If the converter is doing the upscaling work does this help with lag on HDTVs?

No, it probably won't help much. I found the lag to be equal to, if not worse than just my TV doing the upscaling.

I found that it did NOT help with the lag I was having with my new 60" LG HDTV (PB6650). However, there is no lag with my new 48" Sony HDTV.

Didn't notice any lag on my tv with a genesis,turbografx,supernintendo or dreamcast...

Yeah there is a tiny bit, I used a lag test ROM and hooked up a Genesis parrellel scart and component to CRT and the LCD was 2.1 frames behind. Which is extremely good. The converter in the TV was 8 frames behind as comparison.

Ran into the same problem. Upon close examination of the user-guide (bottom of page 28), and upscaling section on Amazon's product page, please note that upscaling to HDMI will ONLY work if you do not have component cables going to the TV AND the source signal is 480i/576i (so a component signal set to 720p, or 1080i will NOT upconvert). If you set your device (like an XBOX, wii, or whatever) to 480i output, then this Yamaha will upconvert it to HDMI.

Mark, I just connected mine to my DVR via component cables and am experiencing no noticeable lag while watching TV. I suspect, however, this is because I am using my soundbar as an HDMI switcher. In other words, my DVR, DVD, etc. are all connected via HDMI to the soundbar, which then has one HDMI cable out to my TV. I think this creates enough of a delay in the signal that the picture is now in sync with the bluetooth transmitter, which is connected directly to the component hook ups on the DVR (i.e., NOT connected to the soundbar).

Not sure if the lag is due to the device or due to the non HDMI technology of my PS2 versus my HD TV. I did experience a lag using this device, but the game I was playing allowed for calibration, which although annoying, I could still play.

I really dont know because it wasnt a concern of mine. As far as I understand the lag is in the video processors, in order to minimize the log all video processing should be kept to a mnimum, this means you should disable the video processing in the receiver if you are using one and on the TV itself. I would expect the ViewHD Wii to HDMI to be faster than most video processors on the receivers or TVs.

it depends on how many local hd channels you have in your area. I was able to get around 10 or so local channels. once the hd signal locks into the converter, the channels show up automatically.

I am currently using a manual HDMI switcher in addition to this converter. No problems.

This converter is made to connect an HDMI output on a computer to a VGA input on a monitor (or tv). That is why it isn't working for you.

There is no lag going from composite(edit:component) to HDMI on the passthrough(although there might be a loss of quality. I haven't tested without it, it's been plugged in since I got it.) The capture has about 2 seconds delay.

It does not upconvert images. I would route HDMI through the receiver, and component straight to the TV.

i have a similar cable matters device. the switch changeover is instant. however, my tv has a delay in recognizing the change in input resolution. i run wii, uverse and a blueray with my switch. all 3 inputs are different res (480p, 1080i, 1080p).

It doesn't up convert to 480p, no. It's basically used to clean up the picture quality by converting to Component. I used this, along with a custom cable, to hook up my old Sega Genesis. The picture definitely came through much brighter and clearer when compared to the original.

The adapter can convert digital HDMI signal into analog VGA video and audio signal With this converter, the DVD player, PS3, XBOX360, and some other video devices which with HDMI output can connect to large HD screens or HD projectors with VGA input The product only changes the signal format from digital to analog, but doesn't have impact on the quality of input signal.It supports input and output to the maximum of 19201080 resolution Support HDMI1.3 version (compatible with 1.0/1.1/1.2), automatic detection HDCP

I dont think it does. This is very susceptible to interference. And a converter doesn't seem like a good idea.

I wouldn't know - I bought it to play my Wii on a computer screen. So I can't say anything about HDTVs. All I can say is that there is no lag whatsoever in my case. Sorry !

I'm guessing the devices you're connected to powers it. I didn't have to plug the converter seperately so through the hdmi and RCA cables, it gets its power.
