Kaico Sega Dreamcast HDMI Converter - Simple Plug and Play HDMI Converter For Sega Dreamcast Sega Dreamcast VGA cable to Dreamcast HDMI - The Best Sega Dreamcast AV Cable

I have never written a review before on amazon (at least I think), but this HDMI converter was so impressive that it's worth leaving one for.Works seamlessly on a modern PC monitor and outputs amazing audio and video with no noticeable input delay.I've used AV converters before that cost twice as much and leave noise and artefacts, but this is truly as close as you'll get to perfection without using a HDMI mod on the Dreamcast console.A solid 10/10 for me, I'm definitely looking into buying the same brand for my original Xbox also.

This is a well made product, designed to actually just work. I didn't want to mess around trying to get a dodgy cable to work with a Dreamcast and this seemed like it would do the job. It certainly did. It really is just plug and play and takes the uncertainty out of whether you have a dud Dreamcast or not. Picture and sound quality is good. Happy with my purchase.

This is a very good product as far as plug & play goes. I'm running it through my old 32 inch sony bravia tv & my favourite Dreamcast games are getting played much more now compared to my CRT TV. There are less than 20 minor games that don't work through this, but my faves - VF3, Speed Devils, Incoming, Daytona 2001, Shadowman, Sega Rally 2, Soul Calibur, plus loads of others, are now looking very sharp indeed. Speed Devils is a very good example, & Metropolis Street Racer as well, as these two looked rather fuzzy & blurry on the CRT, which is what they were destined to be played on. They now look really great thanks to this HDMI converter. If you go into dark areas such as in Shadowman, you can see the feint vertical lines present, but they don't show up in normally lit areas. In other words, well done Kaico, for making this simple plug & play device. Highly recommended & at a very reasonable price. 😁👍🎮

Quite tight with both the connection into the Dreamcast, as well as the HDMI cable into the unit itself - but it works quite well. When a game doesn't work, you simply switch off, flick the switch to RGB (from VGA) and I haven't come across a game I haven't been able to play yet. Most work with VGA, but some of the older ones are RGB.

Really good product. Easy to use. The only reason I haven't given a 5 star is because the connection to the dreamcast is a little shoddy. The plastic casing around the connector isn't the best quality and is very loose. It still works to a very high standard though so I am happy with the product

Can`t fault this for the price. Got it running on a 55 inch OLED and as far as 640x480P outputs go, looks fantastic.But beware with it converting VGA to HDMI output, its sending a PC Full RGB colour space output (0-255) not limited (16-235) which is whats used on most media devices. If you are noticing all your black levels seems crushed, with no detail this is why.Most modern TV`s allow you to set this in settings under hdmi black level, which you want on high. Make sure your TV supports full RGB colour space range though. If not, you might be best of going the VGA cable route on a monitor or older tv`s that used to support VGA.Other that that, if you want to relive the glory days of the best Console of all time, this is an essential purchase!

Playing the Dreamcast is so much fun but getting it setup was always a pain with modern TV's. In particular if you wanted to stream to Twitch.Anyway, I have been using this Adapter for a few days now and absolutely love it. Plug into the back of the Dreamcast and HDMI cable to the TV, it's that simple. I'm sure there are others who can give more details on the technical side but as a regular gamer I am very happy with this purchase and easily recommend.

PROS:-It works with the correct TV settings-It is indeed plug and play-VGA option is a game changer to upscale at 1080p and further 4k by the TV itselfCONS:-Flimsy build-Very long, makes storage and display of the console difficult if you set the console together with other consoles in a switch setup-Does not work well on all TVs regardless of settings-2 or 3 seconds blackouts from time to time (not too often in fairness)-Not all games work well (Sega Rally 2 was showing temper tantrums for example)I have 4 different TVs, 3 of them are LG and one Samsung.For some reason, in two OLED TVs with the exact same cloned settings, one shows extremely sharpened and with huge pixels and the other one performs amazingly well.I would understand this if the one showing the worst results was the larger screen with the same resolution. But that's not the case, the one showing worse results is the one with smaller pixels but the same 4k output.Then swapping to the 4k Samsung shows results halfway towards great but certainly playable.Hooking a Marseille dongle to the converter does not improve results in my experience, if anything, it makes things worse.All in all, if you manage to be lucky and have a TV that handles the image upscaling well, you will be very pleased with the results, lack of input lag and experience overall.I wish the dongle wasn't that long so the console could be displayed on a smaller shelf.
