POUND HD Link Cable Compatible with Sega Genesis - HDMI Cable with RGB Picture Quality, 720p Resolution, Plus Micro USB Cable for Boosted Power

I'm just amazed how this solved my issue on a FHD portable monitor. Old school games wasn't made to be play on Modern HDTV or FHD portable monitor etc. In this picture, I'm showing sonic the hedgehog 3 for the Sega Genesis 2 model. Using the AV composite cable on an Modern FHD portable monitor. You see the rainbow Bands artifact. I put a red arrow on the picture. And in icecap zone you see the rainbow Bands artifact again, while using the AV composite cable on a modern FHD portable monitor. I also put the red arrow in the picture. So, I was able to find a fix for this, for me. I found pound technology. This help me. Now on the other picture you see the new improve look and icecap zone you don't see any rainbow Bands artifact. I mean, I know there's other expensive options with More improvement with the Sega Genesis 32X it won't show the correct color. it will be so bright. Don't buy this product if you have a 32x You can Buy Like the Rad2x, Retrotink2x, ossc, HD retrovision cable etc those will work good on the Sega 32x especially the Radx2. I'm just happy how it looks to me on the Sega Genesis 2. It feel like I'm playing this on an emulator for PC like I use to do. It's very clear an crisp.

This is a great replacement for my original link cord, since mines had a malfunction. The quality of the picture is very crisp. Haven't seen nothing negative about it yet. Easy to connect.

I really like the Pound cables. Will they give you the absolute best picture? No. But I don't want to build my own solution, or pay hundreds of dollars and still have to switch cables when switching consoles to play. With Pound cables and a HDMI switch you have the easiest and cheapest solution ever. And the picture is still great! I only have some very minor noise in background colors, but you don't even notice it while playing at all. Couldn't be happier!

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!

First off let me say the graphics on the HD tv are great. Images and text are crisp, and I don’t detect any lag. I’ve noticed a few other things that may or may not break it for you: 1. No way to patch in Sega CD or genesis model 1 stereo audio. This could easily be done with a 3.5 mm stereo mini jack on the device, or a video input cable adapter that has a break away for the stereo input. 2. Audio on the model 1 genesis is mono, but sent to both channels on the tv. 3. There is an annoying purple bar with a moving “segment” on the top of the TV image and some flickering white dots on the bottom of the TV image. 4. Connection with the model 1 seems a bit quirky. It’s hard to insert the cable into the console AV port, I hope it doesn’t do any long term damage as I don’t leave my systems connected, just pull them out and hook them up on demand. I also noticed the connection seems a bit flakey at times, if I bend the cable a certain way, the pound dongle seems to loose connection and shows “no signal” until I bent it a different way.

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.

After trying out other upscalers this one hit the spot! The colors and screen resolution are really solid. Hope to save you some time if you want to spend a little extra go straight for this one. There are other more expensive rabbit holes to go down i.e RetroTNK and OSSC but those are all expensive and doubt much better than this one.

Tolles Teil, macht genau das was es soll am Mega Drive 1. Angeschlossen und direkt ein Bild zu sehen. Nicht so leider bei dem zu erst bestellten SEGA auf Chinch Kabel. War also schon fast enttäuscht und gespannt ob es mit diesem klappen würde. Schon fast sicher befürchtet, dass auch dieses hier kein Bild liefern wird.... Doch... Anschluss einfach über TV-USB Stomversorgung reichte bei mir. HDMI Kabel war auch mit dabei, ersparte mit lästiges Umstecken. Also eingesteckt, Power on am SEGA und voila läuft. Kann jetzt nicht sagen ob das Bild wirklich sooo viel besser ist als über RF oder RGB, immerhin xx Jahre her seitdem ich letzte Mal eines *live* sah, aber es ist auf jeden Fall besser als ich es für diese 16 Bit erwartet hätte. Ob das dem HD erzwingen des Chips liegt? Aber Spielspass hab ihr damit direkt und das echt einfach... Ton ist auch besser, als ich gedacht hätte.... Klar hatte mich der Preis etwas abgeschreckt und nicht alle Rezensionen waren hier so positiv aber es war das Richtige. und wegen Hitzeentwicklung kann ich hier auch nach einigen Stunden Retro-Gameplay nix sagen, da ich bei normaler Raumtemperatur absolut nix feststellen konnte...

Product arrived in perfect condition and it works great

Love this my mega drive looks so sweet. You do have to push it in a bit hard to the mega drive but once in it amazing. I have the cable for other systems 10/10

変換器本体にmicroUSBの電源端子が付いているので電源を取っていたのですが、例に漏れず発熱します。(ケースを閉じたまま10分ほどの通電でも、指で摘むとじーんと痺れが残るくらいには発熱します) ただ自分の環境では、電源を取らなくても動いてしまいました。(偶然変換器の電源を入れ忘れたまま動かしていて後で気付いたのですが…) 他のライン(MD2のRGBかHDMI端子)のどちらかから電源が取れているらしく、そちら側にどれだけの負荷が掛かっているのかが不明ですが、変換器は特に発熱を感じないレベルでした。 変換器の方が安いですし、他の機器に負荷が掛かっているのを考えると微妙なんですが…そんな動作もあるという事で参考までに書いておきます。

Picture is good but after an hour of playing there is a loud hiss in the audio. Feels like unit gets very hot.
