Review: ---=== 10 Stars ===--- - OK, I'm in the middle of a project, and I don't have time to write this. Honestly. But I felt compelled to literally drop everything and do this. Let me preface this by saying I've tried a dozen other VGA--> S-Video solutions, and, in a word, they sucked. Washed out color, scan problems, resolution-limited inputs, etc, etc. Suffice it to say, I did not have high hopes. If you're reading this, you have a need for S-Video. I do too, and that's our business, nobody needs to be 'judging' us for it. If you have that need, read on. My Setup: Multi-Media PC w/ nVidia GTX-590 feeding a standard monitor @ 1200x960 on one DVI output via DVI-->VGA adapter, and a 55" LCD on the second output, via DVI-->VGA-->HDMI @ 1900x1080. The 55" is above a pool table in the basement, and I use it to run music videos, youtube, as well as music-driven visuals, etc. Converters and all, the output looks fine, no visible issues/artifacts. The Need: When I built the house 20 years ago, I ran s-video cabling and distribution amps to every tv location in the house (there are many). Yes, I know, but it is what it is. I originally used a video card w/ an S-Video out, and life was generally good. W/ the upgrade to the 55", however, S-Video was not an option, for so many reasons. All I wanted was a way to 'pick off' an S-Video signal from the 2nd nVidia output, and send that to the rest of the house (for parties, etc), while still viewing uncompromised 1080p on the 55". As I mentioned, the other stuff I tried looked miserable. The Verdict: With a 1900x1080 input, and ZERO fiddling/configuration, the Startech output looks BETTER than I have ever seen from any of the VGA cards w/ dedicated S-Video outputs (and I've tried many), let alone the converter boxes. The color is saturated, the downsampling/aspect ratio is perfect. The graphics are crisp. Crap, this is too good, I'm waiting for something to go wrong, lol. Much like Apple (in the distant past...) IT JUST WORKS. Amazing. If I had one criticism: It should have a VGA passthrough. It is on a VGA Y-Connector in my setup, not a deal-breaker.
Review: Easy setup, works great with a 32-inch tube TV - Just got this nifty little gadget today, along with a new 25-foot audio RCA cable and a new 25-foot male to male VGA cable (ordered & paid for separately - they don't come with the converter box. Both cost under $5 each). I plugged the converter box into a power outlet. I plugged one end of the VGA cable into my Lenovo Vision E2 laptop, and the other end into the converter box. I plugged the single-plug end of the audio RCA cable into the headphone jack of the Lenovo and the two RCA audio plugs on the other end of the cable into the TV (a 32-inch Sharp tube TV). I used a video (yellow) male-to-male RCA cable that I already had on hand, plugged one end into the converter box and the other into the corresponding RCA jack on the TV. I had to fiddle a bit with my screen resolution on the Lenovo laptop, but right now I'm viewing YouTube videos on my TV set via my laptop. The video quality is quite good (a lot depends on the video quality of what you're viewing on the laptop. Some of the uploads on YouTube are not so great & there's nothing this box can do to clean them up. That's not the fault of the box). Sound is also very good. Everything works great! I'm very pleased with this purchase. There's a ton of great BBC/Open University material on YouTube that desertcart Prime, Netflix streaming and Acorn streaming TV don't offer - and it's all free! This is a stormy, rainy weekend here in Northern California, and I'm one happy camper with this great little (and it really is very small in size) converter box!

### ⭐ Disappointing Performance, Not Worth the Price
*by B***P on September 20, 2025*

I bought the StarTech VGA to Composite/S-Video Converter hoping to connect my PC to an older CRT TV, but it simply didn’t deliver. Despite claims of supporting high resolutions up to 1600x1200, the output was unstable and blurry. I tried multiple resolutions and refresh rates, but the image either didn’t show up or looked completely distorted. Setup was supposed to be plug-and-play, but I spent hours troubleshooting with no success. The unit feels solid physically, but the performance doesn’t match the price tag. For something marketed as a professional-grade solution, it fell short in every way. If you're looking to downscale VGA to RCA or S-Video for retro setups or presentations, I’d recommend looking elsewhere. This one just doesn’t work reliably.
