 Value for money (if you want to play DVDs from PC) October 30, 2008
I'm happy with this purchase. The picture quality over 800x600 resolution is not good, and even at 800x600 is not great for working on the PC. But it is fine for playing regular DVDs on the PC and displaying in on a large TV. I use it for playing my region 2 DVDs from the UK.

No fancy stuff, it just does what it's made to do. Video looks fine, so if you would like to turn your computer into a media center, this product is the way to go. Also works well with slide shows.
If you plan on replacing you monitor with a TV, do NOT get this product for the fact that text is blurry. Websites are hard to navigate and forget word processing.
Also note that is product is sensitive- any bump will cause the picture to cut out for a second, so put it somewhere it where it won't be in the way. Sometimes (Maybe once every 4 months) I need to tap on the box because there is no picture on the screen.
 As good as it could be on a TV January 30, 2008

I was able to get the converter to work right out of the box ( I just had to restart my computer with the converter plugged in so my laptop computer would recognize that a VGA cable was plugged in to the back). The device works fine, I watch movies from netflix without a problem at at all. This product works as intended, it deserves 5 stars, but here's why people give it a low rating: This product converst your VGA image to TV standard (which can have 1/4 of the pixels of your monitor!!) So everything WILL LOOK LESS SHARP THAN YOUR MONITOR, INCLUDING WRITTING. I've played QUAKE, watched movies and looked at my wedding pictures on my TV. Letters on the screen are a problem though, on my internet explorer zoom (lower right corner of your window), I had to set it to 150% to be able to read the writing on the netflix website, this is expected though, based on the TV's image resolution, and not a defect of the product. If you expect better results, buy an HD tv, then your fonts will be legible at the normal size. Also, setting your resolution to 800x600 makes your screen the same aspect ration of your TV screen (4/3) and makes your images not distort distorted.

I bought this device so I could use my 42" Plasma as a monitor in my front room. I hooked the unit up exactly as the easy to read instructions outlined using the provided S-Video cable and it worked the first time. I did have to make some adjustments to the screen setting for size and sharpness but that was to be expected. The only complaint I have is that when I change inputs on the TV and then come back to the input that the converter is attached to I have to adjust the screen size one tick on the converter so that the PC tool bar shows up at the bottom. The picture is good though. I did watched a movie from Netflix Watch it Now and it looked pretty good. It was not HD quality of course but it was clear and crisp with no wierd anomallies, or grainyness. I was looking at the more expensive converters, but thought I would give this one a chance first. So far it was a good choice.

I was looking to play some video games from my laptop to my TV. I'm pretty computer and electronic savvy with things like this.... However, right when I got it, I set it up, turned it on and..... Nothing but the color lines of the converter... and flickering of my laptop screen (which was extremely hard to make out), The display is not good for the weak of stomach... I tried to adjust the screen on the converter to clear it up but that didn't make any difference... There was no software that came with this, suppose to be plug and play.... Well for me its plug and flicker... I can't believe I wasted my money on this thing. Maybe it's because it's a laptop. I'll try with my main PC and some other systems I have to see if it works there and do a 2nd review. So far for the LAPTOP, (which is what I wanted it to work on), this product and a complete waste of money, and may just sit in the closet as a dust collector.

****New rating 4 of 5****
I had an ealier low rating for this product, well I did finally get the product to work and it looks good on the television screen. Here's what you'll need to do. Set your laptop or PC to the 800X600 resolution next plug in the converter, make sure all other cables are pluged in as well (and definately remember to plug in the USB cable into the laptop or PC that you are using, otherwise it WON'T work), then reboot your laptop/PC. After your PC reboots the screen should display on your Television. Hope that helps all those that had tons of trouble with this. But that is what I did and it's working as designed. No software needed just do the things above and you will be set. Other wise goole "TV OUT" and your PC/laptop brand and it should give you some links on how to setup your PC to display out to a TV using a converter box.
