Works great for what it is
Works great. Easy installation inline, no cables needed. You have to play with the settings to find what works best for your application but the results are pretty good. I’m a CRT snob and got a game that was native LCD, this was a good compromise to get close to the same picture without having to replace the monitor.

    I've tried this on a Pandora's Box DX and the results were pretty good, but when I put this on my of ads 60 in 1 jamma cabinet it looked amazing. If you don't have a CRT but want that same look, this will do it. Some of the settings don't work on all screens but I ended up with good results on every screen I tried. Having the attached babble was very helpful. The other ones sold here don't seem to have that. If you already had a VGA cord connected to your board, it's ready to slip right in.

    I wanted to be able to throw scanlines on my screen for 'retro' style video games when playing on a PC monitor or HD screen where the emulator didn't have scanline options. I did need to buy a separate cable to convert RCA (composite AV) to VGA, but after hooking everything up, it worked just like it was supposed to. I had the option to turn on vsync (to brighten the screen slightly) to turn the scanlines On/Off and shift them slightly up or down. The scanlines aren't particularly dark. There is no full screen anti-aliasing option so the image doesn't soften, but it does improve the overall picture to look more like a CRT computer monitor from the early 2000's instead of an HD display with the crunchy pixels exposed for all to see. In other words, to look more authentic to the way the image was intended for sprite based games and graphics from the pre-HD era. While not a perfect solution and I have not messed with the RGB dials (requires a key or small flat screwdriver to adjust), it does the job and was worth it to me as a retro gaming enthusiast who doesn't always have access to a CRT screen when gaming on the go!

    This thing is incredible. It creates scan lines in two sizes and at different levels based on the settings you choose with buttons on the side. Makes anything look CRT appropriate, but without software having to work on top of your pc. I use it to play retro games and get it picel perfect.

    I tried 4 different scanline units and this was the only one that worked and did what I needed which was to insert scan lines into my 60 in 1 Arcade1up conversion. These scanlines make the picture appear to be more sharp and better looking.

    The case is nice with rounded corners, the vga cord coming out is a plus. The features on it seem pretty nice.

    Unfortunately, the one I received did nothing. Occasionally flipping a switch on it would get the picture to flicker once in response, but other than that the picture didn't change at all regardless of settings.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Increible, ideal para arcade de caja cerrada
    Reviewed in Mexico on May 5, 2024
    Puedes meterlo dentro de tu arcade y nunca tendras que moverle mas, no tienes que constantemente apagarlo o encenderlo pues no lleva electricidad a diferencia de la version HDMI. Me gustaron mucho las lineas que produce.

    OJO: Al principio me dio problemas pero no por la pieza, sino que mi mini-pc tenia salida vga pero la tarjeta de video no daba la resolucion correcta del monitor y salia descentrada. Compre un adaptador hdmi a vga y lo conecte en otro puerto de la computadora y listo.

    Reviewed in Mexico on September 25, 2023
    Adquiri este producto para usarlo con mi dreamcast ya que adquiri el cable VGA y para usarlo con un viejo monitor 4:3 que tenia en casa (HP vs17). Es muy facil de usar es solo conectar y ya, las opciones son pocas pero para mi punto de vista son suficientes, puedes modificar el tamaño de las scanlines y agregarle mas colores mediante los controles de RGB ( La verdad yo no uso esta opcion ya que en estos momentos estoy usando el generador con mi PC con un adaptador de HDMI a VGA). Si ustedes quieren agregarle un poco de nostalgia y tratar de ''Imitar'' como se miraba un CRT con resoluciones de 240p es un producto muy bueno. 100% recomendado. Les adjunte unas fotos tomadas con mi celular al monitor de algunos animes que estaba viendo en 4:3. La calidad varia en la imagen ya que algunos son vistos en plataformas de streaming y estas varian sus calidades.

    Es maravilloso. Se ve simplemente hermoso, vale cada peso que pagué por el. 100% recomendable. No creo que en las fotos se aprecie lo bien que se ve, te recomiendo que si vas a convertir desde HDMI, lo hagas con este convertidor ya que no estira la imagen y las líneas de escaneo se ven perfectas, otros conversores estiran la imagen y hacen que se deformen las líneas.

    En cuanto a mover los botones RGB del aparato yo recomiendo hacerlo mejor desde las opciones de color de la tarjeta de video del PC para mayor precisión.
