I recently got a Projector TV with XGA, etc.. but it needs to have VGA in to get the best results. Does anyone know which of the VGA boxes is good, and from a good company?

just got a vdigi box for my xbox, i'm going the poor mans HDTV way and playing it over a big + free monitor. the visual results are great, just as crisp and clear as playing a PC game. i selected the vdigi over teh xvga after reading as many online reviews as i could. bottom line its slightly cheaper and unlike the xvga it allows you to use your cube and ps2 with component cables. i plan on getting a set of cables for my cube soon, dont really see the need on PS2.
the total price came out to about $70 with shipping from hong kong, it came in 8 days and was exactly as described.

Thats what I got and it works great too, dont bother with PS2 though it wont display correctly on a PC monitor. I don't know why.

Any other options, folks?
I went the cheap route and bought the Innovation VGA box. It's awful. The image I get on my monitor is blurrier than anything on a TV set.
I'll go the high priced route if necessary but it's just a simple Xbox-to-PC monitor connection I need. Even the crappiest Dreamcast VGA boxes worked fine for me in the past.
Further suggestions here are appreciated!

Dont be cheap on this one, the converter I mentioned can play all systems threw component, so you can use your Gamecube PS2 Xbox and your DVD player if you like. Metroid must be seen in high def it looks amazing.

I wrote a review on the MagicBox which I'm using to hook my Amiga up to a VGA monitor. You can read it here:

I've been happy with the Neoya X2VGAplus: www.x2vga.com
