HD Retrovision Component Cables and Adapters Overview 

Oh yeah that looks really nice. When I was running my SNES on an HDTV I was using a set up that involved an RGB SCART cable and an HDMI upscaler. And it’s amazing what good cabling can do for your color and clarity.

second favorite cable next to cable from x men

I just got the gf retro vision cables for ps2 for $30, and regular cheap $7 composite cables and they look pretty much the same in picture quality. Is there any reason why I shouldn’t return the hd retro vision ($30) and keep using the $7 composite cables?

I have a 32 inch Sony Trinitron from 2006 that still works and has all the connections on the back. I thought about S Video since I am using Composite and that looks amazing on this TV, but if I’m going to upgrade I may purchase one of these components from you guys (I see a sale on the SNES Component but it’s only $1 off, not much of a sale sadly), and I hear the image quality is much better and a little brighter, so maybe it’s worth it to spend the money.

I have a couple of their cables…very nice quality. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

I have for ps1, snes, genesis, pcengine, and saturn and it’s amazing how good games look on my JVC D series crt. The one thing i’m annoyed about is that the dreamcast cables never came out, which would have been amazing for my setup. But regardless, great product and I appreciate their work

If anyone still has a hard time seeing the difference, just take notice of the Sonic Icon in the lower left corner of the screen while the Sega Genesis is playing.

Is like similar component cable ps3 right?

Great video! What about the PS2? Would you recommend a retrovision component cable on a HDTV with built-in component connections? Or just a standard component cable will do? Thanks in advance.

I wish there were a splitter available, so that it wouldn't be necessary to repeatedly pull the cable out of the Genesis and plug it into the adapter on the PlayStation. It would reduce wear and tear on the jacks and the cable itself.

S video is the sweet spot and why cheaper. I’ll pass lol

If original hardware and it's accessories keep evolving like this, I expect the emulation manufacturers to start issuing takedown notices immediately!

Id love to buy a set for my ps2 but theyre all out of stock!

I haven't seen the SNES running on Component with a CRT first hand, but in the past I remember seeing how games looked using S-Video(on a 25" Sony CRT) which is similar except for the fact that component has the upper hand in colour and contrast. Overall, I didn't like it. It was too sharp/clear. I know that's the point and it looks amazing once you get to the Dreamcast, Gamecube & Wii, yet for the 8-16 bit consoles I actually prefer composite with a 27" Sony Trinitron CRT, and even RF(solely for NES). Why? Because that extra softness, smoothens out the pixels and makes them look more organic, natural and cartoon-like aesthetically speaking and of course it's just nostalgic. The last thing I would want personally, is for my 8-16bit characters to look like a pile of sharp squares, which is what you get playing 8-16bit games in 720p-1080p on an HDTV. Still, Component on a 480i 27" CRT with an SNES will still look much more natural than the former. Plus, CRT as every retro-ling knows has a massive advantage in motion clarity, since they don't have any motion blur compared to the overrated current 4K OLED TV's of today. And latency-wise, CRT is just flawless. Curious to see how Saturn and PS1 look via component. Guess I'll have to get a PS1 & Saturn Retrovision Adapter and two pairs of Genesis component cables! :P Do those old school 3D polygons actually look better with the clarity boost that component provides over composite?

I'm watching this on my smart phone and i can't see the difference that you describe so I'll just have to take your word for it I guess 🤷🏼‍♂️

best cables... damn expensive and the sega gen 2's are hard to find. They play well with upscalers. Tv's not so well unless they can not handle a 240p signal. If you're going to buy scart cables these guys are your source.

For some reason, the cables wont display when you turn the genesis on. But if you wait and let the computer play in demonstration, it displays . But as soon as you hit start, no signal ?? Can anyone chime in ?

Do y’all not have a cable for the original Xbox?

I used to have that CRT before I bought a Pioneer Kuro Plasma. I appreciate the attempt at comparisons, but with compressed camera feed on top of yt compression it's hard to tell the difference most of the time.

Got a set for the Super Nintendo, Genesis, Turbo grafX 16 and the Master system running through a Samsung CRT 🤘

The difference on the Sega Genesis 1 and 2 doesn't show on my Pixel. I'll try again later on the Shield TV and 4k tv and update then. But just using different cables at home has made a big difference with my SNES and AV Famicom when connecting to a LCD.

I like mine. Not cheap, but looks great!

Hello, having issues with my hd retro cable. My 1chip snes works via scart to ossc. But when i use the hd retro cable i dont get a signal has anyone encountered this before?

nesecita mod RGB?

Wait, so my hdtv has component output. Will this connect it directly to the snes or do I need anything extra for it to work

Which one works for n64? I was reading on the website that the one for snes works only on a modded n64 or am I reading wrong

Does the Wii / Wii U YPbPr Component Cable have an HDMI on one end, and component on the other? The HDRetrovision website doesn't provide that information in the product details. I need to know since I need HDMI to component cable to connect to my Carby.

Music way too loud in this video. Can barely hear you.....
