Easy to use & effective.
Works perfectly! It enhances the images from your older game systems and is a MUST-HAVE with the newer age TVs. My PS2 looks clearer than ever and it allows my old PS1 games to come through clearer as well. Connects easily to your AV Receiver and I had zero issues setting it up. Highly recommended!

Works Great
Got this hooked up last night. Little blurry, the "smoothing button" didn't seem to do anything but that could be me not understanding how to use it.

Garbage!
Garbage! Cheap overseas garbage!!! Video blurry and audio hiss so loud that it’s as loud as the game audio. No matter what system or cables used. Avoid at all costs!!

Cheap and kind of works
The Build quality feels off. The plastic feels slightly better that a cheap knock off, Like when you buy a third party controller but not the one you know is the cheap one. It works but its hard to tell if its really working or if its just acting as a pass-through. I was able to hook up several systems and they did work, but there was a very noticeable lag from the system to my PC. I set it up a few ways.1: Console -> Scaler -> TV = some lag but nothing crazy. As a casual gamer, you would be fine depending on the game. I would guess 1/8 -1/4 second of lag2: Console -> Scaler -> PC = 1/4 to 1/2 second of lag3: Console -> Scaler (splitter used)-> TV -> PC = 1/2 to 1/3rd second of lag4: Console -> TV (A/V out) -> Scaler -> PC = 1/3rd to 1 full second lag5: Consoler -> TV (S-Video out) -> Scaler -> PC = Game on TV only, Not compatible with S-Video out from TV (specifically a Coby TV-DVD2050 20" color TV)Over all, good for day to day use. But for any sort of streaming/recording, I would pass.

Amazing! It actually works
I was skeptical that this would work that great. But I’ve tried it on the nes, n64, ps2 and xbox. The picture is clearer than any hdmi adapter I’ve tried or just connecting the svideo or component cables. The lag was gone for guitar hero on ps2 which I was actually surprised. Definitely worth it

Works Like a Charm
Don’t listen to the noise of this being a RetroTink clone. If it is, I don’t care. If Retro Tink wants my business, they can start producing the affordable units again. I’m not spending $200 plus dollars on something like this when there are more affordable options available that work just as well. The only thing I would recommend, is make sure you get some S-Video cables for your console to go along with this. The composite cables just offer a poor signal, and there is only so much something like this can do with them. The S-Video offers a far better picture, and this baby really makes it shine. The only thing I wish it had was a scan line generator, but for the price and quality of this thing, I’m not going to complain.

Update the official firmware and reset defaults and it works great!
Ordered these while trying to streamline my retro gaming setup. I ordered one for an SNES and one for an N64. When I initially received them I was convinced they were broken. Turning on the console sent a signal maybe 1/10 times and there was around a 30 second delay IF it would even show anything. After going to the manufacturer website and downloading the firmware tool and updating to the 0.8.4 firmware these actually work really well! There is about a 2-4 second startup delay after the console powers on, but they reliably work and I can completely live with this.I previously had been switching consoles using a Retro Scaler 2X which worked great, but was hoping to be able to do less cable juggling and switching by adding some additional scalers into the mix. I think the Retro Scaler 2X is also maybe by Bitfunx. The picture quality with the S-Video + 2X + Smoothing looks basically identical to the Retro Scaler, except now I have slightly less of an octopus setup connected to the TV.The pictures are very clear, without color striping. The edges are crisp but not harsh. It looks as you would hope from a 480p output of a really old console, and is miles better than using component or S-video cables directly. Highly recommend this, but definitely make sure you update the firmware and reset the defaults!!! I don't know why they arrived in such a strange state, but both I received worked very poorly before the firmware update, so I think this is a manufacturing thing.
