Working as intended under Accessories and Consumables

To output the composite signal to Hitachi rear projection HDTV via HDMI conversion from laptop. video and sound work. To get it to work I had to fiddle with a cable because I didn't have enough paint to start with. With my laptop, I also had to pinch the screen in the software to fit the TV. Tested on two different laptops. The TV is most likely to blame. For audio, I had to select an output source on a laptop to play through the TV instead of the laptop speakers. HD TV resampling in early TVs is common and probably unrelated to the converter. The converter always outputs a signal even without an input. This is useful for troubleshooting, but be aware of this when turning off the device. Being a rear projection TV, its design requires compromises in picture quality. But since it's used once a week a year at best, it's not often enough to justify a replacement or risk a hernia.

Pros
  • Good to use
Cons
  • Compatibility
