Would using this converter make any difference??? - Rich Thu, 01 Jan 2009 13:56:21 +0100 http://www.automatedhome.co.uk/New-Products/Inexpensive-Component-to-HDMI-Convertor.html#comment-113 My question is...I have an older xbox 360 and I want to use this so I can connect it to my hdtv via hdmi. I am hoping this will unlock the option for 1080p. Would this work? - Steve Tue, 12 Aug 2008 17:22:54 +0100 http://www.automatedhome.co.uk/New-Products/Inexpensive-Component-to-HDMI-Convertor.html#comment-99 You probably have your component input settings wrong on the projector so that the picture looks washed out and dull with the component video. With a properly configured system, you should see no difference between component video and HDMI. Also, the XBox360 IS 1080p and if your projector accepts 1080p you would do well to set it at 1080p. Which games are 720p or 1080p, or even some random resolution like 680p for Halo 3 depends on the game. Since the XBox and PS3 hardware are pretty close in performance both should provide good images. Also, a vivid image does not mean you have a good image. It may mean you've left the TV in torch mode where the colors are way off, too bright, and overly edge enhanced. - Eric Wed, 30 Jul 2008 22:23:05 +0100 http://www.automatedhome.co.uk/New-Products/Inexpensive-Component-to-HDMI-Convertor.html#comment-91 I have to say I'm with the cynics on this one. If it doesn't scale the image what is it doing to it that is so magical? If it's going to a good screen / 5.1 or 7.1 set up then good AV processors offer upconversion or upscaling. If it's going to a bog standard telly then how good can the benefits be. The better trick is going back the other way. Now Sky have removed the analogue HD option from their boxes there is still the challenge of getting the HDMI signal 50-100m around a house - The Masked Installer Thu, 24 Jul 2008 19:11:10 +0100 http://www.automatedhome.co.uk/New-Products/Inexpensive-Component-to-HDMI-Convertor.html#comment-90 So, could you hook up a SkyHD YPbPr HDTV source signal to this and get a HDCP free HDMI signal? - UK Thu, 24 Jul 2008 16:19:25 +0100 http://www.automatedhome.co.uk/New-Products/Inexpensive-Component-to-HDMI-Convertor.html#comment-89 Logically this box should not add or subtract anything from the video quality of the input signal - the HDMI output should be identical to the input! Any variation between output and input is not desirable, as its sole function should simply be to enable an HDMI input port to accept a YUV signal. In practice things are different for one of two reasons. First, the interface happens to modify the signal in a way that "improves" the subjective look because it is actually distorting the signal. Or, secondly the YUV input on your display may simply not be very accurate when compared to the HDMI input. (Or even be set to a different set of picture adjustments). I kind of expect that you could have seen a similar improvement to the XBOX output through the YUV input by simply adjusting the display picture parameters. But, if it works for you then great! - DavidW Thu, 24 Jul 2008 11:57:08 +0100
