This product replaced a cheaper model we had for our Halloween Light Show which involved projection. On our big opening night the OLD box failed us by not allowing the video to go to full screen automatically. (Very Frustrating) When this product arrived the NEXT DAY I plugged it in and off it went. Producing a VERY high quality picture on a projector. We are Customers for Life! Thanks Startech! You saved the day! Yes this product is more expensive but.... You get what you pay for. That saying rings true with this product! :)

Style: Composite / S-VideoVerified Purchase

OK, I'm in the middle of a project, and I don't have time to write this. Honestly. But I felt compelled to literally drop everything and do this. Let me preface this by saying I've tried a dozen other VGA--> S-Video solutions, and, in a word, they sucked. Washed out color, scan problems, resolution-limited inputs, etc, etc. Suffice it to say, I did not have high hopes. If you're reading this, you have a need for S-Video. I do too, and that's our business, nobody needs to be 'judging' us for it. If you have that need, read on.
My Setup:
Multi-Media PC w/ nVidia GTX-590 feeding a standard monitor @ 1200x960 on one DVI output via DVI-->VGA adapter, and a 55" LCD on the second output, via DVI-->VGA-->HDMI @ 1900x1080.
The 55" is above a pool table in the basement, and I use it to run music videos, youtube, as well as music-driven visuals, etc.
Converters and all, the output looks fine, no visible issues/artifacts.

The Need:
When I built the house 20 years ago, I ran s-video cabling and distribution amps to every tv location in the house (there are many). Yes, I know, but it is what it is.
I originally used a video card w/ an S-Video out, and life was generally good.
W/ the upgrade to the 55", however, S-Video was not an option, for so many reasons.
All I wanted was a way to 'pick off' an S-Video signal from the 2nd nVidia output, and send that to the rest of the house (for parties, etc), while still viewing uncompromised 1080p on the 55". As I mentioned, the other stuff I tried looked miserable.

The Verdict:
With a 1900x1080 input, and ZERO fiddling/configuration, the Startech output looks BETTER than I have ever seen from any of the VGA cards w/ dedicated S-Video outputs (and I've tried many), let alone the converter boxes. The color is saturated, the downsampling/aspect ratio is perfect. The graphics are crisp. Crap, this is too good, I'm waiting for something to go wrong, lol. Much like Apple (in the distant past...)

IT JUST WORKS.

Amazing.

If I had one criticism: It should have a VGA passthrough. It is on a VGA Y-Connector in my setup, not a deal-breaker.

Real quality picture as good as the desktop monitor.composite video sent to large screen TV. Worth the money over cheaper units.

Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2017

Style: Composite / S-VideoVerified Purchase

Great unit, works out of the box. The ONLY drawback to this design is, it is NOT A PASS THROUGH VGA cable design. Having only 1 VGA connection to the computer does not allow you to set up the video selections on your desktop monitor. You have to add a 1 to 2 VGA adapter allowing simultaneous viewing of the outgoing signal. In my case, I use the desktop monitor with a 1 in 2 out VGA splitter with audio. eg. SIIG 1x2 VGA & Audio Splitter - video/audio splitter - 2 ports. I have perfect streaming pix and audio on my TV now from "free" sources. Even with the lack of VGA "pass through" connections, the cheaper units with that feature are terrible. I bought one at 1/4 the price of this one. JUNK. This has a plug and play hookup with no on-screen menus. Well worth the money.

Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2016

Style: Composite / S-VideoVerified Purchase

I looked closely at other well-reviewed and cheaper adapters but didn't like the limited input resolutions they listed. The last thing I wanted was a device that made me lower the resolution for the display built into my laptop, even though the video output has its own settings. (Had that happen with other monitor/adapter combinations.) This delivers on its promise of automatic processing - it produced a very good, clear image on the TV with no change in resolution settings on the laptop.
Lettering is hard to read, but it makes images, even ones of modest resolution, look great on my Sony WEGA flat-front CRT. Online streams that normally look their best filling only half my laptop screen come out even better, bigger on the TV. This is using the yellow RCA connector.
4 stars because I wish it had its own image positioning adjustments. It shows nearly all of the desktop image, pretty well centered, but when you use a video player, browser, or a still image viewer in full-screen mode the results vary from maybe one to three inches of wasted space on the right hand side. The fact that the desktop image goes edge to edge on screen proves the TV is dutifully showing whatever the Startech is sending.
But it's hard to beat how easily it hooked up and worked immediately, or the very good image quality produced. Recommended.

