Customer Reviews:

quite handy! [Posted on 2007-11-26]
purchasing this product was prompted by 1. my television set dying and 2. my mom upgrading her pc which included a new cinema display lcd and so had her old one to spare... since i don't use a tv for anything other than watch dvd's and play video games i used the opportunity to seek out an analogue video to vga converter. after checking out a variety of products online and off i ordered the v2vpro since it seemed to be the least fussy and the clear winner in terms of price (others were upwards of $150 or so)... considering the inner workings of analogue to digital video signal conversion (and how very wrong it can go) this little device does a rather good job! the default settings left a bit to be desired but after some tweaking using the on screen display menus, i adjusted the brightness, contrast, saturation, resolution until the output from my playstation 2 was quite satisfactory... so, about $40 and a few days of waiting (the seller automatically upgraded to priority first class at no additional cost, which was a nice surprise) my mission of replacing my tv and granting a second life to a secondhand lcd panel was accomplished.

Nice little unit, and the price is right! [Posted on 2008-02-05]
I had purchased a DVD recorder/player/TV tuner that I mistakenly assumed would output to a VGA monitor that I wanted to connect to it. Anyhow I should have realized that would not be the case. So of course I started looking for a unit that would take the component output from the unit and convert it to VGA. I was pleasantly surprised to find the V2VPro at such a reasonable price. It was shipped to me way before I thought I would receive it, and it works great.

What to do with that CRT? [Posted on 2008-04-01]
Turn it into a video display of course.
I replaced my old 21" Trinitron TV with a 21" NEC CRT display. This amazing little box takes the crummy composite video signal from my DVD player and bumps it up to 1024 x 768 resolution non-interlaced. Wow! No scan lines. It also takes an s-video signal but I haven't tried that yet.

It take a bit of fiddling to get the picture just right but the on-screen menus are easy to use. The picture looks slightly processed but in a good way. You will actually be able to read those tiny credits at the end of a movie. Best of all, its cheap.
