LEVELHIKE HDMI Cable for Sega Genesis Model 1/2 / 3, Sega CD, Sega CDX, Sega 32X, Sega Nomad, Original Sega Master System Console

Testé avec une master system (FR), une megadrive 2 (FR), une megadrive 1 modifiée (FR-JP / 50hz-60hz). Aucun signal. Ne marche pas. Édit:Testé avec une megadrive 2(FR): Marche très bien. Image stable mais artefacts tout en bas de l’écran (les même qu’en TV cathodique). Pas de problème de positionnement de l’image. J’imagine qu’il faut modifier la console en NTSC-60hz pour avoir une meilleure image.

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.

Funciona genial !! facilita mucho el trabajo de conexión de nuevos Smart TV a tu vieja consola retro de megadrive. Funciona de maravilla. Tiene varios modos 3:4 o 9:6 pero Si que lo recomiendo! Cómpralo!

Pleasantly suprised with how good this is works really well on my region unlocked Mega Drive. RGB signal is really clear gives so much a crisp picture especially on 60hz

This LevelHIKE HDMI adapter is exactly what I needed to bring my Sega Genesis Model 2 back to life on my 4K TV. Setup was plug-and-play simple: connect the DIN plug to the console, HDMI to the TV, and it powers via USB (I used the TV's port). The picture quality is sharp, clean, and vibrant—no more fuzzy RF or composite artifacts! Games like Sonic and Streets of Rage look fantastic with minimal lag, and the audio is crisp. It worked flawlessly with my Model 2, and the included adapters mean it'll handle Model 1 or other variants too. Build quality feels solid, and the cable length is just right. For retro gaming fans wanting an affordable HDMI upgrade without expensive mods or upscalers, this is a game-changer. Highly recommend—breathe new life into your classic Sega setup!
