Anyone purchased a S-Video 4 pin to Component (NOT composite) converter?

My TV does not have S-video input, only
1) composite
2) component
3) HDMI

Astro Max output only has
1) S-Video
2) Composite


I have compared between composite and s-video and the difference is alot. Not so much of sharpness or clarity but color accuracy. Composite colors are over saturated (very red and blue) while s-video is more accurate in color.

So, any device that can convert S-Video to Component? Anyone seen/bought one in Jalan Pasar?

U dont want to use any china made pasar road sold converters, they may screw up the signal or worse, screw up yr display.

For me, if you are more concerned with the color being over saturated, you can always tweak the setting on yr flat panel (obviously as it has HDMI). I am sure yr flat panel can save different preferred setting to each input (i know mine can, even to screen resolution).
