Insignia™ - RCA to HDMI Converter - Black

Bought new from a Best Buy store and it came without the necessary power adapter. A mini-USB power plug was provided but the device itself requires a round 5v plug. Can’t even use it out of the box and for $50.

Picked this converter up so my friends and I could dust off the PS2 and play FFVII before the remake is released next year. There have been zero issues with the converter since I purchased it back in April. I have yet to try it out on any other RCA-only systems but it works as it should with the PS2. For those of you interested in purchasing a converter for your old video game systems, make sure you get this one: RCA to HDMI. The very similar HDMI to RCA doesn't work so make sure you have the right thing. The store I went to had HDMI to RCA in the RCA to HDMI slot. My friend noticed it and we had to dig clear all the way to the back to find the right item. I made sure the correct item in front for anyone else trying to find the same thing. My only gripe is that at $49, it is kind of expensive. The convenience of picking it up at the store over waiting to get it in the mail from an online retailer is nice though.

I needed a device to be able to connect my old Wii to my new Samsung tv. But I also needed to be able to connect a VHS player to the tv to watch old home videos. So I bought this since it could accomplish both tasks. I didn't want to pay $50 for it, so since it was on sale it was time to buy. I was apprehensive since I know that watching VHS on new tv's greatly reduces picture & sound quality. Much to my surprise, this converter not only worked without a glitch but the quality on my 70 inch screen is great! I am again able to enjoy old vhs home videos of past Christmases, Thanksgivings, kids, etc on my large screen and I am loving it. 11/18/2019

I don't like giving negative reviews. This device has a major impedance mismatch, which causes signal reflections that turn up as ghosting on the TV. In the picture you can see the ghost of the menu to the right of the menu. Not only that, but the vertical bars you can see are the ghosts of the horizontal sync that is off the screen. Also, there is a periodic frame skip. I don't know how you map composite video (29.97fps / 59.94 fields per second) to 1080p (60jps), so I just observe that the problem is there. Why two stars? Well, it *does* work. It was also the only device I could buy in my city for any amount of money. Anything else must be mail ordered.

We had some old VCRs hanging around and, of course, a whole bunch of VHS tapes. Problem is that our Samsung TV didn't have RCA plugs on it, so there was no way to play the tapes. This little goodie saved the day! Just connect the RCA plugs to the color coded receptacles; connect an HDMI cable on the other side to the TV; plug the transformer to the wall outlet and it works like a charm. Now we are thinking of purchasing another TV so we can use one to use solely for the VHS collection we have. I thought it might be a bit expensive, but compared to the cost of buying a new VCR or purchasing all the VHS titles over again as DVDs, the price was right.

I longer have any tvs in my room with RCA jacks, as all I have are gaming monitors, so I had to figure out how I could hook up my Nintendo Wii to my Benq monitor. Searched around and this seemed like a reasonable option. It's low cost and very simple to use and set up. The only real downside is the black borders for a small viewing screen. It's a bit distracting at first, but the old-school games make me forget about it after a short while. Would be nice if there was a way to have the Wii display games that didn't look so pixelated, though I assume it will always be a problem given the high resolution of the monitor.

Many of my loved ones have transitioned. When my family had gatherings I videoed them on VHS Tapes. Today's tvs are "smart" and do not have a port for the VCR to connect to. Fortunately, BestBuy sells RCA to HDMI Converters. Now, my family can journey back in time and reconnect with our loved ones. This is beneficial to this generation for many have never met many of our loved ones. They now have a way to see and hear the people we "old head" often refer to. THANK YOU, BESTBUY for keeping my family's memories alive!

I bought this to use with my Wii on my 4k Samsung tv. My family loves the Wii for Just Dance and Mario Kart, but the split screen made everything look smaller. When we upgraded to a bigger, newer tv it did not have composite or component connections. This worked perfectly and gave a slight improvement to the graphics. Now we can play split screen Mario Kart without squinting to see our player.
