VGA: PC to TV Converter

I have been looking for a way to connect my computer to a old JVC TV that I have. I wanted to do this so that I can stream Netflix videos and not have to watch them on the laptop. Since my JVC TV is at least 10 years old, the only connection I have on the back of it are for S-Video and Component. This right there causes a immediate problem, because I only have a VGA Port on the back of my computer.
Well I did some searching on the web, and tried to find a way to convert my VGA signal to S-Video. Doing some Google searches showed me that there are some solutions, but they can run you anywhere from $100 to $250 dollars. This was way more than I wanted to spend. Finally I found my answer at Sewell Direct .
For $35.00, you can purchase the Sewell PC to TV Converter which they claim will convert any PC signal to a TV signal. Well that is just so hard to believe, especially at that price. So I decided to look for more information out there on the internet and ran into this video, which had me sold.
Now that I have this nice little toy, all I can say is that it works great. It is very easy to setup. There are no device drivers to install, you just hook it up to your computer and your TV. It comes will all wires necessary to use the device, which is really nice. I always hate having to run out and get some cable to make my new toy work. It is also powered by USB, which is a great plus.
I have been using it for a couple of months now, and I will have to say, that displaying video through it looks really nice. Since I have purchased it, I am always watching online content through my TV, and can hardly notice any issues with the video quality. Sometimes I will have to say that there does seem to be a little refresh lag, but I think that has to do with the online stream more than the video device.
