Summary: very satisfied
Comment: We use this device to switch between laptop, vcr and a dvd player driving
a projector for our church services. The only downside is a brief note on the screen indicating the resolution when selecting a new source.
It would be nice if that were made optional.
I notice that their web site is no longer active. [...] They may be out of business.

Summary: Good Quality and Performance
Comment: I'm using this product to connect a PS2 (S-video output) to an old 21" Trinitron monitor in 1024x768 mode, and it works great (along with a good set of computer speakers for sound). The picture quality is excellent. Everthing works exactly as you'd expect. I have not yet needed to try out the VGA pass-through capability, or the remote. Note that another review mentioned component input, which is not true. Only S-Video and single-line RCA video input are supported.

Summary: A Great little video converter
Comment: For those needing to convert S-Video and Composite Video signals from older equipment to a digital (VGA) signal, the Grandtec GVC-1000 is just the ticket. I had purchased a new LCD flat screen monitor with only HDMI and VGA input that I planned on using with my DVD player, with a personal computer, and also with a Fischer-Price "Smart Cycle" learning toy that my grandson enjoys. The Fischer-Price has a composit (RCA plug)output and the DVD player has composite, S-Video and component output. I was able to input the Fischer-Price, DVD player (using S-Video) and computer to the Grandtec converter and output a VGA signal to the flat screen. The Grandtec remote allows switching between inputs, provides as good a picture as the input devices can deliver all in a very affordable compact package. It is all plug and play with no software required.
Great box with lots of flexibility and at a great price.

Summary: Does Everything Well!
Comment: Let's you display video on a VGA monitor. Converts standard video (RCA plug or S-Video, 2 selectable inputs) to VGA perfectly, with brightness, contrast, sharpness, color, and hue controls that work well. Can also pass through a VGA signal of any resolution (3rd input). Neat credit card size thin remote (powered by a coin battery), but all functions are duplicated in pushbuttons on top of the unit for when you misplace the remote. Picture quality is excellent. Works best at 640x480 (for a 1280x960 monitor), but also supports 800x600 and 1024x768 -- choose a size that relates to your monitor. Have only tested it with NTSC live camera feed, but it claims to have 3:2 pulldown for film playback (or DVD of a film). Recommended.
