 I wanted one of these so much I ordered it June 14, 2009
Daniel W. Miller
I never received this item. Amazon shipped it on time as usual but it was mis-delivered from my post office, never to be seen again. I'm saving up money to order another one, and maybe pay extra to have UPS bring it. Super saver shipping was a little too much like a Secret Santa in this instance.
 Does exactly what it's supposed to, perfectly April 4, 2009

Video Jockey works well March 24, 2009

StarTech Video game jockey works very well. I am using it to connect my Wii to my computer screen. The only thing that I don't care for is that I have to run it through my computer also. I was hoping that I could run the computer screen straight from the Jockey.
Converts Component to VGA ! ("Comp 2 VGA" ) February 20, 2009

"Comp 2 VGA" is a way to display component (the single yellow RCA-jack input)to the 15 pin "D-sub" VGA input on your monitor. This is in case you don't have a "component in" available on your monitor, but you do have an extra VGA. Component video is the worst - and this thing takes it and converts it, so the picture's going to be even worse than if you could plug right into a component input... but you don't have a component-in available, or you wouldn't be looking for this thing.
Just to make things more interesting, there is a VGA to DVI adaptor made that costs just a few more dollars (5 or so) in case you only have a DVI input available and you want to display your device's component video on your DVI monitor. I have an old computer that plugs into a new monitor's second DVI input that way (the first DVI input has a modern computer on it.) So I'm pretty sure you could use this thing with the VGA-into-DVI adaptor to show component video on a monitor's available DVI-in port.

My girlfriend and I have a spare DVD player that we were using before we moved as well as an LCD monitor. We wanted to hook both of them up in the bed room so that we could watch some DVDs. This product worked great for about three days (though it did over saturate the color a bit) and then it would start to flicker a little bit... then a lot... then it would loose color and only be in black and white. Then about two days later it went back to color for a few hours before it started flickering again. I returned this product and I'm going to try a different one (hasn't arrived yet)
