The Mini 1080P HDMI to RCA Audio Video AV CVBS Adapter Converter (Model Number: 47235) promises a simple solution for connecting modern HDMI devices to older RCA-equipped TVs and projectors. After spending several weeks testing this compact converter, I’m ready to share my findings. This review will delve into its ease of use, performance characteristics, and overall value.

The 47235 boasts a remarkably straightforward design. Its small size makes it highly portable, easily fitting into any bag or travel case. The plug-and-play functionality eliminates the need for complex setup procedures. The converter supports 1080P resolution, crucial for maintaining a decent picture quality when converting from HDMI to RCA. The build quality seems robust, with a solid casing that feels durable enough for regular use.

In my testing, the 47235 performed admirably in most scenarios. Connecting it to my older CRT TV, I was pleased with the image clarity. While not perfectly crisp, especially with fast-moving content, the 1080P output significantly surpasses the blurry picture one might expect from such a simple converter. The audio signal transmission was also clean and clear. I used the converter with various devices: a laptop, Blu-ray player, and even a gaming console. While performance was consistent across these devices, I did notice a slight lag in gameplay when using it with the gaming console which could be a result of the conversion process itself and not necessarily a fault of the converter.

However, I did encounter some issues when using the converter with certain HDMI cables, indicating a degree of sensitivity to cable quality. Using a lower-quality, longer HDMI cable resulted in noticeable image flickering, underlining the importance of utilizing a high-quality cable for optimal performance.

Pros:

• Compact and portable design
• Simple plug-and-play setup
• Supports 1080P resolution
• Generally reliable audio and video transmission
• Durable build quality

Cons:

• Slight lag noticeable in gaming scenarios
• Can be sensitive to the quality of the HDMI cable used.
• Image quality isn’t perfect; some minor artifacting can occur during fast-paced visuals.

Overall, the Mini 1080P HDMI to RCA Audio Video AV CVBS Adapter Converter (Model Number: 47235) offers a practical and affordable solution for connecting modern devices to older displays. While not perfect, its ease of use, generally good performance, and durable construction make it a worthwhile purchase for those needing a simple HDMI to RCA conversion solution. Just be sure to use a high-quality HDMI cable to avoid potential issues. I would recommend this product to anyone needing a simple and effective way to bridge the gap between old and new tech.
