New York-based Pyle Audio Inc. has historically been a legendary car audio products manufacturer. Today, the company has taken an industry-leadership role in the development and manufacturing of professional audio and video equipment. The Pyle Audio PVHDM35 VGA to HDMI converter is one of the company's main HDMI converter products.
There are many reasons that an individual may require an HDMI converter. This type of device converts an analog video signal from a computer and converts it to a digital signal that is compatible with today's advanced technology for big screen televisions, computer monitors, flat panel LCD televisions and other HDMI compatible devices.
The Pyle Audio VGA to HDMI converter can handle all PC analog video signals. The converter's input connection for both left and right audio passes through a 3.5mm audio interface. The VGA converter can handle input resolution conversions of: 1920 x 1200 at 60Hz, 360 x 768 at 60Hz, 1280 x 1024 at 60Hz, 1024 x 768 at 60Hz, 1280 x 720 at 60Hz, 1280 768 at 60Hz, 800 x 600 at 60Hz, 640 x 480 at 60Hz and 720 x 400 at 85Hz.
Conveniently, it has an output resolution that is equivalent to the input VGA to HDMI settings. Moreover, in case the target HD television, computer monitor or HD LCD flat panel TV does not support any one of the available VGA resolutions, this VGA converter box comes equipped with an up-scaling function that has a fixed output resolution of 720p. This up-scaling component makes the device compatible with most digital video receivers.
The Pyle Audio PVHDM35 VGA to HDMI converter is easy to setup if the customer has the proper cables and connectors. Users can enjoy streaming videos, television shows and more. The Pyle converter is an adequate performer. However, for the cost-to-value ratio, there are more robust VGA converters are available on the market.
The Pyle converter comes with a 110/220V AC power adapter. Regrettably, Pyle Audio Inc. did not include a user manual, a 3.5mm audio cable or a digital audio cable for connecting the speakers and other audio equipment.
Pyle Audio Inc. backs all of its USA VGA converters and guarantees them to be free of defects in construction for one year from the date of purchase. However, this warranty is limited to only the original purchaser of the VGA converter. Perhaps one glaring drawback of this warranty is that should the customer experiences a problem, in order to receive a replacement device they must pay for all shipping and handling postage costs required to return the defective HDMI converter appliance.
The website for the Pyle converter lacks a knowledge base, FAQs section or any other type of customer self-help area. However, the manufacturer does list their contact telephone number, street address, and support email address. This HDMI converter may have received a higher rating had Pyle Audio Inc. provided the user with more instructional information. At the very least, we would like to see a comprehensive user guide developed for the VGA converter.
The Pyle Audio PVHDM35 VGA to HDMI converter is an adequate device for converting analog signals to a digital format. However, for the investment, more multi-featured and powerful VGA converter appliances are available on the market.
