Grand Hand View III - VGA to TV converter | |
The premise is simple - use this to get your pc screen/interface on to tv.
The device is small, measuring approximately 55mm x 120mm x 24mm, and in a plain white casing. It comes with a variety of cables; s-video, video, vga to vga, and rgb to scart.
So, how good is the picture? I've only used the s-video so far, but I'm happy to report that the picture quality is quite impressive given the crudeness of the device. Reading average type size is difficult, but still and moving pictures and big fonts are wonderfully rendered. The GHD III excels in carrying videos and streams.
The GHDIII has two option buttons - 'size' and 'fine tune'. Size, from what I can make out, has two settings which adjust the picture size. Fine tune also appears to be a dual setting. Although this is basic, I have yet to encounter problems with this back-to-basic approach. However, one suspects that this may well present problems with a minority of tv sets.
This small box is also eco-friendly, ultilising USB as a power source. Overall, given the price - £32.95, you will do well to find a better alternative for domestic VGA to TV conversion without parting with serious dollars. |
