That looks like the one that Phattyboombatty mentioned/pictured that he is using in a post earlier this year.

you have to be sure it keep the ratio to 4:3

Similar, but this one seems to be an off-brand. +1 for the built-in audio cable/plug, but the Sewell Hammerhead is a fine piece of tech, and is not cheap!

That's the one I use. I've learned my lesson when going cheap.

Yeah, this can be adjusted on the TV, for example...

Does this converter introduce any lag?

[Omega-TI]

I've not noticed any. I should probably make a short video of it hooked up to my TI. I'll see if I can find some time to shoehorn that in in the next few days.

Are people only trying the Sewell Hammerhead adapter or are they trying the cheaper ones at the beginning of this thread?

I have the same one in the 1st thread and a VGA modded CV to pair it with. However I haven't tried an HDMI setup yet since I didn't have a modern HDTV that had a straight up HDMI port without having to use some kind of goofy adapter. Fortunately I do now though, as of today. I'll be doing some testing sometime this week and will post my results. Unfortunately I don't have any other converters to compare with, just the one in the 1st post.
