I purchased one of these converters, and after hooking it up, discovered that I had a defective remote control, making the box completely useless. You have been warned! I have to ship mine back and swap it for a new unit.īy Rocket Scientist (Aurora, CO United States)Īvoid this item at all costs! Clearly a case of 'you get what you pay for', the low price should have raised a red flag. Impact Acoustics techs say there is NO WAY to reset the unit to factory specs, and without a monitor, you are flying blind in Menu-ville.
The image quality wasn't the best, (but I wasn't using S-video input) and as stated above DO NOT change the Display menu until you are SURE your monitor is compatible. There is no way to reset factory settings. The menu is graphically driven: IF you change the setting and it's incompatible with your display, YOU ARE OUT OF LUCK! Your display will say "out of range", and since the options menu needs a working monitor to display itself, NO MENU. The manual recommends adjusting the display settings to get a clearer image, but BEWARE!!!!! (see below)Ĭons: Aside from the menu button also functioning as the power switch, the unit's light weight puts it at the mercy of it's connecting cables. Pros: Out of the box worked fine, although with a blurry image. I haven't tried the others out there yet (not many available to choose from), but so far so good. Hint to manufacturer: adding a "video resizing" feature would help clear the picture more (option to change from 100% to 85% zoom - yes, it wouldn't fill the whole screen, but it would produce better overall images) Will play with the settings a bit more to adjust, but overall, it does what I need it to do :) not suitable for your display/monitor's capabilities - just let it sit for 10 seconds or so).Ĭonclusion: Video a bit blurry up close, but at a distance, can't tell the difference - I currently have an LCD wide-screen and the converter actually makes the video full-screen (has small artifacts on the side of the image, but overall not a problem). No reset button (though it does automatically switch back to a working resolution if you, by chance, choose a res. Also acts as a switch box (switch between PC and TV with the press of a button - pretty cool). Supports a lot of the standard VGA resolutions up to 1050. Pros: Hook up was easy enough - came with the standard cables (though, I needed an S-video cable - it usually produces better video output than composite). "It does what it says it's supposed to do, so I'm content.
