Made a huge difference.

Really made a huge difference in quality of video. I previously was using composite on a lcd tv. The quality with composite was ok, but the text on screen was difficult to read and the colors were washed. With this adapter, the text is crystal clear and the colors are vibrant. I am using a first generation Sega and I do agree the cable that comes with this feels like it’s going to break the console, but I risked it and it plugged in fine.

Beautiful!

This will make your Genesis come to life on your flat screen TV! I'm super impressed. The difference between the pound and the normal av wires is night and day! Worth every penny!!

Looks fantastic, no lag at all

The Sega Genesis, like all Sega consoles, has a RGB output that us Americans really can't take advantage of without some high end equipment - but this cable converts that to a modern HDMI signal and the results are fantastic with no lag that I can notice. I tried out Ghouls 'n Ghosts, a game I've played hundreds of times on a CRT, and results are fantastic - everything felt exactly how I expected, yet it looked like I was playing a emulator as the graphics were so crisp. I used this with a Sega Nomad, which is based on the model 2 Genesis, and on battery I had no issues with signal drops or anything. In the box you also get a model 1 converter. I'm really impressed by this - I've never used or even seen the RGB out on the Genesis, and it's great. Make sure you have gaming mode on your TV, or better use a gaming low latency monitor for best results. Also with these cables on other devices I've seen people complain about dark images - well no issue here, with my default settings left in place on my monitor the image looked great. Another thing I've seen with other cables is people saying the image contrast was too high and you'd lose image detail - and again, no issue here. Again, the best way to compare the video for those that haven't used RGB output on this system is that i looks like a good emulator in the best way possible, meaning zero lag, perfect picture quality, no noticeable video noise.

Shocked!

I was absolutely blown away by the quality and function of this product when considering the sticker price. I honestly think there is no comparison with any other product that meets this price point and in my opinion it beats out a lot of the way more expensive options that are out there. Pulls RGB directly, I mean come on most of the others are all just composite upscalers and the flexibility of use is apparent when testing it with other game systems that have a din or mini din a/v out, for example the neo geo and turbo grafix 16. It is not advertised as being compatible but if the systems natively output rgb and have the right output port it seems to work perfectly, though not recommended by the company. I could not recommend this product more highly for anyone wanting to have a cheap and easy option to play on modern TVs and/or record video with a capture card. Pleasantly surprised and extremely satisfied with the money spent, a great buy!

love this product!

This cable is great! Incredibly sharp and the colors are ON POINT. I also tried the Hyperkin version and the colors were blown out and not accurate at all. Not a problem with this cable, it works great with my 4k TV! Some people complain about the plug for the Genesis 1. I don't see what the issue is, fits just fine and doesn't look like it could damage the plug at all.

Pretty solid adapter!

Super bright colors and it also works with the Sega CD just fine. Also good for hooking up to newer TV's that lack regular A/V connections, which are becoming more common these days. Combined with the 8BitDo Retro Receiver for SEGA Genesis & Mega Drive, you have a pretty decent modern setup for retro gaming.

Great for sega

I bought this for a sega genius 2. I can’t tell u how much better the picture is with this device.

Exactly what I needed

Since no one answered my question, "Will this work with the Sega Master System?", I ordered one to find out for myself. The answer is, Yes it does, and it looks great. Colors are fantastic. Honestly I had no idea that the Master System and Genesis could look so good. Maybe there are better options out there, but not for only $30. Sound is great as well. I wish there was a way to patch stereo sound from the headphone jack on the model 1 Genesis, but for mono sound on both the Master System and Genesis model 1, this is great. Only problem I had was that the adapter for the model 1 Genesis, which also works with the Master System, is such a tight fit that I didn't get a good connection when I first used it. So if anyone has issues with bad color or sound, try pushing the cable into the system a bit harder, but not so hard that you break anything. Otherwise, enjoy you old systems on your HDTV.

AMAZING!!

Goodbye composite cables! No more blurry images on my HDTV. This thing works like you'd thought it will. Highly recommended!

Must buy for Genesis

Works well and you can plug the usb into your TV to power the Pound cable. Must have for anyone planning on getting og models of Genesis. Clarifies any mess or softness a component cable would put out.
