WIZZARD77 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I'm looking for a new TV but nothing has s-video anymore. I see s-video to hdmi converters on amazon. My question is have you guys had any experience with these and if so is one brand better than the other? I'm basically looking to hook up my s=video modded SNES, Genesis, 2600, ect.

SoundGammon Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Haven't tried one of those. But what I got used on E-Bay was a Samsung DVD recorder model DVD-R135 that has a HDMI output that upscales to 1080i if needed. Works great for me. Also has component output too. Has s-video and composite input. You could probably use a switcher for the input. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIZZARD77 Posted August 12, 2013 Author Share Posted August 12, 2013 Never thought of that. I'll have to keep an eye out for somthing like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SpiceWare Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 (edited) I've been wondering about that too. I have seen S-Video to Component converters that might work on a new TV. Edited August 16, 2013 by SpiceWare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Dart Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I've been wondering about that too. I have seen S-Video to Component converters that might work on a new TV. I bet it would work well, considering how close s-video and YPbPr already look on SDTVs. Only thing I would worry about would be if my next TV will even offer YPbPr component inputs.

WIZZARD77 Posted August 21, 2013 Author Share Posted August 21, 2013 I picked up one of these http://www.amazon.com/Composite-S-video-Audio-HDMI-Converter/dp/B003NS0UUQ and it looks great, but there is a bit of controller lag. I also tried a phillips dvd recorder I picked up cheap at the pawn shop but it has terrible upscaling , very blurry, and has even more lag.