Finally, a solution that actually works

Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2013

Style: Composite / S-VideoVerified Purchase

After attempting to use some of the cheap solutions for getting composite video (and failing miserably) from my MacBook to an old Sony tube TV, this one worked flawlessly right out of the box. Yes, it is a pricey solution but if you need this capability do you want to suffer trying to use a cheap piece of junk that either fails out of the box or has lousey quality video, or spend a bit more and get something that really works and provides solid video quality? I use this to run DVDs from my MacBook and display them on my Sony tube TV in the basement while I run on my treadmill. The video quality is as good as any decent DVD player would provide to a TV of this type, and it is just a matter of connecting the audio out and video ports on the Mac (I do use an Apple DV to VGA adapter cable because my Mac does not have a VGA port on it. You might find a cheap DVD player and use that instead of a solution like this, but I was interested in having the capabiltiy to project video out of my MacBook in general and now I have that and my DVD video too; and important as well, I can run Netflix to the TV through my laptop too, and a DVD player isn't going to give you that capabiity. Final note, this is not a solution for working with text on the TV screen. At least with my Sony TV, the resolution is not high enough to provide decent font resolution. You can read it but it isn't something you would want to look at for long.

StarTech PC to TV Video Adapter

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 3, 2019

Style: Composite / S-VideoVerified Purchase

Works well. You simply connect in the cables, it has very strong sturdy sockets, it is a little unit. You press a button and the red light goes green, and it starts up in a couple of seconds, and you get an absolutely perfect screen, hi-resolution on your TV. No diminution in quality can be seen, in fact it appears better than the original using a monitor, and on the TV it appears better.

This is the top of the range model. I haven't used the cheaper models, but I have heard by all reviews of those cheaper models that they flicker, need tuning in, don't appear lined up properly, are full of static interference. The cheaper you get, the worse the picture is. It is worthwhile purchasing this startech model, as you eliminate all those problems in one go. It does PAL or NTSC by a switch on the box. You may want to obtain a VGA splitter (VGA to 2xVGA with power supply), as it does not have a pass through VGA signal, so you can't also have the picture on the monitor at the same time as the TV. VGA splitter's are very cheap to buy. This is because if you want to operate the computer by the old TV, you can't read the text without pressing CTRL + - to increase the size of the Windows text. This is not the circuits fault, it is because the TV is only about 640x512 resolution, so even when the box has perfect converted the picture, the TV itself can't display fine resolution above 640x512. What it does is convert from a resolution of about 1920x1200 to the nearest it can get at 640x512. All the colour codes are worked out by the circuit, saturation, hue, brightness, to give the most perfect picture. If you read all the other reviews for the lesser models you'll see the problems they have. It is worthwhile getting this model if you don't want such problems.

It has 2 outputs, composite video Yellow, and Svideo. Both work perfectly. The yellow Video out when connected to a working TV Video In socket, produces a perfect picture instantly. However, I have another old TV where if you connect ANY video cable it always produces a black screen (i.e. an old TV that doesn't work properly), I am an electronics engineer who is always messing around doing tests that you shouldn't do, and I tried foolishly connecting the yellow lead from the startech box into the video in socket of this old TV, I kept it connected one minute (and there was no picture as there is no picture when I connect ANY video signal to this old TV, but I wanted to see if the startech box can PRODUCE a picture when you connect it to such an old Video In socket. Old VGA to PC converters from 15 years ago, have inbuilt circuit protection for if there is a short across 0V to 1V on the video out for a short time. However on the startech model the result was it blew the yellow video out inside the startech box. It must have shorted 1Vp-p to OV. So the Startech's video out circuit can't take too much electrical strain across low resistance output loads and doesn't have any protection circuits inside, (that old circuits from the past had) and must contain very delicate microchips. Therefore only connect it to Working TV video In sockets. Thankfully the startech model also provides SVideo. I connected it to this instead and it worked. If you have an another old TV that has a yellow socket Be careful not to connect the yellow cable to a TV that doesn't work, even for a short time. Circuits today are far more delicate than the ones of the past.

Connecting using the yellow video as I have stated, if connect to a proper undamaged Video In socket, will produce a perfect picture. Using Svideo, I think it generates Red Green Blue video signals and the picture is slightly better. You can connect the Svideo into a dvd recorder if you do not have Svideo on a TV, and then send the signal through a scart cable to your TV. So the startech box provides this backup video out if you damage one of the outputs by misuse. Hence it has been built by proper engineers, as only engineers add a backup circuit.

The power supply comes with it, and it connects to the mains and generates 5V straight into the box.

The circuit is cleaver in that it actually recognizes the signal in, i.e. e.g. in PAL it recognizes whether it is PAL BDGI or whatever, or the same with the NTSC type, without need of any selection by the user.

