 Versatile, but not without some quality reduction. May 12, 2007
By Chibuzo Obi
I liked the product. It is versatile, compact, easy to use and has a pretty nifty remote. It can convert from just about any source - including s-video, component & even VGA. But on conversion, the projection lost its sharpness. Images are still very legible. However the slight blur can be a bit annoying.

Not perfect, but pretty good Jan 09, 2007
By R. Williamson
"River"
My biggest gripe with this device is that my monitor's natural resolution is 1280 x 1024, and it is an LCD. (which means that other resolutions can look a bit 'funky' on it)
A minor bit of contention is that it does not come with an extra PC audio cable (although it comes with an extra VGA cable). I had to run out and buy an extra (read overpriced) one from BestBuy in order to make my setup run smoothly.
Other than that, I love the device, it fits right under my monitor.
One feature that I like is that the box does not alter your signal from your computer. You will receive your computer's output if you turn the converter off. When you turn the converter back on, it will return to last input you used. So I just leave the box set on game input, and turn it off when I want to switch to my computer.
Remote is a wonderful addition.

 A Great little video converter Mar 20, 2008
By Marshall H. Gordon
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
By Rainer O. Vonsaleski
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.
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
