| Going component on my Genesis 1, want HDMI conversion. Ideas? |

Polygon - you bring up my greatest worry! My LED TV is listed on their compatibility list, but fails the B&W test that they recommend! My CRT is SD, and it can handle from RF to component. I think I'll be using this one until better converters are made. As a side note, I also am using a PSP (PSP 2000/3000) to component adapter box, and it has no lag whatsoever; not even when switched between 720P and 1080P modes. |

I'm really looking forward to the HD Retrovision cables. Didn't have any funds when the kickstarter was running, so I missed out on backing it and have to wait until they have them for sale. Am currently using a scart to component setup, which looks excellent, but it'll be nice to simplify the number of cables needed to get such picture quality. |

It's the conversion from analog to digital where you get the lag. --- Quote from: Quazimoto on December 14, 2015, 09:04:24 PM ---I'm really looking forward to the HD Retrovision cables.

My Genesis 1 is currently using SCART to component. I hate how frail the SCART cables are. And I had to adjust the pots on my converter since the green was a little oversaturated. I'm just glad I didn't invest in SCART for all my old systems. |

I'm using SCART to Component on a CRT now, but I may invest in one of these direct component cables when they become available in order to reduce my clutter a bit, as well as being able to quickly connect my Genesis' from one TV to another. Can't beat component for picture quality - the games look amazing in their native 240p. Although, like Polygon said above, I had to adjust the color pots inside the converter. My red still seems over saturated, but I can't seem to fix it. |

SCART RGB is tempting, but last time I went SCART, with my Amiga, it was too fiddley, and the cable broke. |
