There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I'm only going to discuss the product line and not individual units, meaning I'm not concerned with the quality control aspect, rather the actual hardware design. It so happens that both of my units were in proper working order (I noticed that many reviewers received dead ones), so I won't comment on DOA units.
The top critical review (by rstoamped) I read also deals only with the design aspect, and does this by visual inspection of the circuit board. I didn't open either of my units up, so I can't confirm or refute what was said. However, there was a photo with the review (although quite tiny) and the review seems competent so I'll include what I consider to be the "meat". The good version has 3 chips and the inferior one has only 1. I'm sure this had a significant impact on the production cost.
So here's the deal on the 2 versions: the rip-off version will only convert HDMI to composite AV (CVBS) when the digital source signal is already at the resolution which the analog device is capable of displaying. In other words, the video starts out in a digital format but only has the resolution of a standard definition (SD) signal. So the rip-off box only does a 1 to 1 conversion from digital to analog; it does no "scaling".
(Non- blu-ray) DVD player's have a maximum resolution of 720x480, which is 'pretty much' the same as a standard definition TV signal (my grasp of analog video starts to resemble voodoo at this point). and so any DVD player that has an HDMI output almost certainly does upscaling. Cable or satelite boxes provide programs in SD and so usually have analog outputs or do upscaling on their HDMI outputs. I didn't spend TOO much time Googling, but I found that SD signals over HDMI isn't very common.
So all of these things together is this why I found this converter to be a rip-off. There just aren't very many uses for it. The only way I was able to test that the rip-off box actually works was to use a computer. A PC will let you adjust the resolution by dragging that pointer all the way down to a humble standard definition (which pretty much is what a true VGA signal is: 640x480).
WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A "GOOD" HDMI 2 AV CONVERTER BOX:
Getting ripped off is way to easy, not only when buying an item sight unseen over the internet, but even if you're doing it "brick'n'mortar" style (or perhaps ChevyTrunk'n'sidewalk style!). For me at least, the rip-off box came in a legitimate looking retail package which had "Full HD 1080p" proudly displayed on the front of the box, and whose instructions inside were EXACTLY the same as the instructions that came with my "good" HDMI 2 AV converter (which didn't come in retail packaging, just with the instruction "manual" in a bubble-pop mailer). Also, the "good" one was in a black plastic case with white printing and also had "UP scaler 1080P" below the "HDMI2AV" (even though it's actually a "down-scaler"). The rip-off box came in a white plastic case and had nothing below the black printing which said "HDMI2AV"
So there you have it; that's the skinny on these converters! (is anyone even buying these anymore?!)
YOU HAVE TO PLUG THE ADAPTER BOX INTO A POWER SOURCE VIA USB TO STOP THE FLICKERING.

Sorry to repeat myself, but I keep seeing the same complaints about this perfectly functional, and affordable product.
It's like someone slamming a lawnmower in a review, because their front-yard is paved over.
I use one in our car to connect an HDMI Boxee Box to our roof mounted LCD and the other converts a Chromecast to give me RCA audio.
