YpbPr to HDMI converter

Is this device any good? VGA YpbPr to HDMI converter/ HDTV/XBOX/Game/WII/PS2/DVD on eBay.ca (item 120389334193 end time 04-Dec-09 01:40:05 EST)

I want to use it to connect a Wii to a 52" plasma tv. Can't seem to tell from ad what the output resolution is. Thanks for any opinions or (better still) experiences with units like this and the Wii.

I won't scale the video, just translates the signal type.

Re: YpbPr to HDMI converter

I have no idea if this is any good but from what I've read, the company seems to have really good customer service. I believe they are in the UK as well so you can just phone them and return if the product doesn't work as advertised.

Neet® - Component to HDMI Converter - plus SPDIF Audio: Amazon.co.uk: Amazon.co.uk:

Hope this helps.

Re: YpbPr to HDMI converter

Thanks for the replies. I was wondering what the advantage is. or if there is any advantage, over using this more expensive device compared with this much cheaper Wii HDMI Cable:
HDMI Cable For Nintendo Wii COMPONENT CABLE on eBay.ca (item 370290787391 end time 14-Dec-09 12:05:26 EST)
If you Google you can find other devices costing $200 to $300 or more that appear similar in function to the original $75 devices I listed

That's not an HDMI cable, it's listed by an idiot.

if i am not wrong, this device's HDMI output should be 720p it does scales. i seem to know this product as it looks exactly same as one of my facotry's one, and we just designed it
