Mega Cool box converts component video to VGA

Earlier this week XCM, developers of a wide range of multi-platform gaming accessories, announced the upcoming release of their new 1080p Mega-Cool VGA box. The 1080p Mega-Cool VGA box is a dependently powered gaming peripheral that converts an incoming component (YPbPr) signal to a VGA (RGBHV) signal, capable of being displayed on a computer monitor or VGA-enabled HDTV. The device’s output will support UXGA displays of up to 1600 x 1200 resolutions, and HDTV screens with resolutions up to 1920 x 1080. In terms of input sources, the device will accept 480i, 576i, 480p, 576p, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p signals. Addtionally, the XCM 1080p Mega-Cool VGA box will support both NTSC and PAL color encoding systems, and feature motion-adaptive interfiled de-interlacing. (link)

    please tell me will this one play on 1366 x 768 native resolution on an 18.5 inch lcd monitor?

    I have a slim PS2 and a component AV cable.
    Want to hook it up to an acer x193hq lcd monitor.

      It says it supports “up to 1600×1200″, so all applicable resolutions at lower setting should be fine. Check with manufacturer.
