submission by Paul Freeman – After buying a new Sony PS3 and seeing it in action on my Panasonic home theater Projector via the HDMI Inteface I was a little dissapointed when I turned on my original XBOX, which was connected to the Projector via its component Cables.
Now, obviously the XBOX is only 720p but it seemed extra dull and lackluster compared to the new HD PS3. After a little searching on the Internet I found a unit which connected to the component cable and converted the signal to an HDMI Output. It seemed too good to be true at a very reasonable $50, too cheap to be any good? I thought why not give it a try so I just ordered it to see what it really does.
Once the unit arrived I connected the input/otputs and the included power supply, and turned on the Projector and XBOX. I was totally amazed at the transformation in the picture quality and mostly the brightness of the Image.
The picture is so much more vivid and bright. I have been useing the converter for about a month now and can say I’m really pleased with the little unit. If you’re trying to consolidate your cables and video switching to HDMI I can recommend it too.
