    I need a good VGA box. I want to hook up my, older game systems to my monitor and projector. I was looking at this one,XCM 1080p Mega Cool VGA Box. Does the up convert? If so, does anyone know how good of a job it does?

    Talking of VGA boxes. Is there such a thing as a VGA to HDMI adaptor? I want to connect my DC to the TV via VGA but my TV only has 4 HDMI ports and no VGA. A very odd choice.

    Yes, there is such a thing. I don't know how well they work, though. I was actually wondering about that myself. Anyone have experience with those?

    I have an extensive read at my "Home Page" from another Retro forum.

    VGA VS LCD Lightguns HD.

    Usually a reduced pic is the result unless you can zoom it in correctly.
    There are links there for various adaptors.

    I have a box which apparently uses the same chipset as this. They are cheap and it shows. Probably better than most internal scalers but still far from perfect.

    If it's cheap, it'll be shit. There's no magical way around this.
