    Does PAL, NTSC and widescreen

    Written by AH from Cambridge

    While a little pricey for a simple adapter, it works well and has decent picture quality. When used on an Intel 15" MacBook Pro, tRead morehe System Preferences 'display' pane offers various resolutions suitable for both PAL and NTSC 4:3 or 16:9 display, from 640x480 right up to (downsampled) 1280x720, with a pull-down menu to choose 50Hz or 60Hz refresh rate. One may be greyed out if the resolution you select is not suitable for that signal type.

    An 'Options' tab lets you choose a black border safe area display (default) or overscan (to hide black edges) as well as select a 'best for video' mode, which basically reduces the antiflicker level and should be chosen by anyone with a 100Hz TV. The TV output is treated as a conventional secondary display, so all the usual options for display arrangement and colour correction are presented in the preferences dialogue and software with full screen modes that let you choose a full screen display device will function correctly.

    PAL DVI to Video - works out the box!

    Written by GT from BLYTH

    Oct 28, 2007

    Got this through today for my MacBook Pro. As mentioned is a previous review, the site doesn't list compatibility for the MacBook Read morePro for the PAL version but does for the US version but it works fine straight out of the box (well packet).

    I used a composite cable for ease of use (as I don't have an s-video on the TV that was to hand) MacBook adjusted its resolution straight away and the image appeared on screen, couple of Fn-F7 clicks and it was full res on the MacBook and twin-screened with the TV.

    You need a S-video cable

    I bought the adapter to use on my mac mini, to connect to my sony 28" crt. I can see why some people have given this product a badRead more review. when i first plugged it in using a composite cable, the screen quality was very poor, and i had to enlarge nearly all the text to be able to read it, even sitting right in front of my tv. I have know purchased a high quality S-video cable and the difference is amazing. I'm running 800*600 50 hz and i can easily read nearly all text sitting on my sofa 3m away. I would recomend this adapter only if you have s-video connections on your tv, as through composite, it doesn't quite cut the mustard.

    Although Apple don't mention it on their UK store this also works fine on my 1.83Ghz MacBook Pro, for some reason on the US store Read moreit is listed as compatible but on the UK no mention. Anyway works at 60Hz or 50Hz at the usual limited TV resolutions but for front row use its ok on my 28inc CRT JVC TV.
