AVermedia Key Micro (1280) PC/Mac to TV Scan Converter

Just what I needed and did exactly what I wanted it to. I work for a NBC Sports and I need to export an Excel worksheet to others in our compound. I turned this on out of the box, connected the cable to my VGA port and I was good to go. It's nice when something works right out of the box. My previous one died on a show (NOT the same make), and I HAD to have this that week. I made my purchase with Amazon.com and it was shipped to my Hotel the very next day. Thank you Amazon.com and thank you AVerMedia.

This product works great. It does everything I need it to do. I use it to watch movies and baseball games from my computer/the internet. The colors aren't always perfect (there is a little lack of definition in shadowed area) but it definitely works well enough to enjoy video on the tv instead of looking at my little lap top screen. And it is very easy to set up. Just plug and play.

The zoom function is sub-par for what I was hoping to use this for (only one setting). The picture quality is about what I expected from the component and s-video outputs, not text worthy but video is average. Unable to test the RGB/VGA at this time. I am considering exchanging this for a more suitable and functional product...

Reading the other reviews I thought for certain that this would be the ideal item to hook up my desktop to my 23" Emerson LCD tv. The installation was easy enough, hardly a few minutes, but as soon as the screen appeared I knew I had problems. Very fuzzy and distorted. Tried the scan button the device along with changing the resolution on my computer, but no luck.

This product works best when used to display PC-based videos.

It is not suitable for displaying PC text on a TV, at least not on my circa-2001 36 inch flat screen Sony TV.
