Cash Converters Computer Monitor

Since I got my recent computer in 2013, I've been trying to get an output to my TV using the normal composite output, which the video card sadly doesn't have. (Although S-Video is an option for my TV as well, it sometimes doesn't detect it properly.) After having tried 3 other VGA to composite scan converters, I thought I would try this Gefen scaler and use the HDMI output on my video card. And it seems I made the right choice at last! While the previous scan converters suffered with a somewhat stuttery PAL output, the Gefen scaler isn't really all that bad at it. It is a little bit stuttery here and there, but nothing to get in a fuss about. When I watched a TV show using it, it wasn't noticeable at all. The image quality is pretty fine, and like it promised, it gives you a choice of resolutions. You'd probably want to stick to about 1024 768 pixels to read stuff from your computer, or otherwise it gets too tiny for your television. I tried both the S-Video and composite outputs, and they were both very good. I also tried it with my XBOX 360, and it worked fine with that too. The underscan setting is just right for my TV, if you want to get the whole image on your screen without anything cropped. It was nice to see that the power supply works from 100 to 240 V, and it also came with a set of Australian style pins, which I was happy to use! (It also had USA, British and possibly European ones too.) The metal case seems rugged and the screw in style HDMI plug is a good idea to keep it from being pulled out. All in all, it seems very well made, and it looks pretty nice as well.

Love the computer so far but never got the monitor.

I'm loving my new computer. This case is just what I wanted, but keep in mind that you have to compromise, or cash out to get every feature. There is not a lot of space on the inside for cable management, so you may benefit from finding a PSU with shorter cables, or going for custom sleeves. Also, if you don't spring for a seriously tiny PSU, there won't be any space to install a case fan - I have a form factor PSU and with the cables attached it barely fits on the mounting. Heat is not a huge deal either way due to the vents on all sides of the case. Make sure there is enough clearance on each side (about 4mm) so the fans on your equipment can move air. it'll also reduce the noise.

It's quite useful. Attached it to computer and monitor and it worked.

I have other converters (Blackmagic Mini Converters and AJA HA-5) and the MD-HX is far better than them all. It's at the same price range of them but extremely more powerful. Totally worth it!

For so little cash .... Protect your camera !

Qaulity Cable, do not know why I was using converters (1/4 to 1/8) when this cable was available.

Get clear pictures from using these converters.

Hooked it up as a second monitor on my new computer. Worked right away and I'm happy with it.

Works as I expected to connect my computer to the monitor.
