 Well Worth It! Feb 02, 2010
This product does exactly what it is advertised to do, and does it well. I was concerned about de-interlacing 480i to get 800x600 (progressive) and what types of ghost images might be introduced. But this product works perfectly. The video coming from ny VCR is as clear as glass, and of a higher quality than a side-by-side with a Sony Trinitron tube. All-in-all, I;d recommend this highly to anyone trying to get video image onto a computer monitor. Just to give you an idea, my monitor is a 36 inch Gateway CRT, and the even scrutinizing at that size, I cannot find any fault with the image. I am not using the adio component of the device, so I cannot make any comment

very satisfied Dec 14, 2008
We use this device to switch between laptop, vcr and a dvd player driving
a projector for our church services. The only downside is a brief note on the screen indicating the resolution when selecting a new source.
It would be nice if that were made optional.
I notice that their web site is no longer active. [...] They may be out of business.

Good Quality and Performance Jul 17, 2008
I'm using this product to connect a PS2 (S-video output) to an old 21" Trinitron monitor in 1024x768 mode, and it works great (along with a good set of computer speakers for sound). The picture quality is excellent. Everthing works exactly as you'd expect. I have not yet needed to try out the VGA pass-through capability, or the remote. Note that another review mentioned component input, which is not true. Only S-Video and single-line RCA video input are supported.

A Great little video converter Mar 20, 2008
For those needing to convert S-Video and Composite Video signals from older equipment to a digital (VGA) signal, the Grandtec GVC-1000 is just the ticket. I had purchased a new LCD flat screen monitor with only HDMI and VGA input that I planned on using with my DVD player, with a personal computer, and also with a Fischer-Price "Smart Cycle" learning toy that my grandson enjoys. The Fischer-Price has a composit (RCA plug)output and the DVD player has composite, S-Video and component output. I was able to input the Fischer-Price, DVD player (using S-Video) and computer to the Grandtec converter and output a VGA signal to the flat screen. The Grandtec remote allows switching between inputs, provides as good a picture as the input devices can deliver all in a very affordable compact package. It is all plug and play with no software required.
Great box with lots of flexibility and at a great price.

Does Everything Well! Dec 19, 2007
Let's you display video on a VGA monitor. Converts standard video (RCA plug or S-Video, 2 selectable inputs) to VGA perfectly, with brightness, contrast, sharpness, color, and hue controls that work well. Can also pass through a VGA signal of any resolution (3rd input). Neat credit card size thin remote (powered by a coin battery), but all functions are duplicated in pushbuttons on top of the unit for when you misplace the remote. Picture quality is excellent. Works best at 640x480 (for a 1280x960 monitor), but also supports 800x600 and 1024x768 -- choose a size that relates to your monitor. Have only tested it with NTSC live camera feed, but it claims to have 3:2 pulldown for film playback (or DVD of a film). Recommended.
