No static at all! Yay! That's pretty much all you can hope for. Just keep in mind, you cannot get stereo sound with this for your PS1/2/3. This works for all versions, because PlayStation was kind and smart enough to keep adapter plugs the same. As for the picture it's still very high quality. This adapter isn't as "messy" as using converter boxes or those gamestop adapters that feel the need to include every single other console's adapter too. The sound should not be an issue though since it's still very clear and nice, unless we're talking about mono/stereo vs surround sound. In which case you might what to use components, avis, or whatever other kind of cable type for better sound. . . But you should be fine without surround sound since TVs these days have ways to alter sound for better output. (Unless it's like a Toshiba or something, which are notoriously mediocre for sound)
