Bill,

Mine is KWorld 1440 TV Box. For the test, I fed signal into its composite input but not noticed C-signal leakage into the Y-channel.
I have not yet noticed difference on composite vs. S-video. Probably I am not "exercising" it hard enough .

But I would not say that specific box is THE determining factor. I think the computer monitor resolution is the key factor. Its resolution is much, much better than a traditional LCD video monitor . This leaves a lot of headroom for the 'converter" box.

I have a hunch that the new winner is already here and it's cheap.
In the 2007 BF sale a month ago, there was a 19" Wide LCD HDTV on sale for $199 in C.C. (normal price $230-$270.) That device has an ATSC digital tuner, a NTSC tuner, composite/S-video/component/HDMI inputs, and computer VGA input. That is all-in-one contained within one LCD display. But I ran out the $ ...
Well, price will drop on these LCD monitors anyway.

Clear Skies!

ccs,

I just tried a kworld 1680ex tuner box on a 20 inch (4 X 3) desktop monitor. Great combination. I had previously tried the 20 inch as well as a couple of 17 inch monitors driven by the output of my laptop. Those were disappointing. The new combination displaying the MCH s video output is a big step forward. Unfortunately, my first test was cut short by a heavy dose of frost. I did get a good look at M42 and M1 before the ice came and the views were spectacular. I do a lot of public events so I am interested in the biggest display that I can use effectively. This looks like a winner. And when I'm not using the monitor, It does a really nice job as a TV set. Altogether, a well spent $70.

Bill
