Anyone heard of this product? How does it perform in term of image quality?

[JealousMidget]

OK
That's an odd looking contraption.

Do you have that product?

[Wiggo]

Well .... it does look ........ cheesy :?:

Hahaha, they had that on the Screensavers on TechTV about a year ago, they said it works 'ok' but it can sacrifices some of the quality of your computer IF you use high resolution.

Also, do not mistake that for a Capture card, which lets you record video into video files on your computer. A good capture card will do that, AND let you watch tv in the corner of your monitor. The Cheese box doesn't allow either of those.

I just had a thought though... If I was really cramped for space and didn't have a TV, my monitor has Dual inputs, so I could set the cheese box up to display on the secondary input, as to not sacrifice any quality when i am using the computer. And I would only do that if I really wanted to watch a VCR tape or some console game, on my monitor.

What Capture card has the function of conecting Playstation 2 and VCR to computer monitor? Do you have links for the Cheese Video Box review and the capture card that has the above function?

[zeradul]

All capture cards can do all of those things, as long as you run them through a VCR for the purpose of switching the signal from RCA cables to Coaxial.

The only advantage of the Cheese box in that scenario is that the computer can be Off, and just the monitor On. The capture card method you must have the computer on.

Compare Cheese Video Box's output quality to an average $300 19-in TV, how does it perform? Will the pictures look blurry and what about the refresh rate? Will it be able to output 85 Hertz?

If the output quality is bad, I would rather spend $200 for a new small-sized TV.

Who was the marketing genius who named it the cheese box?

Well, supra, I've never actually used one, so I can't answer that. But you can go look at some reviews of the item. Go to www.google.com and search for: cheese box review
