So between an Indivision card and one of those converter box things that lets you use tv signal devices like consoles and amigas to a VGA monitor...are there any significant differences?
 
The indivision is a lot more expensive and you have to open up the box but for basic games playing, do I get something cool in return ?

I recommend that you head over to www.amigamaniac.com especially if you have an LCD TV with svhs input in.
 
I find 640x512 and higher, even super high res very usuable, for games it gets even better!  
 
Only $30AUD odd dollars the only thing I don't like about it, is the bare pcb, I'd like to get a case for it one day but dont know where I could get one that fits.  
 
Very well recommended though!

Is it this one you guys are talking about?

or am I not finding it ?
 
 
If thats it, once he has them finished, that looks like a way cheaper solution, altogether.
 
Thanks guys :)

That is the one, I was a bit of a doubter about how good SVHS could be on a LCD TV, but for the bang per buck and is flicker free, it does an amazing job!  
I just wish the amigamaniac had the option of a case for them to make it more like a consumer grade product than a hobbyist project, and I would  be happy to pay an extra $10 to $15 for that!
