If you are looking for a hi-def solution, this is not an option for you. It looks really bad with my favorite call of duty games. Overall, I think this is a good device if you want to use your lcd to watch vcd/dvd movies or play older game systems. this device is good considering its price when I got it for about $33. I am happy with it, but I will get another device to hook up my xbox360 to my lcd. I tried each of the available resolutions, but I don't see much changes between them. I use it to hook up my Dreamcast to my 19'' acer lcd monitor, it looks good on the screen, although not as good as I was expecting. I also tested it with my xbox360, and the graphics look crappy.
It comes with a power supply. I use a 900 mhz wireless transmitter with red and white RCA feeds from the Directv box.
I have all of the power supplies pluged into one protected power stick (except the directv box, as it needs constant power). The two wireless speakers and the subwoofer receive signals from the wireless transmitter.
Best price I could find. You will need another system for sound.
When I turn on the stick it all comes on. Size is about 4x6" Fairly easy menu for set up.I use a S-video cable from my Directv standard box to the device and hook up VGA connector from my old 19" CRT monitor to the device.
You can set the video ratio from the menu.Be aware it does not process sound.
Not only was I able to connect my PS2 to the monitor I also can connect my Direct TV satellite box to the monitor and use as a television. I was concerned if this would have good picture I connected it to a 23" Dell Monitor and it works very well.
They were very good in refunding my purchase price. I was attempting to hook up an ultrasound machine's composite video output to an LCD monitor. I could successfully hook up the ultrasound machine to a television, but on the monitor, using the converter, the picture would flicker and move from left to right continually no matter what video mode I chose.
Resolution of 1024x768 uses full screen. Output in 1440x990 is supported by device but actually fills only 80% of my monitor's screen; I can see full movie from DVD but only at 80% of monitor screen. I bought this device to connect a DVD player to my Dell monitor (native resolution of 1440x990). This device works satisfactorily.
