(More customer reviews)This little box does exactly what it says it does, convert component video to VGA. It also conveniently converts left/right RCA audio to a stereo mini jack. It accepts 480i/p, 720p, and 1080i/p video signals and outputs them for VGA in their native resolution. For example 720p is 1280?720, 1080i is 1280?1080(uses non square pixels and is still a widescreen format), 1080p is 1920?1080(1080i would look correct at this resolution). Make sure your display is capable of these resolutions.
Like I said, does what it says, nothing more, will not scale so if you are running a SXGA monitor like me or any non-widescreen ratio the image is going to be shrunk horizontally. I'm running an HDTV receiver and PS3 on my monitor with this device and am very pleased with the image quality. The receiver allows me to select a 4:3 screen in 720p mode so I get close to correct scaling with that. PS3 assumes 16:9 for 720p and up; so scaling with a 5:4 monitor setup like mine comes down to the formatting from the actual devices.
It works great to run a monitor off of component devices, it should be able to convert component to VGA for projectors without component inputs but I have not tested this.
Overall, its image is superb; it is solid, looks to be of quality construction; very small size; just sits there and works. Only complaints are having to sometimes reset it after swapping inputs(although it has never dropped the video after you get the initial picture), the audio out jack on my unit is a little crooked and tight (all the RCA inputs are nice, though, and so is the VGA which has the threads to secure the cable), and the AC adapter takes up 2 spaces on a power strip.
Do your research, this is a fine product for the right application.
