Review on 🔌 OREI XD-990 PAL HDMI/RCA to NTSC HDMI 50/60 Hz Multi-System Digital AV Converter - Dual Voltage Black: Enhanced Audio Video Signal Conversion by Leroy Stanton

I took my Sony 46 inch NTSC HD LCD TV with me when I moved to India from the US. Since it was not a multi-system TV, it did not work with cable and DTH services in India, which only broadcast PAL signals. I was looking for an NTSC HD TV that would work with the PAL TV system in India and then found the Orei XD-990 at Revain. Until I bought an Orei XD-990 I could only watch Blu-Ray movies on my HD TV in India, but when I got the Orei XD-990, voila, I could watch my HD TV with my existing DTH service (which otherwise only supports PAL TVs) and could watch HD channels in 1080i resolution. It took me a while to figure out how the Orei XD-990's menu items work, but the end result was amazing. HD picture quality after PAL to NTSC conversion is excellent. I did not experience any loss of quality due to the Orei XD-990 interface between DTH (Direct To Home with Dish Antenna) STB (Set Top Box) and HD TV. The SD channels look a lot better than usual too, as the Orei XD-990 is likely to upscale the SD image to a reasonable level. One thing to note here is that the set top box provided by your DTH or cable service, as well as the Orei XD-990, must be set to 1080i correctly and of course use an HDMI connection to get the highest quality get high quality picture. . First of all, the Orei XD-990 supports international voltages, so it does not need a step-down voltage converter. I can't say anything about the durability at the moment as I've only been using it for two months. So far I am extremely happy with my purchase of the Orei XD-990 and would recommend it to anyone planning to use their NTSC HD TV with a PAL system. I assume the Orei XD-990 can be used with PAL TVs to connect to an NTSC telecast system. However, I did not use this option. In short, this is an absolutely wonderful product at a reasonable price.
