Connecting Comp to TV Question
Posted on 7/7/09 at 11:50 am
Posted on 7/7/09 at 11:50 am
My TV has components, yellow/red/white, s-video, but no hdmi or computer type plug-ins. Computer has USB and monitor-type screw in type, but no s-video. I just need to see the comp screen on the TV, nothing awesome visually. Went to Best Buy but they didn't have anything that would work with my current plug-ins. Cheapest way to do this?

That's the cable with the screw-ins in both sides?
I don't have that type of plug-in on the TV.

They make adapter..Google VGA to Component...Just make sure you buy the right male and female ends.

also: 2nd video card (old one, 2nd hand CPU store) with a RCA out (yellow out) or even s-video out will cost you all of $5-$10.

Thanks for the help ya'll.
Found a 12 foot VGA to component on ebay for $9. The picture appeared to have the right gender end. Now studying will be awesome.

Hmm... too bad I didn't see this thread earlier. $9 isn't bad compared to walk-in stores, but for future reference if you ever need ANY cables, go to monoprice.com.
Similar item that you bought
A lot of people will use monoprice to dropship items to their consumers. I.e. you buy a cable from eBay, the seller never actually sees the item, just orders it from monoprice and has it delivered to your home without any packing slips inside.
