Converting HDMI to Component Using a Converter Box

Do have an older monitor or television without HDMI inputs? Want to hook up more modern devices like a DVD player, game console or streaming device? Then an HDMI converter box is what you will need. An HDMI converter box will take any HDMI signal and change it into a component-level signal. These component-level signals can then be plugged into an older TV, monitor, or projector to display the signal. In some cases, you may have a newer TV and the HDMI inputs are no longer working due to an electoral storm or surge. These boxes are an excellent way to salvage a damaged television.
