Kaico Original Xbox to HDMI Adapter– HD Link Cable for Original Xbox Console– Supports 480i/480p/720p/1080i– Dolby Digital 5.1 via Optical Port– Plug & Play Converter with Toslink Audio Support

Honestly went through a bunch of options trying to get this to work on my current HD TVs. This one worked perfectly with very minimal lag or loss of detail. Super impressed and love the functionality.

I wasn’t expecting Xbox 360 clarity, just an improvement over the component/composite cables. It definitely delivers that plus more! I have an older TV from 2011 so I dont how the output results would differ on a 4K model. I also hooked it up to my 1080p projector and the picture was clean. It’s light years better than using the composite cables, which makes the picture blurry, muddy and hard to keep your eyes on because of all the ghosting. $40 well spent, if you don’t want to pay $150-$400 for an upscaler the Kaico is 100% worth it. Not as sharp and smooth as the textures in emulation but it’s damn close.

*Please pardon my dusty AV Receiver as it is my old one I use in my garage.*This works exactly as intended but it took me half a day to get my av receiver to work correctly with it.I noticed some reviews said the 5.1 optical out did not work and only output sterk so this was one of the first things I checked. I hooked up the optical cable, assigned it to my correct slot on the receiver then turned it on. Sure enough, it was only stereo. This doesnt make sense because I know how the old HD Av pack works with the optical surround sound.It turns out 99% of av receivers have a hierarchy when it comes to their audio options ; HDMI>Optical>RCA.Even if you have the optical assigned to the correct slot it still wants to read the audio via HDMI which in this case is always stereo. I had to override this on my amp via the Digital Input button. Once I switched it to Optical *BOOM* I got my dolby digital.

The good:-Works perfectly in 480i mode-Working 480p (didn’t test higher res)-Very clean installation, just plug it in to the XBOX, no extra power cord needed-Is purely a converter and not an upscaler - your TV will do the scaling from 480i/p up to your panel resolution-No noticeable lag - Playing Halo feels normal. Far better than my TV’s composite processing-Audio: sounds great, stereo has right and left channels channels correct, not backwards. Haven’t tested the Optical output.The bad:-There is noticeable visual artifacting in 480p mode. See the attached picture - it manifests as thin faint grey diagonal lines that move while the screen is in use. They are hardly noticeable in some scenarios but are quite visible in dark scenes. It’s not horrible, and it’s still fun to play, but I’m taking a star off.My Framemeister gives better image quality, and also has a bunch of options for adjusting the signal, including scanlines for 480p, whereas this thing has no settings to adjust.Compared to a real external converter/ scaler setup, this dongle is much cheaper and uses less space and wires for setup, at the expense of a bit of video quality.

I loved that this product did NOT require any power connection; while it clearly says it does not improve the picture quality (and I know this should be the case) I originally had this hooked up directly into a component input on the TV itself but the input no longer worked so hence this adapter. In any case after hooking it up (easily done) even my wife said "that's a much better picture than before!!" She does not usually notice things like that in the "electronic world" but is correct on this one. I have installed my own home theater so I am no stranger to electronics & their quirks, problems, & overall quality. However like so many things your results may differ but I rate this product as excellent overall. Also FYI the seller seems to really care about his business & the quality of customer service that he/she provides. A great experience from start to finish!

Worked great. No hassle getting it set up, the image quality was crystal clear, and no flickering or weird artifacts while playing. Definitely worth the price to dust off the og xbox and play some old fave's.

It didn’t work at all. So I don’t know if it’s my system or the product itself so I don’t even know how to rate this .
