    Great product!!!
    Great product for the right price, it does the job well. The graphic is sharp on my monitor, except minor gamma issue.

    Very Good
    I've had this is for a month or so now and... to quote the infamous Ronseal advert, 'it does exactly what it says on the tin'. Whilst it's true that the manual is all in Japanese, it's pretty self explanatory and the picture on my CRT from my PS2 is great, better than TV in fact. Also, it makes no difference if it's Mac or PC, as I'm using the pass-through for my G3 and it's seamless. A remote would be a nice touch, but at this price I have no complaints. A solid product.

    Excellent BUT the damn manual is in Japanese.
    Took me a couple of days to figure out that you have to use the toggle switch on the side of the box to change from s-video to component video. If you're looking for a vga/lcd box for your xbox, the x2vga+ is a better product.

    Cheap alternative to the other expensive conveters
    Cheap... but definly quality. Play-asia shipped from HK to USA,CA in just 2 days, fast shipping.

    As for the Hori Upscan Converter 2, it is the best you can get for just 49.99. I have it playing on my monitor using the built-in component input right now, and Tekken 5 has never been looking or sounding clearer. It looks almost as good as how it looks in the expensive thousand dollar Tekken 5 arcade machine.

    Also, since I'v experenced some lag-delay issues with similar things, I was worried that the hori may have some frames of delay... I have not gone into deep testing yet, but I was able to do all of my just frames and links in fighting games on visual cue, and the sound seems to sync perfectly. Great product from Hori. A++

    Great item at a good price
    This is easly one of the best VGA boxes on the market for both the PS2 and X-box, it even comes with a adapter to plug the Ps2 input cable into an X-box as well, a heavy duty VGA cable, a M type barrel connector to USB for power(you can get a normal 5v adapter from any radio shack to use AC power with it too but your gonna be payin about 27 bucks plus 4.99 for the right tip). Now for picture quality, at first it looked a little blurry but thats becuase I was staring at my ToxicOS screen instead of the normal screen or a game, once in the game it looked amazing, no double scan, colors were bright and vibrant, no washed out colors, black actualy looked black instead of gray. For the price this item is your best choice.

    The reason I give it Four Stars is becuase of Play-Asia, they estimate shipping to be 1 week, it took them 5 weeks to get this thing to me with no email's or anything telling me why it had been delayed, how long it should take, etc. I had to email them TWICE to get any information on this and each time it was a generic "were sorry, we should have it soon" excuse from them. But I got it and shipping actualy took the 2 day air via UPS like it should once they got it shipped out, so at least that was on time.

    Over all Product gets 5 stars, Play-Asia's service gets 3 stars.
