I've had previous experience with products from KWorld and they proved good value for the money, so I decided to pick their product for this set up. The goal is to be able to play my vintage PS2 on a recent model LCD monitor, and wide-screen no less. Most players may not notice but there are plenty of PS2 games that support wide-screen since many in Japan have used 16:9 ratio screens for a long time. There are a few dozen PS2 games that support 480p Progressive mode for a clearer picture as well. One issue however, is that PC monitor LCDs come in 16:10 ratio so the converter must be able to handle it without distorting or cropping the picture.

I ordered the TVBox 1440 from KWorld because it is advertises to handle correct aspect ratios on various resolutions. I still kept my expectations low as I have encountered many products that can't even meet box-printed advertisements. KWorld however, delivers somewhat of a good B+ that is.
