I've tried several converters/adapters but this is the only that is able to convert a 1024x768 60hz signal to 480i for consumer CRTs.

Very easy to use and was able to attain a super clear picture from VGA input off of a Sega Naomi arcade board. Menu and settings button layout is nice and simple, with the on screen display menu clear with large bright letters. Had to look up specific settings in an online manual but that wasn't hard to find.

Perfect For Arcade Converstions
Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2020
Verified Purchase
I have a classic real arcade and wanted to convert a VGA signal to 15hz arcade CRT monitor. This works absolutely *perfectly*, allowing me to convert to a full-fledged custom MAME cabinet. I searched forums and YouTube for months, saw many recommendations and finally took the plunge and bought it. I can not recommend this enough. It's so easy and flawless to set up and far beyond all my expectations.

Used to display PC signal onto a 15kHz CRT: Works but not so great.
Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2021
Verified Purchase
Used this on my Wells-Gardner K7000 15kHz monitor for a PC arcade setup. The adapter's harness wire that plugs into the monitor chassis was incompatible so I had to cut one end off and attach the proper molex connector. Overall the adapter worked but the picture was slightly blurry, mainly because my PC output 480p and up and could not down-res. The biggest factor as to why I wouldn't recommend this product for a PC arcade setup is the input delay the adapter adds is very large, making some games that require tight precision unplayable. I use this now mainly for testing color signals on the CRT.

It will convert a VGA signal to a 15khz 240p signal for an arcade monitor with acceptable quality
Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2020
Verified Purchase
I have a couple arcade cabinets; my vertical cabinet has a vision pro monitor. It has been running a 486-66 with an arcadevga video card, but the computer was starting to crash, so I looked for a way to switch over to a more modern setup. This board allowed me to run pretty much any vga signal from 640x480-1024x768 and convert it for the arcade monitor; you'll need to run that off the RGBS pins, so prepare to make a cable. Also the quality is poor at 640x480 and 800x600, but was "acceptable" at 1024x768. It's not nearly as nice as driving the display directly, but it DOES allow for me to have a very modern solution with no moving parts I.E. fans. The manual is unhelpful, but basically if you connect the wires correctly (red, green, blue, ground, sync) it works, doesn't need any fiddling to save or adjust settings for boot. Basically this is the cheapest and simplest way to use an authentic arcade CRT with a modern emulator if you are willing to sacrifice some output quality.

Fonctionne bien, mais amélioration possible
Reviewed in Canada on December 8, 2022
Verified Purchase

J'ai testé son fonctionnement à partir d'un PC Linux avec signal 640x480 (excellent), 800x600 (correct) et 1024x768 (compression de l'image assez flou... mais normal).

le signal vers la sortie RCA et S-VIDEO fonctionne très bien. Pas encore eu la chance de le tester vers le signal RGB (CGA) d'un vieux moniteur d'arcade mais je suis certain que le signal sera bien fonctionnel.

La seule chose que j'aurais aimé possible depuis le menu de configuration est la possibilité d'ajuster le "H-H-POSITION et V-POSITION" en plus du "H-SIZE et V-SIZE". Il est possible de réaligner ces valeurs depuis le moniteur TV, mais parfois pas possible d'arriver à un ajustement parfait.

Einfach 31khz Quelle Anschließen und per S-Video, Fbas oder RGB an den TV. Läuft erstaunlich einfach aber leider ist das RGB Bild etwas verwaschen da 480i statt 240P ausgegeben wird. Das macht der GBS-Control besser, aber leider ist dieser wesentlich komplizierter und läuft nicht mit X68000.
