HDSUNWSTDPC Laptop Composite Video TV RCA Composite S-Video AV in to PC VGA LCD Out Converter Adapter Switch Box Black

This device works perfectly with my Apple IIe, my Atari 800XL, as well as my Commodore 64, Commodore 128 and Commodore Plus/4. (Originally I bought a less expensive device that looks exactly like this one, but didn't work with my Commodores and had a terrible image with the Atari and Apple.)On my Apple IIe this device sometimes looks very bad, and sometimes has excellent color and monochrome text has consistent thickness and soft edges in both 40 and 80 columns. I'm not sure why it's inconsistent.On my Atari 800XL the colors are crisp and clean with the S-Video mod.On my Commodores, the S-Video image is great, with nice colors and brightness. "Jailbar" lines are faint on mine, but every C= is different. A Commodore S-Video cable with a 300 ohm resistor built in help to lessen the jailbars. (There are some photos in the reviews which show a line or rainbow at the top of the screen; I can only get this to happen if I quickly turned the computer of and on again. But if I turn it off and wait a moment for the screen to turn blue, then turn on the computer, I never see the rainbow line.)Just for comparison, this device has a hard plastic shell, screws on the bottom, the VGA IN is on the same side as the AV IN and SVIDEO IN ports, and it comes in a box. The knockoff device has a velvet rubber case, no screws, VGA IN is on the side by itself, and it comes in a bag.

shuts off when it gets too warm. when it works properly, it has a great picture..my unit is used for monitoring security camera.

Does what it is suppose to do and does it well. I only have two gripes. One is the power cord that comes with it is too short, only 3' so I have to use it with an extension. The other gripe is that I cannot adjust the aspect ratio, so 4:3 source looks stretched on my 16:9 monitor.

I just tried out this converter with my Commodore 64C, MSSIAH MIDI cartridge, and Retro Computer Shack audio/video cable. I am pleased overall. There is an unfortunate colored bar at the top of the blue menu screen, but the software is still usable with a modern computer monitor. The weird bar does not appear on the black background screen for the music instruments. Hooking it up with the composite cable produces a blurry image, but I was delighted to find that using the SVideo cable produced a very clear image which will suffice for my needs. Happy with it!

There’s not much with the directions but if you are at least a little text savvy you will understand what you need to know really based on the general diagram. I was using some retro gaming systems on a PC monitor with this in the picture quality it’s OK the screen quality is so so. I do like how this comes with extra cords for both types it did throw me off at the menu comes in what I think is Mandarin but if you keep hitting that button you will The first menu type without a number will be where you need to switch languages.
