ok guys, to whom who want to use vga box

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

this model is VGA BOX 2198P, bought for RM120

inside got vga cable, y-splitter audio, power cable, vertical stand, manual

Im using a VGA LCD monitor, I need the vga box as a converter

Since Im using HDTV with HDMI cable before, so I need to change the display output setting first using HDTV + HDMI cable, then connect with component cable

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

component + audio cable with av multi in the other end

My PS3 is connected via HDMI to a 32" Samsung R81. Nothing to shout about..Colors are pretty decent except the reds which i find a bit exaggerated. Will try to upgrade to either a 42" Pioneer or 37" Phillips next year (that is if i strike lottery)

it's either 24" LCD monitor or full HD capable LCD tv to fully enjoy the HD world, furthermore, displaying 720p on a 22" will blurry because it's not the native resolution
