The Perfect Product for Playing PAL Games in NTSC Areas
I came across the CVID converter box while looking for a way to use a German Commodore Amiga 500 in the USA. I bought several products claiming to convert PAL to NTSC at too-good-to-be-true prices from various sellers and not a single one worked. When I came across this product at just under $50 I thought it was a bit expensive, but compared to the competition it was about half the price. So I bit the hook and ordered one. I am a price conscious shopper who does not take a $50 purchase lightly. While my expectations were low, I kept my fingers crossed. The item arrived and set up was very straight forward. Plug the USB cable and HDMI into your LCD TV and attach a SCART or HDMI from the PAL game or computer system and it just works. I was able to test it using a Sega Saturn as well as the aforementioned Amiga Computer, with a nice, crisp video output. For half the money you would spend on a similar device, the CVID converter is unbeatable. The only downside is the lack of composite input/output. But for the money saved you could easily purchase an adapter.Read full review

Needs a on & off switch
I love it my only complaint is it has no power button on & off switch wouldn't want it to burn out cause of being on all day but besides that it works amazing awesome picture quality

Image is cut off no matter what
No matter what tv/converter settings I change the image is always cut off. For $50 which is twice as much of a used working Sega, this should work after a few settings adjusted, I tried multiple TVs, games. Always cut imageRead full review
