I just bought this unit (Kworld TVbox 1920). I bought this in order to play my wii on my HP dv2000 special edition laptop. It came with a wii cable. I connected the wii cable to the unit, used an external speaker and plugged it to the unit, used its vga cable and plugged it in my laptops S-video and finally plugged the unit in outlet. All I got was the sound of the wii on the external speaker but no video on my laptop.

Do you guys no how to properly install this to my laptop?

Can the 2409 support pure 1920x1200 VGA? If it can then go for the 1920ex. Otherwise I suggest looking for a VGA box that upscale and output to 1920x1080 (difficult as hell, I personally also don't know any, because most 1920x1080 devices are TVs and they already have the necessary inputs to connect a Wii directly).

I'd suggest using VDigi only if you don't plan on playing some old GC games. Since it cannot convert interlace to progressive, many VGA montior cannot support interlace, and some old GC games will only run in interlace mode. If you plan to play all, a VGA box is better, since it will upscale interlace to progressive.
It's not meant to be used this way -.-
The device is for monitors to receive video from component, S-Video and Composite in- in other words, a VGA box. Not for video capturing to laptop display. You're better off fitting the laptop with a good PCI Express or USB video capture card with component in. Also hard to find, tho.

Thanks for the reply! I did figure this out earlier. My laptop S-video is only directing data out and not in. Feeling sick right now for not researching thoroughly. Are you familiar with these TV box? Do you think I an still use this to atleast get 3x3 picture in picture in my existing LCD tv?
