Just wondering if they reduce the quality?

You get what you pay for with these.

If it costs 35p then don't expect miracles.

That one in the pic looks like it just fell out of a cereal box. How much is it?

Its about £13

Any suggestions? I don't want to pay hundreds but I want something that is up to the job.

What are you connecting?

I always hear JS Tecnology stuff getting good reviews, have a look at this...

Well I've got my 360 connected via component and I want to connect my original xbox and dvd player (so i can upscale). I'm mostly bothered about loosing quality on the 360.

Thanks

So your TV only has one component input then? What model is it? If it has VGA you could connect to 360 via that.

Sony KDL 32S3000

Yeah only 1 input and loads of hdmi. Vga doesn't scale properly on this screen (black borders)

EDIT: The manual says it supports vga at 1280x768, but supports HDMI at 1360x768

Mate has one of these (old telly with no HDMI) and uses for DVD and 360. I would recommend this. He found it off some hifi magazine and it did seem pricey to me, but I would rather buy this than the picture in the OP!!

Great quality imo. His TV is not as good as mine but the signal coming out of just the TV or through the component splitter seemed the same to me on his 360.
