Manhattan PC to TV Converter Reviews - 150095

Pros: Would be great if it worked.

Cons: Same problems as Eric. The on-screen menu doesn't work and the video is unviewable -- even at 800x600 60Hz which the unit claims to support. The "Manhattan" company has no web site or support mechanism. The users' manual is spare and no help.

Other Comments: This is the second Manhattan product I've purchased with the same unsatisfied results. I wouldn't recommend their products.

Pros: Small, compact, USB powered - Seemed like a good idea

Cons: Video was a little jittery, the control buttons would bring up the menu and the up/down would navigate but the left/right had no effect so no setting could be accomplished. A white background came thru a dirty white with washed out colors. Since we could not change the contrast or brightness, we did not know if this was correctable. The Image also seemed jittery. The Instructions were very short - and not really adequate to explain some of the functions. They were no help in trying to make adjustments as they neither confirmed nor denied our understanding of how we should be trying to work the menu. Finally the unit died after a few hours of use. Possibly all our problems are due to a defective unit. It seems to be a heat problem as after it sat for a few hours it ran again for 10 minutes and then stopped again. The situation was the Video output was scrambled and unusable when it overheated.

Other Comments: Will Return it and see how a new one works for another update.

Pros: Setup and connections were easy. Bouhgt for streaming Netflix videos on TV and it wasn't choppy at all!

Cons: As explained on the Sewell website does not work well for text but video of a movie on an RCA 50" rear projection was acceptable; not the greatest. I would suggest the higher end VGA to TV converter.

Other Comments: RCA TV was harder to setup the proper display and the "auto" sense does not work well with this unit. Like I said, the TV of all things was the pain, once setup it worked as expected.

Pros: Compact, many features at a reasonable price and loop thru vga

Cons:

Other Comments:

Pros: Very easy to hook up, still uses the composite port and svideo unlike most splitters today that only have component video.

Cons: Uses a USB port on computer for power. Bad because your computer only has 6 USB ports on it, so to have to use one of the 6 for JUST power for this unit when you could use that port for data on another peripheral; this is the only bad part.

Other Comments: great product works great.
