Good RGB to HDMI or Component converter?

[Joe Redifer]

I did an RGB mod to my Turbo CD Interface Unit and I output that to transcode into component video.  There is a big circuit you are supposed to build, but it didn't work well for me so I only stuck the same transistors from that circuit directly into the RGB lines and get great results.  The only issue is that when I first turn the system on, the video is smeary until it stabilizes itself a few seconds later.  Weird, but worth it.

I do all my gaming on an LCD PC Monitor with only HDMI/DVI inputs. I've got one of those "crappy $50 boxes" that I'm using now. This one to be exact: http://www.hdcable.co.uk/scart-hdmi-converter.html
It works pretty damn good with the stock composite signal. In fact, it's shockingly better than my girlfriends plasma TV. It doesn't work well with the funky PCE RGB and sync, but I'm messing around with that in my free time. I can't really recommend it to people who don't like tinkering though, unless they only want composite.

A lot of people these days are stuck with HDTVs unfortunately, so hopefully a nice product hits the market. I've got my eye on the Micomsoft Frame Meister.
