Customers like the appearance of the electronic cable. They say it has a razor sharp picture, and it works perfectly. They are more than happy with the quality of display, saying the video is definitely clearer than composite and definitely competes with HD Retrovision cables.

Customers are mixed about the quality of the electronic cable. Some mention it's a quality product and works perfectly, while others say that it has a serious quality control problem and is not worth buying.

"...My only issue is just this: The color balancing is a little off on mine. The blue is a little too strong and the red a little too weak." Read more

"...The visuals are dark, and while you can adjust the brightness on your TV to try and compensate for that, the crispness and correct color..." Read more

Works as expected for Sega genesis
Comparing this to my recent connection was night to day. My previous connection wasn't as clear and I immediately noticed the difference once I turned on my genesis. I also like the fact that it changes the screens aspect ratio between 720 for that old school look to a very nice 1080p wide screen.makes me wish I could have played Coach K college basketball onside screen back in the 90's

3.0 out of 5 stars Not an ideal solution. A case of "you get what you pay for".
Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2019
The picture quality is better than regular AV (composite). If that is what you're comparing it to, you'll probably be satisfied with this. If your comparison is to other Genesis/Mega Drive RGB quality cables, you will be disappointed. Even one of those old S-Video Micomsoft adapters for the Genesis is far ahead of this in terms of accurate color reproduction and sharpness.

Now, be VERY aware that the adapter cable that they supply you with to connect to a Model 1 Genesis/Mega Drive is NOT the correct one. It does not fit properly. The connector pins are larger than what they ought to be to connect to a Model 1. You can try and wedge it in there but it's not advisable to do so. You risk damaging the AV port of your console. See the photo I have attached of that. The Hyperkin connector is on the left of the pic. The correct, official Sega connector is on the right.

Following on from the above, that adapter cable will though fit perfectly on a NEO GEO AES system. See the photo. Unfortunately though, the quality of the image on a Neo Geo is poor. The visuals are dark, and while you can adjust the brightness on your TV to try and compensate for that, the crispness and correct color reproduction is just not there.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 1, 2023
I ordered this hdmi cable to attach to my 7800GD cartridge in my old Atari 7800 which allows an rgb connection similar to that of the Megadrive.

Im glad to say it works perfectly and allows me to play my old retro console on my largescreen TV via hdmi with perfect graphics and colours.

There is a very slight shimmer but it's hardly noticeable and mostly only on the menu screen.

I would throughly recommend it for using in this manner. I am very happy with it.

I did purchase it when the product was on offer which made it even better value.
