How about this?

Cool. Thanks! Not that I need this at the moment (don't think I have anything on VHS that I don't own on DVD) but it might be cool to see what a VHS image would look like on my SmartTV using this HDMI adapter.

I have only recently made the hop to smart TV's, and bought a cheap adapter from TEMU to test the idea. It works, but there is a very noticeable image quality downgrade for VHS. Also, smart TV's make my perfectly good DVD players obsolete, I put their signal through the HDMI apapter and they downgrade the image quality ALOT. Annoying, I have several good quality CD/VHS/DVD players that have years of life in them, that will need a legacy TV to operate.

Maybe someone has experienced better results with a high quality adapter?

Garage sales. People getting rid of older TV's, DVD/VCR players for a buck. Streaming TV doesn't allow one to dvr Magnum/Rockford File reruns, so one is forced to sit thru commercials. So I tape them on
my VCR. By the way, if you run across unopened, wrapped in plastic VCR tapes, especially of classic movies, buy them, collectors will shell out.
Yes I also have a modern Smart TV.

Thank you. Not sure I have.quite the eye for detail as many of the forum members, but I love Magnum and enjoy reading about it here, so about time I tried to contribute!

Yes, I am hanging on to a couple of legacy flat screen TV's. I recently sold a load of vintage WWF (WWE) VHS tapes that I picked up for a song back when WWF had to change their name and were dumping WWF branded rental tapes in my market area. I was suprised how quickly they got snapped up. Have just used the money to buy the Magnum PI blue ray boxed set, will be here any day now
