RCA to HDMI Upscaler Converter
I finally purchased a new 40"HD TV.
I can play my Toshiba Vcr through the coax and a/v connections on my new tv. The vcr tapes do not have a very sharp picture. Would a RCA to HDMI upscale converter improve the sharpness of my old vcr tapes? Amazon has quite a few of them for sale. https://www.amazon.com/Svideo-Conver...a-569349346534 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01L8GG6PW...B0769GMV9YDoes Does any forum member have any experience with this type of device? I do not want to waste my money purchasing a device like this unless it improves the picture quality of my vcr tapes. |

Vhs tapes will always look like hell on flat screen HDTV. They will look worse if you upscale to HDMI. For best quality use a good Solid State CRT TV to play them.

A few high-end VCRs had digital noise reduction systems that smooth out the noise enough that rather than a fuzzy blurry picture you get just a somewhat blurry picture...CRT is the way to go for tape. Also, NTSC is extremely hard to make look good on a screen over 36"

I use one because they usually do a better job scaling SD video better that the TV's built in composite input. I also ran a projector for many years and only wanted to run one cable to it.

Just a Monoprice composite/svideo to HDMI scaler, which doesn't work at the moment
