Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

First let me say this product works as described. You plug in the power cable, attach the composite RCA cable from your device, attach one end of the HDMI cable to the converter and the other to your TV/receiver and POW! Upscaled picture on your TV screen. This product would be great for an old DVD or VCR player. There is just one caveat; it outputs a 720p/1080p 16:9 image. You can select between 720p or 1080p, but it will always output in 16:9. That means if you want to hook up an old video game console (NES, SNES, Genesis, PSOne, Nintendo 64, Sega Saturn, Sega Dreamcast, etc.) it will stretch the 4:3 native image to 16:9. Most DVDs will be fine as they are natively widescreen. I, however purchased this primarily to connect my old consoles to the HDTV in my den, and it makes the games almost unplayable, since the image is stretched out. I gave this four stars because the device works, it works as advertised and does so quite simply. I just wish there was a bit more clarification with how it handles the signal. It was only $20, so I'm not too torn up about it. I just thought I'd leave a review so maybe anyone else looking in to this device for the same reasons I was will be aware of the drawback.
