No Problem!! 


Did you find any of the stats better in one AUCTION than the other? 



DeeOK it looks like #9 may work as would all the other active units but as I mentioned, the image quality cannot be guaranteed.

We use this type of device professionally but the units we use are about 10 times more expensive. The reason is the image quality. We need clean and stable images. Many lower priced units are not capable of solidly converting from a higher scan rate (VGA to a lower rate (NTSC) and providing a non flickering image.  It may be that our requirements are more stringent than yours as we use our systems to provide archival recordings and we also feed the computer data into the antenna head end in hotels so during conventions, guests can stay in their room and tune into a presentation or play back the recoding of an  EARLIER meeting.

These units look as though they will require adjustment to obtain the most stable image but for around 40 dollars, they will probably suit your needs.So basically all the links I showed  from Ebay will all work? Just thought one may have been slightly better than another. ??  Yeah,  am just looking to watch HULU.COM on my 6 year old SONY 52" TV. No big deal if it's a bit grainy.


THANKS AGAIN!!The last batch of active converters all claim the same specs so any one should work. The problem (if any), will not be a grainy picture, but rather a slight flickering of the image or faint herringbone lines in the TV image.

 Any artifacts or distortion in the TV image will be quite noticeable given the size of the screen.

Best of luck with this. let us know how the image looks when you get it all set up.

BillGee, Bill. Now you have stumped me. (which is not too hard....lol)  Wondering if the flicker will be too annoying to view. I know u can't answer that but I am just thinkin' out loud.


Crap....Just thought of another issue. I find some HULU.COM and other FREE TV SITES play fine but the sound does not match the peoples lips. That drives me NUTS!! I guess those same shows will do the same on the big screen. What a bummer. I really wanted one of the perks of my new netbook to be able to do the TV thing. My mom would have loved to watch some old tv shows (Gilligans Island, Bewitched, A-Team etc.) on the TV. The netbook is 10.2" screen and much too small for her to see.

Thanks for all the input. Maybe I will just order one and shoot the dice.


STAY WELL!!


DeniseThat effect of unsynced video and AUDIO is part of the problem. Its called latency and requires a high quality circuit design and components to compensate.  Some of the more expensive units start at around a thou and the top of the line runs about 10 thou. These very inexpensive units are usually used for playing older video games, or USING the TV as just a bigger computer monitor where synchronized audio is not an issue.

If you go to YOUTUBE and look at some uploaded videos you will see the same thing. They can be off by SEVERAL frames.

In broadcast video you are looking at 30 frames per second so if the converter is slow you can see how far out of sync the audio and video can get.
