Digit-Life has posted a review on the Guillemot VGA-to-TV Converter Deluxe-2



Today I´m going to tell you about a VGA-to-TV converter Deluxe-2 from Guillemot. The device is meant for conversion of a signal from a video card output (VGA) into a TV signal (TV). You may ask us what this device is for, if many video card have a TV-out. The answer is simple: practically in all video cards a video-out works only at 800X600 resolution (at higher resolutions you will see only an area on the screen limited by the 800X600 size) and only at the 50/60 Hz (PAL/NTSC) - it is very tiresome for your eyes to work for a long time with such monitor. The only pleasant exception is dual-head Matrox G400/450 video cards. Due to an original technology TV displaying is not connected with the settings of the major (VGA) output, and as a result I received a high quality picture with the Matrox G450. Special external converters lack for such disadvantages. Such models allow for operation with a wide range of input resolutions and scannings: typical resolutions are 1024X768 and 75 Hz (for example, VineGen 2/pro), and more expensive models work with resolutions up to 1600X1200 at 120 Hz (for example, AVerKey 7 or CORIOscan Pro SG).
