Not exceptional for Video or Games [Posted on 2003-04-16]
This is an ok video converter, but if you're looking to play video on your TV and have it look the same as it would on your computer, you'd probably be better off getting a nice video card with a TV-OUT port.(or just moving your monitor into the living room) The recommended use on the Startech website is presentations, which it would excel in if you have a large television. The problem with playing video on your PC to your TV it is that the picture 'folds' over itself every once in a while, like a flipbook with a couple pages missing every once in a while. The length of the cords that they include also remind me that I bought this thing for all the wrong reasons. Your television must only be six feet away from your computer(which is not true in the average home). The remote included is tiny(about the size of a letter opener) and the buttons are not easy to press. And believe me, you'll need the remote: every time you plug it in you need to adjust the V and H positions and stretches. Also it is a weak infrared remote, meaning you must practically be 5 feet away for it to give a signal. And forget about putting sound through, it's only for video. Also, when you hook your monitor up through the monitor port on this thing, it gives out a very degraded signal that makes your monitor look like it has a thin layer of fog and bars in front of it. But for the price its ok: it gives out crisp, full color conversions on your television and the fact that you need no software is a huge plus.
Easy setup and operation...few complaints [Posted on 2006-03-22]
I just ordered this and tried it out using my laptop and large screen projection TV in my subdivision clubhouse. It is the perfect solution to conducting training and powerpoint presentations without the need for an expensive PC projector. Easy setup and operation. Only complaint is the short monitor cable and composite cable. I highly recommend this product.
Excellent and impressive device [Posted on 2007-05-08]
I really expected less but is a nice piece of technology. Has more features than expected and the image stability is amazing.
Great for the price [Posted on 2008-02-28]
This unit is great if you don't want to add a card to your pc. I use it mainly for video from internet to a 32" TV. The picture is very sharp and clear. The size adjustments work very well. If your looking for very high resolution you may want to spend more mony on a pc upgrade or video card.
