Computer Monitor And Video Card Combo Under 700

My first ground loop from computer audio card to powered monitor speakers was corrected by plugging the monitors in to the same outlet as the computer. Then I upgraded my video card to a much more powerful one and the buzz came back when the video card was churning. Back to the internet to find a solution and this product seemed to be my best bet. It worked like a charm, the buzz is gone again and I don't hear any degradation in sound quality. Highly recommend.

My MacBook Pro video card died meaning either spend $700 replacing the logic board (and replace a failing SSD) or look for other options. Luckily the Mac Mini could work for my situation. Super easy setup I was up and running in minutes with my backup/restore.

Used for a second monitor with my GeForce video card. Very satisfied.

From 1050 GTX Video card to u2415 monitor ... perfection!

We needed this to connect our 2nd monitor to the video card. Works very well.

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.

I just took a couple of these on a trip to Chile (Rapa Nui and Patagonia). Under heavy use and tough conditions (cold, wet and humid with serious condensation), the cards performed flawlessly. No issues whatsoever. No noticeable lag when storing large numbers of photos during focus stacking with Nikon Z8. Also, with the right card reader and computer, uploading photos is extremely fast. A well made card. Highly recommended!

Under $5, how could you go wrong? Thank You!

Good solution to connect an older monitor to a newer video card.

Use this in my home for a 650W PC, monitor, modem and router. Under this load, it shows that I can run off batteries for an hour. Impressive! I like the surge protection features, too.