It must contain an extremely advanced Microcontroller running at around 40MHz, in order to convert this signal. Plus it must have a lot of onboard memory on Dynamic RAM chips, say about 256 Megs, in order to store the screen. It must also contain a very complex Video convertor chip. Hence ensure you take care not to short the outputs across the pins, and keep the circuit cool. It is quite heavy which proves it is advanced technology.

There are chips you can get AD722 AD723 MC13777, I don't know the exact codes, but the convert VGA to PC, and cost just a few dollars. These were made about 30 years ago, hence they produce a very fuzzy output, full of rolling and interference, as they were designed to convert VGA to PAL or NTSC or SECAM, and just that, i.e. no quality just a rough signal. Sadly, a lot of companies now are buying these chips and placing them in a box with loose socket connectors. These units are so cheap and they clain to convert your VGA monitor signal to a tv signal. Don't waste your money on these devices, you will be unable to see any picture at all.

On the mid range priced models (half the price of Startech's) you will find you have to adjust contrast, brightness on the TV, align the picture, and tune it in all the time before you start.

The startech model rectifies all these problems for you, using hi-tech moden microchips (which, as I've stated cannot take any circuit shorts due to their delicacy, i.e. a cheap circuit would have ancient chips which can take a lot of power and shorts. Just like an advanced pc, you cannot be rough with it, connecting it to old devices with basd sockets, like you can with old devices of the past. Also being so delicate in the microchips, make sure you do not short the mains supply, nearby, e.g. blewing a fuse, crackling at the connection of a monitor, or lightning, or e.g. kettle switch dodgy sparking. This could blew the delicate startech circuit.

It operates with a wide range of resolutions. Working out itself how to do the different complex conversions. There is no signal more complex than the VGA signal if you have every studied its specifications, hence the box accomplishes a miracle conversion, particularly the extremely fast analogue to digital conversions necessary of the voltages in the signal. The screen is generated using an onboard computer and memory system. What you get on the TV is photographic quality, extremely sharp and crisp, absolutely no flicker, perfect colour intensities and hues.

It is a mastery of technology, well worth the money, and should work for years, if used properly with care.

The Startech model appears to me to be the same model as the Amberry model at the hitech company in America. And amberry has boxed it in a black box instead of grey and put the startech label on it in some kind of subcontract. Where there have been sales in Taiwan and various countries. The amberry model uses 3.3V, the startech is an older model about 6 years older, when it was still 5V. The amberry model, is more expensive than startech. But as far as I can see, the startech model does all the same functions as the amberry unit, same resolutions. Do not be fooled by the resolutions that lesser cheaper VGA to PC circuits claim to do. This model really DOES do those resolutions, in the end you get what you pay for. If you want a clear sharp picture with depth and charm of colour for old televisons, get this model.

Much better quality than competition.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 11, 2013

Style: Composite / S-VideoVerified Purchase

In the past I have purchased other such converters and the build quality has been very cheap and poor. The startech converter has much better than anything else I have to used. It feels more solid and the quality of the video has been much better coming out of the composite side. I use it for a bespoke program that takes a video input from a pinnacle dazzle USB device and then overlays it with on the spot manually written translations. The output video is then used to send to another laptop for live video feeds along with some local projectors. The quality of the output feed is good enough to handle all of this. Highly recomended.

Good, stable picture - easy setup

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 30, 2013

Style: Composite / S-VideoVerified Purchase

The converter is used here to connect video from a graphics card with no TV-out to an old CRT TV.
Picture quality is considerably better than average TV-out from graphic cards, viewed on a CRT. The crispness of the picture is not quite up to that of a DVD or a satellite TV broadcast with good SD source material, directly viewed from its player. Still, I find the picture good enough to be enjoyable. And when the source material is less good (Internet TV) then the picture quality is limited by that, not by this converter.
The picture is absolutely stable: no jerking, wobbling, banding, problems.

Setup consists of connecting the parts with appropriate cables (only multistandard AC adapter included).
The unit adjusts itself automatically to the video resolution the computer uses (inside given limits).
There is a switch for compensating the TV:s overscanning, in my case, this compensation was not quite enough, noticeable when viewing computer screen, not viewing fullscreen movies.

I use the computer with the converter solely for viewing different media, local and from Internet, on the CRT. Once the media is playing, all is well. But to be able to handle the computer painlessly with the CRT as screen, I increased the size of icons and text on the computer till I got a clear and easily readable interface, viewed on the CRT.

Summary: This converter is better than expected, and I'm very pleased with it.

I wanted a device to transfer video files from my laptop (Toshiba with 2.4GHz i3 processor) to a video recorder.
I bought a cheap unit to convert Vga to composite and it did quite a good job but dropped frames.
This one cost four times as much, does as good a job and drops just as many frames.
