Hi, just wanted to know if anyone has used anything like this before.
I used one of THESE and it's bloody awful! Component > to HDMI
Picture is grainy nothing like native component quality. I wanted to use this to play my old games consoles like the PlayStation 2 and Xbox 1 on my PC monitor.
I'm using THIS Asus monitor.
And the component cables I'm using are both official for PlayStation 2, as well as for one for Xbox 1. No 3rd party cables.
I decided to try this converter device on my LG LCD TV, still grainy video but not as bad as using it on the PC monitor. Put it directly into component on the LCD TV and no problem.
However I intend to use the consoles on the PC monitor. Otherwise I wouldn't bother with the converter and use the component direct on the LCD TV.
I also noticed the LCD TV is 120hz whereas the monitor is:
Analog Signal Frequency : 24~92 KHz(H)/ 50~85 Hz(V)
Digital Signal Frequency : 24~92 KHz(H)/ 50~85 Hz(V)
I have no idea about signal frequencies but I'm assuming the 120hz is why the visuals are less grainy on the LCD TV to that of the monitor.
Anyhow Is there any decent converters out there?? Anyone personally use such a thing on their monitor that works great?
My monitor only has VGA, HDMI and display port. Maybe a converter to VGA is better suited?
Please advise, thanks
