Digital camera reviews of Viewsonic Viewbox Tv Tuner Box For Monitors (Vb50Hrtv)
Digital camera Review: A good product with a drawback
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this video box primarily to play PS2 games on my LCD because I do not have a TV. Even though the image is slightly better than a TV tuner card, it didn't meet my expectation as it is still a bit fuzzy. I then read some reviews on the S video cable, and all of them were positive with the image improvement. So I went to Funcoland and purchased a SONY original S video cable for Playstation(attention! Do not buy generic brands because there are cases when the generic cables break the game consoles). The image quality improved dramatically, and the fuzziness went away. If you are buying this video box for reasons other than watching TV, then I suggest you to purchase a S video cable.
Summary of Viewsonic Viewbox Tv Tuner Box For Monitors (Vb50Hrtv)
Consolidate your screens with this clever accessory that transforms your flat-panel LCD or standard CRT monitor into a fully functional higher-definition TV, with cable, video game console, VCR, and DVD connectivity. Forget about having a separate den and office; combine the two and do your computing and your entertainment viewing on the same screen.The tuner is ready to use right out of the box. Cables and a remote control are included, and the plug-and-play connectivity makes installation a breeze. No additional software drivers are necessary. The 28-key remote control lets you control input sources and display options via the relatively intuitive onscreen menu, making the transition easy for lovers of TV. With resolution up to 1,024 x 768 dpi and 24-bit color, the display is stunning, enhancing television, movies, or video games.
The VB50HRTV provides full-screen viewing; it is not a pop-up viewer. This means that you can't watch television while working on your computer, so devoted multitaskers may find it frustrating. However, you can use the unit without turning your computer on (and without listening to the whir of your computer's fan) while watching movies or playing games.
