Cheap capture cards?

[91Chris]

Hello. Not sure if this is the best section to post this in...

 

Does anyone have any experience with the cheap HDMI capture cards that are available on AliExpress, eBay etc?

 

Ones like these...

Just wondering if they are any good?

I'm looking at getting one so I can use my PC as a monitor for games consoles where I would play the games through the card via VLC or similar. I'd like any input in regards to quality and latency. I have seen a YouTube video where a guy used one to play his PSP through it and he described it as "snappy". He seemed impressed but more opinions are better.

 

Not interested in solutions like "why not just plug the console directly into your monitor?". This is what I am currently doing but I'd much prefer to play the games "in" Windows so I can just tab in and out of the game without switching inputs. If anyone is already doing what I'm trying to achieve successfully then I'd like to know what hardware you're using.

 

Thanks,

Chris.
