Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of ITV-900 PC to TV ConverterCustomer Review: Great for Video - can't wait to use it on a trip! Summary: 4 Stars
The Good:
It's affordable, small, light weight, simple, comes with everything you need for video (all video cables included. Note: you will need a headphone 1/8'' to red & white RCA cable to run your sound out to your TV - does not come with this). No power adapter needed (it gets USB power via your laptop or PC which is nice). High Quality AVI/MPEG full-screen video looks great (just keep in mind, the technology is RCA & S-Video so of course it's not going to look as good as Component and/or High Definition HDMI connections - it's going to look the same as if you hooked your DVD player to your television using an RCA (Yellow, Red, White) cable to it (pending the video quality you are playing on it)
The Bad:
This item does not do a great job displaying screen fonts, browsing files & folders, - and other basic computer stuff. Video looks great but if you are trying to work on your computer via your TV, this is not going to be an acceptable setup - again please keep in mind, you are converting a crisp clear VGA signal down to RCA cables... so you are going to lose a lot by nature of the technology. This really doesn't have anything to do with the unit's performance at all (as many reviewers on here seem to think).
Practical Uses:
The reason I purchased this unit is that it will be very convenient for watching movies in hotel rooms when I travel. I have a Micro-Laptop (Aspire One - great for travel) with tons of movies & TV shows I ripped/recorded to the 160GB hard drive. I was tired of packing a ton of DVDs and my portable DVD player for trips so I'm saving a ton of space & weight with this unit. Most hotel room TVs should have RCA jacks that you can plug this into and watch videos from your laptop. However, some hotel TVs only have single Coaxial jack on the back of the TV. In this case, you could use this unit to get video from your laptop to RCA cables, then just buy a cheap $10-$20 "RF Modulator" to convert the RCA to Coaxial signal. It's an additional gadget & cables to pack but it still might beat taking your portable DVD player + cases of DVDs.
Summary:
If you are a big gamer or want to play on your computer via the television, don't waste your money on this unit. However, if you want to watch movies or video from your laptop on your TV - this is totally worth the money.
Hope this helps.
