which Video to VGA transcoders to use?

[snortonnorton]

I want to know what you guys think about using a Video to VGA transcoder if we use a lcd panel that is from a monitor.


I found one from Comp. USA online that is for around one hundred.

but someone in my apt. complex says he got a viewsonic one for only 80 bucks... but i can't find it for sale online (don't even try Best Buy or any place that has one in a store for pick up)

but what is your take on using one? is there any loss of image quality than using a pc?

do you recommend using a pc over this way?

I would reccomend the Vdigi Transcoder, its about 60, and it works really really well 🙂

damn, that's a really good price.

where did you buy it from?

thanks,

oh, the only input is component video.


that's why it's 60 bucks, the 100 dollar models have alot more types of inputs.


So i'd have to buy a new satellite reciever that has component video if i want to watch tv on it.


but at leas dvd players would hook up to it.

but i do like it, thanks man............ weird that you can only buy it from the manufacturer....
