AvailableChecked Jul 30, 2026ReActiveMicro Mini AV2HDMI Video Adapterby ReActiveMicro

Converts NTSC composite video and analog audio from an Apple II or Apple III to an HDMI display.

The adapter was in stock and backorderable for $45 on 2026-07-30. It was not tested or intended for PAL systems. Simultaneously connecting a CRT and this adapter requires a composite impedance-matched switch box or video may degrade or disappear. The package includes generic composite, HDMI, audio-adapter, and power cables, but not a computer-specific Commodore A/V cable.

AvailableChecked Jul 30, 2026RetroTINK-2X and 2X Proby RetroTINK / Mike Chi

Line-doubles standard-definition composite, S-Video, or component video for modern digital displays with no added latency.

The original RetroTINK-2X is a retired predecessor; the current 2X Pro was orderable for $139.99 on 2026-07-30. It accepts only 240p, 288p, 480i, and 576i and does not accept 480p or higher input. Supply the correct source-system cable, a digital video cable, and a 5 V / 1 A USB power source; a Micro-USB cable is included. RetroTINK warns that composite sources can produce low output and recommends S-Video or component when available.

AvailableChecked Jul 24, 2026Sophia 3by The Brewing Academy

Replaces an Atari 8-bit computer's GTIA with a modern video board offering DVI output and selectable color palettes.

The Atari 8-bit collection did not mark Sophia 3 sold out on 2026-07-24. A non-socketed computer requires desoldering the GTIA and fitting a 40-pin socket. Regular installations otherwise need a case opening or an exposed connector; the 600XL and 800XL can instead use model-specific PBI covers.
