Composite to VGA Adapter from eBay Review

Ғылым және технология

It's a hoot and a holler when Matt blows $20 (AUD) on a cheap adapter from eBay. But the real question is, is it any good?

    I still have my original 13" television that I got when I bought my first computer (an Atari 800xl). It STILL WORKS. And it's the best device to play retro games on... I am glad I resisted the temptation to toss it when I got larger CRTs and LCDs. :) The vertical is about to go out, but it was used when I bought it in 1983. And with some exceptions in the early aughts, it has seen near constant use as a monitor for my C64/Atari/and retro consoles. :)

    The Dreamcast supported VGA natively, which provided a higher quality than composite converted to VGA, like matt is doing here with his NES. You probably used the Dreamcast's direct VGA output unless you used some weird cheap third-party adapter

  • @WilliamMcCarthyIII
    @WilliamMcCarthyIII4 жыл бұрын

    just some quick notes: the NES and N64 output in 240p. You do NOT want deinterlacing here. They're already progressive scan, and deinterlacing will ruin their image, so it's good that it seems to not be deinterlacing. I'm glad that it outputs an image that isn't smoothing out the vertical pixels, because that would look god awful in any situation except maybe PS2 era games in 480i. Also, I hope the 75hz output and resolution is optional, otherwise it will cause strange scrolling patterns and jittering. I'd love to see S-Video performance eventually. S-Video is a MASSIVE upgrade over composite for basically the same exact price Thanks for the review!

    Looking into things, aparently they make some that go in the other direction. And since the GBS8200 (a cheap upscaler that also works as a downscaler to 240p) only outputs VGA, I think it might be my best option. They make cheap kind of direct converter solutions, but I think the lack of using power to do it *may* cause a lot of quality loss, so im going with this.

    Lol. Hdmi is overkill for retro systems. VGA looks great and, in my opinion, is the best video format for these older consoles. Not only this, but changing an analog signal to a digital one, will cause lag and isn't viable. All you're doing here is taking one analog signal and turning it into a better analog signal, since VGA is analog. And this looks better than hdmi.

    I got the exact same looking box for $20 on ebay in around 2012. Since then I've gotten composite to HDMI boxes that cost twice as much and died inside of a month. This one just keeps chugging away. It's not perfect though. They've coated it in that grippy rubbery finish that feels premium but in about 5 years it turns to sticky gunk that's near impossible to get off. And the buttons get some sort of oxidation inside them and get cranky and super irritating to use, but that's easy enough to fix with a squirt of DeoxIt or contact cleaner. The quality at least on mine is great. The deinterlacing actually works really well on things like PS2 480i though some lines of the N64's 240p confuse it and it creates a strange effect. According to the box it also features a "3D denoising filter", and I have to say that really works too. It cleans up composite enough that the first time I used it, I had to double check that it wasn't on S-Video. Switching back and forth there's a definite difference but I've seen S-Video rendered worse than this thing's composite. The upscaling is dodgy though so it's best to leave it at 640x480 and let the monitor scale it. For CRTs I find it very useful that it has an 85 Hz output. This makes motion judder a little but gets rid of the dreadful headache-inducing 60 Hz flicker, which is one thing I really don't miss about that era.

    I've had one of these things for years, but it goes in the opposite direction. You put VGA in and get composite/S-Video out. It uses the same case, except in blue, and also runs off of USB power. It has a different, more primitive user interface as well. On mine, the side with the single VGA port is the input, while the side with the three other connectors is the output. Mine also has dipswitches in the location that yours has the QA sticker. I originally bought mine from a retail store (Radioshack probably?) almost a decade ago

    Saw the thumbnail and was like hey! I have that too! I bought mine from aliexpress though. That thing is honestly amazing. Indeed the picture-in-picture does exactly what pip does on android. But you can't choose which is the smaller one. If you have a VGA and composite signal going through it will display the composite signal in pip over the VGA signal in the bottom right corner and you can set it to 2 different sizes. Indeed the VGA output is next to the other inputs which is weird but eh. The menu is really nice to have as, at least in my experience, consoles just look very dark, so i always have to up the brightness, but only when playing a game on a console because on the VGA signal it doesn't give any issues. Maybe that's because mine runs off of a 1A phone charger. I should have the exact same as you have even though mine came from aliexpress, but it has everything exactly the same, even the blue light through the sticker. But mine came with a USB cable to power it and it runs just as well off a USB port from my laptop as it does on the phone charger. It also doesn't seem to care about what console you use. I use mine with an N64, a gamecube and a PS2 and it all runs the same. Also no noticeable input lag added to it so that's cool too. And it supports some pretty decent resolutions at 60 and 75hz if you want. Only thing is audio. It does not support audio so you'd have to find a way to route the audio somewhere. Seeing that you use 1 cable to the rca input i don't know how you'd do that, where i live there's always 3. The red, white and yellow, where yellow is the video signal and red and white are right and left audio respectively. You can just route those 2 cables to any rca input on any audio device that has those as inputs so there's no problem there really. I have mine routed through an audio interface. Overall it's a really cool thing and works very well actually :3 But i'm still wondering why yours came with a 2A adapter whereas mine just came with a USB to whatever that round plug is cable.

    This converter is ok, but it doesn't properly handle 240p signals properly. It's definitely impressive for the price though. The best solution that I've found for this (and I've tried a BUNCH) is the RetroTINK2X with a cheap HDMI 2 VGA adapter plugged into it. less than 1ms lag added and a WAAY cleaner picture, even rivaling that of a framemister or ossc! It is about $100 USD though so it's not exactly cheap.

    Hey, "VGA IN" is a pass-trough connector that allows a VGA source (for example a computer) use the connected monitor without disconnect the adapter. You can switch between "S video", "composite" and "VGA pass-trough" by one of those buttons. However, the adapter still needs to be powered to use VGA pass-trough... 😉 Looks like I have a little different version of this adapter. First, mine has no LEDs, second, mine has BNC connector instead of RCA, and third, mine has these buttons: - "AV/SV/VGA" - "ZOOM" - "PIC" - "MENU" - "RES" - "PIP" Of corse, it can't do "picture in picture" and some buttons do something different than what's labeled on the adapter. So, I say, you have a better version, dude.

    Depending on the board revision, a better option might be to rgb mod the n64 and convert from rgb to component, that will give better video quality and rgb mods for early n64 revisions are cheap and easy to rgb mod, although later versions are only compatible with more feature rich mods that do a lot of cool stuff to improve video quality but cost more and are harder to install. edit: that or rgb mod the n64 and use hd retrovison cables, which appear to include the conversion because they work with rgb modded n64s and NESes (assuming you use a SNES style multi out for the NES RGB mod).
