The major problem with convertors like this (I've used the tView Gold, which also supports 1024x768 and higher resolutions) is that normal televisions have a VERY VERY low resolution (something like 200x200, but don't quote me on that).. and converting 1024x768 and displaying it on a tv MAY work, for games, but anything where you actually need to read text (such as windows) comes out so blury that you basically go blind trying to read it..

If you are using windows VERY occasionally just to update emulators/roms on the machine or something to that effect, then a large TV and convertor may be of interest to you. You may not get as good of a picture as you would on a monitor, but it's good enough for games.

However, if you're like me, and will be running windows along with the games on your cabinet, I STRONGLY Advise against using a convertor like this.

Just my $.02
