I needed to convert the VGA output from my laptop to either S or composite video. I purchased this converter and although I can get it to display on the video monitor the picture appears as though the vertical is running off frequency. Naturally there is no way to adjust this on most equipment these days. And there does not seem to be any way the address this in the converter either. I tried selecting different refresh rates and resolution settings on the computer but nothing seems to make a difference. Does any one have any ideas? Thanks, Lenny.

I've never tried it but it's doubtful. I've tried to get CBS from Burlington before and I didn't even get pixels. With our elevation Boston is bad enough but Burlington would be a haul for me. I have somewhat of a shot at Southeastern Maine but even Portland would be a stretch. Lenny


Lenny,

If you have a PC , right click on the desktop and click on screen
resolution. Set for 640 X 480 if possible. Otherwise set at 1024 X
768 or 800 X 600. You also need to set the screen refresh rate at 60
hz. This is in advanced settings in the screen resolution window.

The screen refresh rate is under the monitor tab.
