Pros
Pro Easy to use
The converter is compact and dead simple to use. You just need to plug in your device you are converting the signal from, the USB cable to power source and a HDMI cable to a TV or monitor and you are ready to go.
Pro 2 year warranty
While most of these converters have only a 1 year warranty, this one is covered for two years.
Pro Output resolution switch
You can switch between 1080p resolution or to a lower 720p resolution output if your TV/monitor doesn’t support 1080p signal.
Pro Can be powered from a TV
The converter has a mini USB to USB cable for power. This means that you don’t need a special adapter to power it and you can just plug it in in one of your TV’s USB ports.
Cons
Con No signal cables included
Apart from a USB cable there are no other cables included so you need to buy them separately.
Con Minor lag
When converting the signal some minor lag is introduced. It isn’t that noticeable for most but some users using this for gaming do notice it.
Con Can get stuck sometimes
Some users report that when turning off the TV or the device that you are taking the signal from and turning it back on, the converter stops working. The only way to make it work again is to disconnect and reconnect it back to a power source.
Con No s-video or component input
It only has a composite input but no s-video or component inputs so you can’t convert signals from devices using these outputs. Fortunately it is rare that a device has one of these outputs but no composite outputs.
