Great picture, possibly fragile.
Eliminated checkerboarding for me. Picture quality looks extremely good. It seems a bit thin and doesn't stick in super solid the way OEM cables do but it also doesn't fall out or anything. I would probably not bend these cables often and stick to a setup once you get it set up. But it looks great, clean and no shadowing or checkerboarding in my use case.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Checkerboards galore. if you care - BE AWARE
    Reviewed in Canada on October 24, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    Disclaimer: Some people have eliminated, or reduced checkerboarding with this cable. I did not. It could be that some N64s are prone to checkerboarding regardless of cable. It also could be due to some TVs regardless of cable. I bought a more expensive, shielded cable and it still had checkerboarding. Your mileage may vary. The only cable that worked for me were official OEM S-Video cables, unfortunately.

    I bought this because a review said it had no checkerboarding, so it was a calculated risk. Checkerboarding is an unnatural artifact that comes complimentary with low quality cables, creating a "checkerboard/chessboard" like effect upon close inspection.

    It is subtle, and it's still technically better than composite. But it's not supposed to be there, and it can be jarring. Also, bad quality cables often come with bad quality audio (buzzier etc). Most reviews are by the uninformed, who simply see ANY S-video cable as an upgrade over composite, but these are not "high quality cables" as the they claim.

    Simply put, if you're looking for good S-video cables that eliminate checkerboarding or "dot crawl", this ain't it, chief.

    Also, don't be fooled into thinking any S-video cable without composite built in, will be good. Because it's not. In fact, I have a Multi AV (N64,PS2,Xbox) with S-Video+Composite. A recipe for crosstalk. However, as long as PS2 is the only plug connected, and composite is not used, there is no checkerboarding. But it still causes checkerboarding on N64 even if I use that same setup...

    So yeah, if you care about checkerboarding, don't buy this. Might as well buy a Multi-AV cable or one that comes with composite. Or hell. Just stick to Nintendo official composite cables, as the audio is probably better than these cheap cables anyway.

    5.0 out of 5 stars WOW
    Reviewed in Canada on January 21, 2025

    I didn't expect such a dramatic improvement in image quality. I was planning to apply some mods to my SNES to improve image quality (such as replacing a voltage regulator, adding capacitors, stuff like that). With this cable all of the mods are unnecessary: image quality is amazing. Not only sharpness and colors have improved, but even notorious vertical bars which are visible on dark screen, have completely disappeared.

    Just to be clear, I'm using SNES with RetroScaler 2x, which by itself is improving image quality. But when I'm changing a composite cable to the S-Video cable, the difference is stunning.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Overall, it's just okay.
    Reviewed in Canada on February 2, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    I know S Video is a definite upgrade to an old system with a composite cord but if the cord is cheap it can actually look worse. Even if you're determined to get good quality cords, they can be tricky to find. So, sometimes, you take a risk. I felt like I had on this one because of the price point and in the end it turned out to be just okay. The difference in quality on my N64 was about the same. It was definitely not worse but I struggled to notice an improvement. You would have to take a screen capture with both cords and place them side by side to get a definitive answer - I am not able to do this other than with a cell phone. The cords work and work well. No hum or noise with my setup. Delivery was fast. Good price point.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Not just composite signal
    Reviewed in Canada on April 19, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    Get this over any that you see that also have a yellow composite cable with them - those are just composite signals, this is actually s video. Looks significantly sharper on SNES, N64, and GameCube than the standard cables.

    I found the visual improvements on SNES and GameCube to be much better, to the point that this will be my preferred way to play these systems (short of a GCHD or RGB mod), however the visual on N64 is not necessarily better. It looks much sharper, but I personally found this effect to be very strange looking and not desirable. This could very well be your thing if you just want sharpness, but it's not a clear cut improvement like it is for the others.

    I am very happy with my cable. I have an LG 4K tv and am using a $35 amazon composite/s-video cable to hdmi. With this setup the picture is clear with no checker boarding. No lag either. I am very happy so far and would recommend as the picture quality is much better, especially for the GameCube.

    I used to have an svideo cable that still needed the yellow composite cable, it had sort of a honeycomb or checkerboard effect with vertical and horizontal lines in the image. Some of the 1-2 star reviews say this product has the same problem but this is the cleanest looking s-video I've gotten from my N64. I've yet to compare it to SCART on my SNES but I highly recommend this cable over other svideo options you'll find on this website. Picture the cable being used with my CRT

    5.0 out of 5 stars A must for CRT TVs with S-Video
    Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2025
    Verified Purchase
    No frills cable does exactly as advertised. I am using this with my Nintendo 64 connected to my CRT TV and the image is bright, crisp (especially with text/UI elements) and noise free. Audio is clear too. Build of the cable itself is a bit flimsy, but if it's not routed and bent at extreme angles I don't expect it failing anytime soon. A must buy to get the best visuals you can get out of the old systems and for less than $10, especially if your TV supports S-Video.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 18, 2025
    Verified Purchase
    I'm not sure why my cable shows image in black and white, no colour. I am using a pal super Nintendo on a pal TV, and from understanding this cable should be compatible, only states pal N64 not compatible. I read there could be something wrong with the chroma signal inside the cable as this signal produces colour but I tested it for continuity and the cable was fine. It seems others have mostly had success getting a picture with colour, I only came across one other review were the picture had no colour! The rest just complained of checkerboarding. Either way very disappointed with the lack of information on this but great full 鶹 were able to refund me.

    P.s even though I had no colour with this S video cable I noticed a big difference in how sharp the pixels looked compared to composite, also I hardly noticed any checkerboarding unless up close, it's very fai t on this cable. Just a shame it's black and white

    Thin, cheaply made cables that have a lot of interference. There’s very bad checkerboarding that makes the image look like hot garbage on my PAL N64. It appears the quality varies a lot as I also have the same brand cable for my NTSC N64 and there is no checkerboarding and the image quality is good. Buying this brand can be a gamble so you might be disappointed.
