XCM 1080p VGA box reviewed by Scorpei.com

Hey all,

I've finished my review of the XCM 1080p VGA box, a product for all of us who do not own a HDTV but do have a PC . In case you haven't heard about it yet:

The XCM 1080p allows you to hook up your PS3/Wii/Xbox360 to your VGA monitor (i.e. computer screen). Due to the high-definition capabilities of the new consoles many people (especially here in Europe; HD TV's are not widespread here quite yet) are longing for higher resolution screens. But, don't we already have a high-def screen? Yes we do, our VGA monitors!

Read my review to find out if it truly is worth buying ! It's located:

A small sneak-a-peak:

For the PS3 this product is a must if you do not own a HDTV and want higher resolutions. Although with games you might not really need the higher resolution (I have to say it does look much better though) when running Linux however the higher resolutions are really great. The best part is that the PS3 upscales (if the feature is enabled/needed) all content including PS2/PSX games which means that regardless of what content you want to play the XCM box supports it (way to go Sony!).

Cheers,
Scorpei

Can the box be used the other way round?

i.e can you input with the xboxvga cable and out put with component into a hd tv.

I ask this because i've just order hdtv but my vga port only goes to 720p. my componet will let me go up to 1080p

because of the natural of xbox i cant upscale dvd or play hd dvds at 1080p. Thus if i can output 1080p through my vga and have it changed to component then i can view the 1080p
