Comments on: Upscale Your Game Consoles Up To 1080p http://www.racketboy.com/gamerooms/2006/11/upscale-your-game-consoles-up-to-1080p.html Keeping Your Classic Gaming Lifestyle Up To Date Mon, 22 Mar 2010 02:27:32 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: elvis http://www.racketboy.com/gamerooms/2006/11/upscale-your-game-consoles-up-to-1080p.html/comment-page-1#comment-14419 elvis Fri, 31 Aug 2007 22:11:50 +0000 http://www.racketboy.com/rheft/gamerooms/2007/02/upscale-your-game-consoles-up-to-1080p.html#comment-14419 This article needs a complete re-write. The original site got the facts completely wrong. God forbid someone should buy one of these expecting it to be an upscaler when it's merely a YCrCb->RGB/VGA tanscoder, and nothing else. These are great for plugging Component-output-only consoles into PC or high-res arcade monitors. But they don't do anything more outstanding than that. This article needs a complete re-write.

This device takes a 480p, 720p, 1080i, or 1080p signal and outputs it to VGA. That is its only purpose. It is primarily meant for people like me who find it more convenient or/and affordable to use a PC monitor. It does not do any upscaling. In fact, it does not even support 480i, but does have an "EasyView" feature that gives a very out of proportion interlaced image. This feature comes in handy when you need to go through a menu in order to switch from 480i to a progressive resolution. You’ve got it all wrong.

I connect it to my Sony fw900 24 inch VGA Monitor, and the results are impressive. The quality of the build, however, leaves a lot to be desired. It is made of very cheap feeling plastic, and one of my buttons has been stuck since arrival. I have to fiddle with my power button every time I turn it off or on just to get it to work. Shipping is out of China, so I have been hesitant to send it back for repairs. For now, though, I'm keeping my fingers crossed, because when I can actually get the thing turned on, it works well. Caveat emptor. I own one of these, and I have been mostly impressed with the quality of the video. I connect it to my Sony fw900 24 inch VGA Monitor, and the results are impressive.

If you put 720p in you get 720p out. Put 480p in you get 480p out. The marketing blurb says nothing about upscaling either. I know all this stuff because I actually have one.
