4.0 out of 5 stars quite handy!, November 26, 2007

This review is from: MyGica V2VPro Video to VGA Converter / Video Switcher (Personal Computers)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for playing older games on your HDTV!, March 5, 2009

I bought this device because I wanted to play my older games (such as Dreamcast, Playstation 1 and 2, Nintendo 64, Genesis and SNES) on my HDTV. The problem was that my HDTV, like many HDTVs, has bad "game lag". Game lag occurs because your HDTV is busy converting older signals (like from RF, composite cables and s-video cables) into HD quality 480, 720, and 1080p. You might not notice it while watching a DVD movie, but try playing a fighting game or a rhythm based game and it'll be a frustrating bad timed mess.

This device does all the work, so your HDTV doesn't have to, and you don't have game lag. No more "you press the button on your controller and about half a second later your character reacts". Menu is easy to navigate, although a little slow. It works through a VGA cable, so make sure you 1) have a VGA port on your TV. 2)BUY a seperate 15 pin male to male VGA cable (this one doesn't come with it) and 3)make sure your TV can switch between normal and widescreen modes of display.

Mine can, and setting this device to 640 x 480 with S-video makes my PS1 and 2 games look great. So those frustrated that they can't play older games on their HDTV because of game lag, GET THIS DEVICE, it fixes that so you can play your games on any HDTV with a VGA port!

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice little unit, and the price is right!, February 5, 2008

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.
