S-video to HDMI converter with Atari and modern TV?

[+Larry]

With S-video on new TV's all but gone, has anyone tried one of these converters or something similar -- either HDMI or Component Video?

Hey Larry, well, I personally like and use the XRGB-mini Framemeister. But it's a little pricey, we are talking over $320 US. It even allows you to add scanlines

 

I don't use it daily though since I still have working CRTs, it was mainly to use when the CRTs fail. It can even do RGB with the right connectors.

 

Here is one on Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/DP3913547-Framemeister-Micomsoft-Upscaler-Japan/dp/B00QUBK6RK/

That is more than a "little" pricey for a video conversion. And you don't really even use it? You mainly have it for if a CRT fails? How much do you spend on chewing gum, $49.95?

I highly recommend the Etekcity s-video to HDMI up-converter.

Thanks for the link! Good to know that someone else has tried these successfully.

 

And thank goodness for these various converters that have been developed to help our Atari's connectivity.

I personally use one of these with my 8bit Ataris because I'm pressed for space and LCDs take up less. See the example below. NB: the built-in speakers on the monitor connect directly to the Atari rather than splitting it out from HDMI signal again
