Got an old VGA monitor lying around? Now you can put an old VGA monitor to good use, or simply get more out of the one that's connected to your PC. The Visual Entertainment Generator, or 'VEG', is a compact external unit that easily turns a VGA monitor into a multimedia center for watching TV or for use as a display for your favorite gaming console. The VEG can be used with a spare stand-alone monitor, or it can share the VGA monitor that is currently connected to your PC. Connect your gaming console to the VEG and see your games as you've never seen them before, in incredible clarity at up to 1024 x 768 resolution! Connect an TV antenna or cable TV feed and you'll marvel at the crispness of the image presented. The included full-function remote control will have you channel surfing in no time. When used with the monitor connected to your PC, the VEG makes it simple to switch back and forth between PC use and TV or gaming use. A quick push of a button on the included remote control tells the VEG which output to display. The VEG can even switch the sound going to your PC's speakers as well, letting you switch between fragging away on your PC to gaming on your PS2 with ease. Using your connected gaming console as a DVD player? Maybe you should be. The VEG uses 3:2 pull down correction that eliminates jitter from DVD movies that occurs during the transfer from film. With motion and adaptive de-interlacing, the VEG improves the clarity and sharpness of the picture.

a bit of a warning
This machine was my savior when I first got it but things quickly went down hill from there.At first this little box did a great job of converting all my video formats to my VGA screen but eventually I started having problems. I started to notice and electrical buring smell coming from my unit when i used it for a while. Nothing came of it for over 2 years but eventually one day I turned the unit on only to hear a loud popping sound. something shorted out and i could never the thing running again.This unit works, but for how long will it last?I am not sure if i did something wrong or if i had a faulty unit but it worked well before the popping incident so buy at your own risk.
