What Customers Say About External Standalone LCD TV Tuner:

Pleasantly surprised at the quality of picture. After minutes of receiving the unit I was up and running. I wanted a replacement TV for a bedroom, but LCD TV's were $399 and up. I had an old NEC 20" LCD Monitor collecting dust and happened across this product. For my set up (having a monitor without integrated speakers) it was a bit Kludge to integrate external computer speakers , 3 power cords, hide cables etc and make it look decent, but for $50 , you cant beat it. It gets 4 stars because channel numbers do not always advance or match what is tuned.
When I end up buying a new HDTV, this setup will go into the bedroom to replace the 15-or-so-inch TV in there. I bought one of these about 5 months ago and hooked it up to a 19" LCD monitor. I currently have satellite TV, so analog vs digital tuning is a non-issueHowever, in the past few weeks, it has started acting as though buttons were being pressed on the remote even though no one was near it. It was taking the place of a broken 32" HDTV, but we never watched anything in HD on it anyway. The picture was much smaller but this box was $50 and the monitor was free, so you can't beat a 19" TV for $50. It will display (and possibly change slightly) the contrast or brightness settings, and sometimes attempt to change the resolution. The resolution it tries to change to is not supported by my monitor and nothing happens except the monitor displays a distracting message in the middle of the screen stating that the resolution is not supported.The worst issue of all, though, is that sometimes it acts as though the A/V (input) button was pressed, switching away from the TV show I'm watching to my computer, or worse, to the Antenna input which is often very loud static, abd is very disruptive.I emailed the seller about a replacement and I hope they will be accomodating.
We were looking for a TV tuner for our widescreen computer monitor and this little box did the trick. Not only were we able to get all of the channels our plasma had, but we could also hook up the PS2 and play game through it as well. This is a great buy for the price.
However the reason why I give it 3 stars is because only a couple of the buttons on the unit work. I intended to use this in my kitchen and hooked up to an LCD monitor. I bought this product based on its price and on the good reviews. Some I had to press hard for them to work and others plain don't work at all. I got about as good quality video as I could expect from it. It's not bad. I have this mounted upside down so that the buttons are on the bottom and I don't plan to use them anyway - solely control the unit by the remote. The unit feels a little cheesy but as far as features and controlability, it's adequate for what I needed.
I just purchased this item I can tell you it is perfect for conversion of different connections, no if you are trying to improve any image or signal. For example I have a 19" LCD monitor the image resolution using this item is the same if I were using my own cable box signal directly to the monitor via RCA cable or composite. I mean, if you have a Coaxial and you're trying to convert it to VGA or RCA it is perfect.Improving Image resolution 3/10Converting Signals 8/10 (doesn't has S-Video, RCA or HDMI output. My Eng is not very good, Im latin.
