Summary: 5 Stars
I have bought this item and i really enjoyed it because I got it to connected through a projector box and its picture has a good qualityCustomer Review: Does exactly what it says it will do, this is not a HD converter
Summary: 4 Stars
Thankfully this product worked instantly out of the box. I was also relieved that there are position adjustments, so that an off center image can be centered by this box and the monitor. Some boxes force you to only use the monitor to adjust the image, which is not a great solution.
The image quality is a little bit weak when using the RCA jack, but that is to be expected. I always use component connections for my PS2, so it was a bit jarring to get thrown back to the bad RCA connection.
Edit - Now that I am using an S-video cable there is significant improvement over the picture quality. I would have much preferred component cables connections, however given that this is not a true HD converter, and the low cost, it is somewhat understandable.
An excellent, dependable, small and functional unit.
Customer Review: A reasonable solution
Summary: 4 Stars
The static on this device on the audio line is intolerable in my opinion. However, newer computer stereo systems, as well as radio shack, have a converter that goes from left right audio to 3.5mm stereo jacks. That solved the static problem by bypassing the device all together with some creative cabling.
As for the video quality, it's not too good if your using a composite device. You'll imediately notice a flicker on straght lines and text that gave me a headache. However, if you are using an s-video cable (which is what I use for my ps2) then the picture is decent. Not the best product on the market, I'm sure, but a functional solution if your like me and don't always have a TV available.
