Can someone please describe the video quality?  If it's as good as native RGB on a 1084 then I'm buying one of these immediately for my A500!

lol

not even close.

I had one before and thought the video quality was garbage to be honest. I tested it with both a LCD and CRT monitor. Keep in mind everything inputted into it is automatically upscaled to 60Hz NTSC. If you play a PAL game or Demo (virtually all of them), then you will have jerky scrolling that isn't smooth at all. Plus there are graphical glitches that pop up all the time. And I saw issues with workbench cursor having glitches around it.


All in all, I think it's a lousy solution. It might be ok if you are inputting nothing but NTSC stuff like a SNES or Genesis to scale up to a VGA monitor. But as soon as you input something can run at multiple resolutions and different refresh rates, this thing falls down. Hard.

I personally think a good Svideo adapter like the one Nathan (amigamaniac) use to build give you far better quality (while maintaining proper 50/60Hz screen refresh) than this POS.


IMHO

I would take a solid svideo connection over this POS anyday.

The jerky scrolling for PAL games and demos completely makes this device un-recommendable in my opinion.
