Insignia™ - HDMI to RCA Converter - Black

This does the job nicely, as long as it's actually what you want. If you're looking to connect newer, HDMI-based devices to an older TV, this is what you want. For example, this would let you connect a Nintendo Switch or a Roku to a bulky old TV from the 90s. If you're looking to connect older devices that use RCA cables to the HDMI port on your TV (such as an early DVD player, an older console like a Wii, or a VCR with RCA outputs), you want something like this: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/insignia-rca-to-hdmi-converter-black/6134312.p?skuId=6134312

I have an old 90s big screen tv with no HDMI capability. Ordered this online for curbside pickup and it was ready within the hour. Only waited about 3 minutes in the store parking lot. Took it home and installed in 2 minutes and now I can plug my phone or laptop into my hdmi adapter and plug that into this converter and instantly watch anything I can watch on my phone or streaming accounts on the tv! Just saved me hundreds on a new tv!!!! Excellent audio and video quality - really happy with this purchase.

Connected Firestick to old tv. Had for 3 years. Not working now but kids may have dropped it. Don't know if work with Google Chromecast

Works great! Super easy to use! Definitely recommend this product! Used it to watch some old VCR movies and it worked great!

Please be aware that this adapter is ONE-WAY to connect an HDMI OUTPUT (e.g. newer laptop) to an RCA INPUT (old-school TV). The nonprofit organization I work for has a pretty old-school big screen TV and doesn't have the funds to upgrade, so I purchased this converter to connect newer laptops. It connected instantly without any tinkering with the laptop's Display settings (using a MacBook Pro with USB-C to HDMI adapter). Please note that this adapter requires DC power – it comes with a short USB power cable with a two-prong plug adapter. I fear easy breakage because the adapter is so lightweight. We've only used it once so far, though, so we'll see!

This device only lasted ONE MONTH. It failed literally the exact day after the final return date. No wonder Best Buy doesn't allow returns on this after a month since that's the expiration date for this product. I used this RCA Converter to connect a Blu-ray player to an old tube TV in my guest bedroom. I really didn't like the product to begin with. When the Blu-ray player was off, it would display these jarring color stripes across the screen. But it worked (for one month), so I kept it. Now it only displays an unusable, warped, distorted image. No power surges. No change in how it was connected. The last day of returns, it worked fine. The next day, it was shot. After I noticed the problem, I connected it to other TVs and HDMI devices... no change. It's cooked. Don't buy this. Photo attached (see the rainbow-ish distortion).

Works great I am able to connect my PC and Steam Deck to my old CRT TV. I only gave it 4 stars because $40 is still a bit much for this device.

At first I connected my Firestick to this converter and many shows' sound was all static. After talking to tech support for 1/2 hour and getting no help from them, I decided to check my TV's menu. The sound had been set to dolby sound and when I changed that back to analogue stereo, everything worked perfectly and no more static. The converter was cheap and before solving the sound problem, I was just going to throw it in the trash. Glad I didn't do that. Insignia needs to include in the directions, to not use Dolby sound.
