Widescreen Review Magazine uses Moome HDMI products in their reference theaters featuring Sony G90 and Runco 1200 CRT projectors.  "We love our 9-inch CRT projectors, even though we have our pick of the leading edge D-ILA, SXRD, and DLP projectors." - Gary Reber, Editor-in-Chief and Publisher, Widescreen Review

This universal box adds two digital HDMI 1.3 inputs to any display with an RGBHV (VGA) input. It gives you the best image quality possible by providing a direct digital path from HDMI 1.3 devices.  

This product is a culmination of everything Moome has learnt over years of building DVI/HDMI input cards for CRT projectors. It is by far the highest end universal converter he has yet to offer with new features such as: Two 100% HDMI 1.3 compliant inputs for Deep Colour support and a faster 1GHz output buffer and better op-amps for the best image quality possible!

Supply is limited and tends to sell out fast as this high-end product for the discriminating videophile is only built in small batches.

Reviews/Testimonials:

"[The EXT-FULLHD v2] came this afternoon. A few minutes hooking it up, another few minutes with the manual adjusting the picture centering and black boost, and I'm golden. The picture is gorgeous, and looks crisper than that from my EXT-HD. Man, this thing is WAY smaller than the EXT-HD. Thanks, Moome! And thanks to those that worked with you to improve your design." - Rolls-Royce

The EXT-FULLHD v2 box is very new. More reviews and testimonials are still forthcoming! Since the EXT-FULLHD v2 includes similar improvements that were recently introduced to the IFB-FULLHD v2 and VIM-FULLHD v2 cards, see those product pages for reviews and testimonials on the Mike Parker modifications.
