The text was horribly blurry and the colors/images were so cloudy, it was like a fog was over everything that made edges blurred and colors dulled. Dark rooms were impossible to see in, I had to turn my TV brightness to max. The OG cable was extremely thick and clunky, this is so much neater and compact, 1/3 of the size. This worked immediately out of box, even before I followed the instructions to adjust my XBOX video settings, which I did do eventually. Now the title screen for Prince of Persia is so CRISP and the borders of the text are SOLID! Improved colors on the temple loading screen also, I can actually see details I didn't know were there before! The game is so much more playable as bars and footholds used to be so blurry they blended into everything - parkour was a nightmare guessing game. I can actually see where I'm going now, everything is much more defined. I'm going to go for the PS2 version of this cable now since I can't read any text on the signs in those games. Review: Works as intended...much clearer than analog composite video - Works as designed with no issues. I used the power supply for my Firestick to power the adapter, as it does not come with one. I had used an XBOX to HDMI adapter from another manufacturer that did not have the external power option, and it was problematic. Not so with this one. Picture is clear, no blackouts, no loss of synch, no rainbows or wavy lines, etc. As such, I would recommend that you use the microUSB jack to give it a power boost, though I did not try it without. Some (if not all) games have a setting for brightness that you may wish to change, as they were originally designed for analog connections with analog TV's and may be too bright or too dark otherwise so adjust accordingly; this is not a fault of the adapter. The cable came in the green and black box shown in the product description. The game picture is significantly clearer using HDMI with greater sharpness, color, and contrast. It's easier to read smaller print in menus and title screens. The difference is similar to going from interlaced VHS to progressive scan DVD in the titles I've played. I originally played these games on a 27" CRT analog TV in standard definition. Now I'm playing them on a 43" LED digital UHD TV at 480p (maximum resolution on most games); the difference is well worth it to me. The included instructions explain how to set it up on an unmodded Original XBOX. This cable does work with a soft-modded XBOX, as that is what I am using. If using a soft-modded XBOX, you can enable the correct video settings in the soft-mod or load the Microsoft Dashboard and follow the included instructions. Easy to recommend this cable. ## Features - ORIGINAL XBOX ON HDTV: enjoy your favorite Xbox games like Fable and Halo 2 in high definition on a 4k TV, with the original Pound Technology HD Link Cable - HD READY: maximum possible video quality from our HDMI converter cable.

That is if you want as close to HDMI as you can get. **Q: Has anyone who bought this tried it on an elgato hd60 for streaming? i get a good picture, but the sound is badly distorted. looking for a solution.** A: I have this exact same issue. I only want this device to capture xbox gameplay. The audio is awful. Gonna try a component to hdmi adapter since I have my xbox component cables and they worked fine on a TV i have that still has hookups for it. **Q: I have a samsung nu8000 65 inc series. Would this cable work with my tv?** A: Yes it will. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Crisp Text - Vivid Colors *by S***X on March 11, 2025* I previously used the composite hookups through a cheap ONN Walmart converter at first.

Great adapter. ## Frequently Bought Together - POUND HD Link Cable for Original Xbox - Compatible with All Modern TVs, HDMI Cable for HD Video Quality and 480i/720p Resolution On Xbox Classic - Cotchear USB Adapter Cable for Xbox (Black) - Brook Wingman XB 2 Converter - Wireless Controller Adapter for XB Retro Consoles and PC, Supports Remap and Adjustable Turbo --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ie/products/66721329-pound-hd-link-cable-for-original-xbox-compatible-with-all](https://www.desertcart.ie/products/66721329-pound-hd-link-cable-for-original-xbox-compatible-with-all) --- *Product available on Desertcart Ireland* *Store origin: IE* *Last updated: 2026-05-23*
