This comment is for the "Sabrent PC Laptop Mac Computer to TV Presentation Converter, VGA to Video, PC to TV Converter Box, VGA-Video Converter TV-PC85" only.I received this item on time in a sealed box. The box was missing an s-video cable that was supposed to be included. I had an extra cable at home, so I tried anyway. I followed the instructions and this product NEVER WORKED.
Issues:
1. The menu was difficult to navigate and technology seemed old.
2. So-called "manual" was poorly constructed and difficult to follow.
3. I have a Mitsubishi DLP 60" and the picture was fuzzy with lines on screen.
4. The Sabrent device completely disabled my laptop function key for brightness, sound, etc. It actually took over my laptop functionality and I had to unplug Sabrent device on numerous occasions to decipher the issue.
5. I laughed when I opened the package because the device is so tiny. The Amazon picture makes it look much different.
I purchased this based on Amazon users' experiences. I do not understand how this product received so many good reviews.I'm returning the product for a full refund and will find another way to watch netflix on TV.

I bought this to use with my media center pc. Using the S-video out, it has a pretty good picture & has plenty of adjustments. The "manual" is a photocopied, poorly translated pamphlet. It suggests that you should be able to save your settings and power the unit on/off but I was unable to figure it out. Unfortunately it's powered from the usb port of your pc. My solution was to use a wall power adapter that was for charging an old gps through it's usb port.

All of the 4 and 5 star reviews are right on the money. I purchased this product because there was not a video card that would work with my new Windows 7 desktop and also had an analog TV output. The picture is not great, but it works. Sometimes I get a "wavey" line or the picture does not hold up well when the camera pans, but it is still better than having to buy a HDTV. So long story short: if you can buy a graphics card, do that first. Then, if that does not (or will not) work, buy this converter.

As long as you understand that an analog TV is never going to match the quality of a digital flat-screen, this little box will most likely meet or exceed your needs. It's not perfect: there are sometimes faint lines, which seem to be a product of re-sizing the video output so it all shows on the television. Analog televisions are usually over-scanned, meaning the edges of the picture extend beyond the edges of the display; this converter lets you adjust the picture size in very small increments so you can see it all. But there is an inevitable loss of quality in doing so. Still, the overall image is about what you would get on an old TV when watching a broadcast signal. I found a slight color tinge which was correctable by adjusting the display device gamma settings - there may be a device profile out there to do that automatically.I use it mostly to watch streaming videos on my old large-screen set. Shows that were originally shot for that medium often still look best seen that way. It's also handy for presentations where fine detail is not important and a good monitor is not available.How to work the controls is not immediately obvious, but once you're familiar with the them, they offer a wide range of flexibility.The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is the video artifacts. It's inexpensive and gets the job done. Recommended.

How can I fix my laptop sound card/audio so it works without having to apply pressure to the laptop?

So there is this new law about no more receiving analog or rabbit-eared TV. I was just wondering with the coupons being given away, which is the best tv converter box offered?
