I got this little box over an Extron to save some space and money. Been using it with my Steam Deck to play modern retro games (e.g. Sonic Mania, TMNT:SR, etc.) and am pleased with the results.
Very satisfied with the image and resolutions this little box can make. Works great with modern PCs if you keep its (and analog displays) limitations in mind:
- 1280x960 is a great resolution to use with this. It will make the text a little hard to read on a desktop but the even 2x 480i scaling will ensure the image looks crisp and even (especially for retro games and DVD/VHS rips). Plus everything will fit on the display in a desktop setting.
- Very minimal added input lag based on playing a few games.
- As mentioned by another poster it comes in PAL mode. I just pressed "down" then "left" until the signal started to change, then continued pressing left until it got into NTSC M mode once the correct setting was selected.
- Aluminum passively cooled case and only uses 5 watts of power, so its good to keep plugged in all the time

Great Converter After Quick Fix (GUIDE)
This is a great quality scan converter for the price! HOWEVER: the default setting is PAL. PAL does not work on US CRTs. So when you plug it in, the picture looks broken - but it's not. You just have to change the setting blind.Here's a guide how to fix :"Menu Button"-> SLOWLY (it lags a bit) press the "down arrow" 6 times-> click the "left" arrow up to 5 times to change the setting until you get a picture. (There are 5 NTSC/PAL settings.)IMPORTANT: The menu cursor is saved at the location you last had it. So, if 6 downs doesn't work, you may need to cycle through each setting. That means: "Down Arrow" > wait > Left a 5 times > repeat.Other than that - the picture quality is very good. It has minimal flicker, and loads of helpful effects. This is a powerful little unit!It's also sturdy as heck, being fully metal. But, being fully metal it gets hot. Place it somewhere cool if possible. Haven't had it overheat though.NOTE: If you have a Panasonic WJ-MX30 / WJ MX50 / WJ-MX10 / WJ-MX10 mixer this scan converter will *NOT* fix the chroma loss from digital signal issue. If you show luckily found this review - just buy an Extron VSC - it will work.
