Cheap external scan-doubler on eBay
« on: September 28, 2005, 08:58:43 PM »
It's one of those eBay auctions that get your hopes up and then immediately piss you off as soon as you click on the link for several reasons.

- it's not really a scan-doubler
- huge pictures unnecessarily load right away without warning
- no offense effy, but after 400+ feedback earned, you finally need to learn to create thumbnails in your description.

It's not?


It's just one of those composite to VGA converters which can be found for ~20USD at electronics stores. It's not actually anything near the quality of RGB video to VGA conversion.

I guess it is technically, but I think that everyone expects to see an actual Amiga scan-doubler after reading the auction's title, and then when you realize that it's just a composite to VGA converter, it's kind of a downer.
