    Default Dreamcast VGA S video box...worth it?

    I'm thinking of picking up a VGA S Video box for the Dreamcast similar to THIS one, but before I do, I was wondering if it sharpens picture quality like a true direct line S video would?

    I have a VGA box that hooks to my PC monitor. The graphics look WAY better then on a TV set.

    Using the VGA box with a good monitor will give you a picture FAR better than you could ever get with any TV and SVideo. This is because the Dreamcast actually has onboard VGA output, rather than relying on some crappy upscan converter that just retools the SVideo output. So the picture will be every bit as clear as playing a game on your PC at 640x480. I say buy one. Now.

    Buy it!
    Buy it NOW!
    IT IS WORTH IT. BELIEVE ME.

    I traded for one yesterday. I am playing games on my 19 inch monitor and its like mana from heaven. Its like the first time I discovered porn. Its heaven on earth......did I just say porn? Forget that!


    Seriously though, you wont belive how great the graphics difference is. Things that were blury will be perfectly clear. The difference in resolution is enough to make me want to hook up all 8 of my systems to it. It realy is something you wont regret.
