I bought the Composite (Red/White/Yellow RCA plugs) and S-Video to HDMI adapter specifically to use with my SNES that wouldn't otherwise work with my television. I have a 2 year-old Insignia 1080p LCD TV that doesn't have composite inputs on it, but it does have a set of component inputs on the side. As some of you may know, you can actually plug the yellow composite cable into the green input on the video portion of the component inputs and it works fine. Well, for some reason connecting my SNES through this method would not produce in video. I also connected my SNES to my parents 1080 plasma Panasonic HDTV into the TV's composite inputs and the TV wouldn't display an image that way either.
I bought this adapter hoping to alleviate the issue so I don't have to rely on terrible RF adapter quality for my SNES. I've read on the internet that some TV's don't work with older strange resolutions that old consoles put out. There were some other explanations as to why some new TVs don't work with the SNES.
This device so far (just got it today) works great. The image is clear, the visuals aren't great but this is the SNES we're talking about being upconverted to 1080p on a 55 inch TV.
I've read reviews that said this device wouldn't turn on, flat-out didn't work, or stopped working after a couple weeks. Well, I've only had it for a number of hours but so far so good.
I'll update my review after a month or so if there is any change in functionality of the device. But, other than a slight delay in getting the device set up (there is a "switch" button that presumably switches between the composite video/s-video/HDMI (there's an HDMI in along with the other video inputs) and a button that allows you to switch from 720p to 1080p. There is no on-board display to know which of the three video inputs the device is transmitting, so you just have to press "switch" until you're on the right one.
So far my SNES' video and audio signals are being converted into a digital signal, sent to my audio receiver through HDMI, then to my TV with surprising video clarity through this device. Unless it stops working, I would recommend this device to anyone who has any kind of device that does not have HDMI support.
