmackDown! 2, everything looked great. Sadly, the Silent Hill resolution switching still messes this cable up, so I currently have no safe way of playing SH without drops (I have a PS3, but the game is glitched on there). So yes, in conclusion, I use the PS2 TO HDMI for my PS2 and the LevelHike for my PS1. Both adapter plays to the strengths of one console over another, so I've incorporated them into my setup accordingly!

    Can I suggest something that I think will improve your video? As was great overall but was kinda annoying to watch due to some Nick bits. You should write a script with what you’re going to say and re-record the bits that need redoing. There’s so many times where you say the wrong word or mumble way too much, just kinda irritating as doesn’t seem polished like a final version video should feel like.
