4.0 out of 5 stars Easy and Affordable Solution, July 22, 2008

Bought this item when it was $50, and worth every dollar. I'm currently a student at a university, living in an apartment. I was hoping to find a way to use my 22" lcd as a TV for game consoles, as well as a TV. The product looks sleek and delivers exactly what it states it will. Sure, outputting from my PS3 at 720p doesn't look as sharp as it could on an hdtv, but its hundreds of dollars cheaper and gets the job done well enough.

PIP feature is very nice. Noticed that the stand doesn't really work when all the cables are attached; the weight tips it over. Not too much of a problem, I just lay it on its side.

One issue potential buyers may worry about is the quality out to the monitor through the VGA, or the quality of the audio through the unit out to speakers. Audio from my pc into the box, then out again to my speakers is not very good. Audio from the box (from a game console), however, out to speakers is crisp and good quality. VGA out from a PC to the monitor through the box is fuzzy. I just run a DVI connection out to my monitor, as well as the VGA and switch between the two.

In all, a good product for $50 and an easy solution to convert a PC monitor to a TV.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Device, July 19, 2009

I purchased this device to be able to turn an old lcd computer monitor into a stand-alone tv. For this purpose, the device is excellent. The device is simple to set up, easy to program, and produces an excellent picture with standard cable reception. The device has a small built in speaker that I have not tried, and although it may be adequate, I am using inexpensive, plug-in computer speakers, that, I believe, would give a more wide range sound.

I bought this a year ago for 50 bucks. Great converter allows me to play my ps2 (now ps3) on my computer monitor. Allows composite and YPBR Component hookups. Component looks so nice, the only thing I can think of as a negative is it's not HD compatible, but it works erfect as advertised. Also Great to convert your Monitor to watch television obiously (Standalone, no PC needed, just the monitor)
