Is it okay to directly power the Retrotink to USB port on power strip?
As you can see, I have the power cord for the Retrotink4K directly plugged into the USB port on my power strip. Is that fine or can that damage the unit?

I recently picked up a Retrotink4K and really enjoy it.
However, I realize I need a new video switcher for my consoles. I primarily use a Xbox, SNES, and Genesis. I also have A Dreamcast.
I heard something about getting really good video quality from the Xbox if you connect a component cable into a video switch and then it somehow can output via VGA, but I’m not too familiar with it.
What would you all recommend?
I’m thinking of picking up a Toshiba 27AF41 for $120.
I’ve read online that it is a good, however apparently some people claim that the colors are always off when using component cables.
Is that true? And if so is that something that’s easily correctable?
I’m currently in the market for component cables.
I’ve heard that you really want to get either the OEM or Monster cables, but they are expensive.
I’ve heard good things about the modded cables.
I see some for sale here, and I’m wondering if they’d be a good buy?
