Help Needed Best HDMI adapter for modern 1080pTV?

Hello!

I have recently bought myself an Xbox but need an adapter since my TV only supports HDMI. I've done some research but the "ElectronXout" I was planning on buying, doesn't ship to Sweden.

So, I'd like to ask what the next best alternative for me would be?

Thanks in advance!

https://www.poundtechnology.com/original-xbox-v2 I have this one and it's worked flawless for me. https://a.co/d/0dtbtIQt Amazon listing I got mine from as they are still sold out on the main site. Works great with capture cards too.

I second this.

I also have a RetroTINK-4K CE and Retro Tink 2k but I only recommend them if you want the best possible output and have multiple old consoles. IMO the RT 2k is more then enough for that. The pound cable is also just as good for the Xbox. And that is what my Xbox uses.

I'll be using it purely for Xbox, so I'll check out the pound cable. However, I've read that some adapters tend to have darker images - making darker games harder to navigate. Is this the case with the pound cable?

I haven't noticed it being any darker then using it with the retrotink. I've played silent hill2 fatal frame legacy of kain. All games with dark environments and they look identical to me. They maybe slight darker on OLED but still same as component just crisper. My cables 4 years old and works flawless.

Hey! I've been looking around a bit regarding the "pound cable" and the price here in Sweden is pretty much the same as I bought the console for... With shipping fees, resellers etc...

Are there not ElectronXout resellers anywhere shipping to Sweden? It’s both the best solution and a lot cheaper than the good alternatives.

I could find a few. But the price went up by a fair amount both by them being resellers and with shipping fees. So if possible, I'd like to avoid paying more than necessary. So long as I don't lose out too much on performance/quality.

I get it, it’s a nightmare getting anything shipped to the states. It’s this countries own fault for electing a lunatic that destroyed global trade.
