Default Re: HDMI to AV converter with Aurora - aspect ratio problem

Just to close this one out for future reference, the VGA converter finally arrived from Malaysia yesterday after almost a month.

As Peter has said, it provides control of picture width and height. It also controls horizontal and vertical position, contrast, brightness, sharpness and quite a few other things. The brightness and contrast adjustments are handy for fine tuning the picture without disturbing the controls on the TV itself. The black bars issue is completely solved by using the converter and it plays fine from YouTube and other video players.

The only drawback I’ve found so far is the sheer number of cables and converters required – six cables and two converters (one VGA and one Aurora) to get from the laptop to 405 + sound. Definitely worth the hassle though!
