Fixing the EON XBHD's MAJOR Flaw

Here’s hoping they actually fix the issues you highlighted.

I knew it would likely be a full vs limited range thing once everyone was talking about it on MVG's video. Hopefully they do fix it! I think this adapter would be decent if the video output was correct, and if the price were a bit lower. If you don't need 2 HDMI ports and the ethernet ports, the Xbox2HDMI is the way to go. Much cheaper and works great

While I am glad this addresses the black level issues, this also does expose the HORRENDOUS over saturation of the image's green channel that you'd see on cheap HDMI adapters like those for the wii. Like I said on MVG's video I really do hope we get a MK-II of the XBHD to address these issues, as I genuinely do love the idea of this being a 2-in-1 solution for both capturing footage and also making LAN parties much more easier to manage. As the old saying goes: If at first you don't succeed, try again.

This was my exact thoughts when I saw MVGs video, But I would still see it as a flaw with the device. All these older consoles did output to the legal- or limited range. And so should the adapter. Also, considering people don't know how to deal with these settings it's much better with a washed out image, rather than a cruched image for those who don't set their RGB-output up proporly. (Let me guess, 99% of people). Anyway, I still find the price of the device a bit crazy, I will stick with component > GBS-C instead. That device has line-doubling, motion adaptive de-interlacing, advanced integer scaling options for 1080p... for the low price of 65$ from Ali Express.

It's mind-boggling that this thing costs as much as it does while offering so little, and with such a glaring flaw. The GCHD is a line-doubler and costs less. Why couldn't EON fit that feature into the XBHD that costs more?

Great review! I'd love to send you one of my Xbox2HDMI adapters so you can see what all the hype is about!⚡

good old full vs limited strikes again

Yeah this makes a lot of sense. I fed it through the Tink 5x and it looked great on my monitor. Didn't even think to turn my TV on and see how it faired.

That shit killed me, "Why can't I see Sgt. Johnson?" I really wish they'd make a snes jr hdmi adapter

i got reccomended this. great job doing the video

it is still way too expensive a product to make reviewers not know that they had to set their TV and capture to full range RGB for a console that never used that in the first place

I have the Xbox2HDMI adapter. Didn't have any visual problems unlike this device. Tested 480i to 720p Xbox games. All displayed well.

I picked up a pretty cheap xbox hdmi cable back in the day. However, the best HDMI output for an og xbox requires modifications to the console as far as I know. I think it actually has a digital video signal that can be directly yoinked before it is converted to analogue.

I saw Macho Nacho teardown, it's a piece of trash. They even scrapped the chips.

Great job sir!

Hey Eposvox, can you recommend a decent GC component cable please? :)

I'm just lucky I found an official Xbox Component cable at a local pawn shop I visit regularly for only $20.

When i first saw reviews for this i actually had the same thinking. Back in 2010's i had a GTX 670 that had the same issue. Every driver update it would change my video range from full to limited on my pc. But my brain has gotten older and i totally forgot about this. But my take on it is how they will respond since a ton of these are already in the wild. This isn't like a $20 or $40 piece of hardware it's almost $200. I don't expect everything to be flawless, but companies seem to be forgetting the simple things. Sending copies out to testers help with you know testing the product on more devices. I think they used it on their limited devices and found it worked fine. Or there was an update later in the dev cycle and something happened. Not everyone can change this setting on their display. I have a samsung Q80T and I don't have that setting. But Samsung does have a service menu but you need the full remote control which they don't give you have to buy it separately. As always good video and here's hoping Eon is a good company and offer a fix for the people that bought this product already and pull any thats already on sale.

John Hancock showed both HDMI signals at the same time, one monitor showed correct colors and the other monitor was dark.

What do you think about the Xbox2HDMI (newest model)? I got an OG Xbox version 1.0 and it works amazing. How does that one compares to the EON? Thanks for the details on the video.
