can u adjust the brightness conttrast sharpness gamma .....

and what is the output mode 640X480 or 800X600 or 1024X768?

my guess- 640x480, thats the monitor required, but who knows, maybe you can make it higher using the remote. THere isnt much info on this in the auction, but it looks like a nice tuner.

hmmm.... it looks like it was stolen from a hotel or something lol just kidding. Ask the seller for more specs and what brand/model is it. Looks good but need more info.

i m getting no response from the seller .. what if its a 640x480 and u can't adjust the brightness conttrast ..... will it still be good ? i know that some tuners can have 1024X768 resolution is this better what is the differance ?

so what u guys think ?

for the price its at right now, its definately worth it.
its best to have a tv tuner that has the same resolution as the native of your lcd panel, so if your panel has XGA (1024x768) than an XGA tuner is obviously better. But if your panel is only VGA (640x480) than wats the point of XGA anyway? Usually there is a brightness contrast adjustment, especially on the higherend models, with like 2 or 3 inputs and stuff.

dude, just get a PC TV card, thats what i did, you then have no problem, and loads of extra features, you can then plug in your playstation into the tuner card, so works great man, i use everything from my pc,

so when i wanna watch summut, i just plug my projecotor into ma pc, and shazam, i can watch tv, dvd, movie, search web, play ps2,
