Graphics Card VGA out -> RCA Composite Video on TV
Hi all,
Ok this is my problem...... Ive got a laptop that i want to connect to the TV. However the laptop only has a VGA out plug which is to connect a monitor to it if needs be. It has no S-Video or any other connections i could use. The TV also has no S-video input or VGA input as its getting on abit now. The only input it has are the composite RCA sockets which consist of a red, white and yellow jack. Pictured below: ![]() Is it possible to make or buy a cable that will plug into the VGA port on the computer and then plug into the yellow jack on the TV? The reason i say just the yellow jack on the TV is because those of you who know what im on about will know that the yellow jack is the video port and the red and white jacks are for sound. Im not bothered about picture quality, i just need to display whats on my computer screen onto the TV. I found the following wiring diagram by searching on google: ![]() However the above diagram only shows you howto output to RGB. I want to output to RCA composite video (yellow jack) from my graphics card VGA port. If anyone could help i would really appriciate it Thanks |

The difficulty is that the VGA output and RCA composite input are not compatible. You can't just get a cable to connect the two. You can purchase adapters such as this to do it for you.

Yeh thats what i thought m8, but ive just found this on ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/DESKTOP-LAPTO...1QQcmdZViewItem Whats the deal with that? I mailed the guy whos selling and he said plug the VGA connector into your port on the laptop and then plug the yellow RCA composite video cable into your TV and it will work! Is this worth getting or will it not work? |

I was looking for the same info and found that you found this on ebay and wanted tot let you know that same cable is available at this link http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=104&cp_id=10401&cs_id=1040113&p_id=2509&seq=1&format=2&style= its the exact same product for $5.00 and I got it the day after I ordered it, and I connected it to my laptop and nothing happened, tried restarting and i cant get my video card to recognize it, I know its not my port because i have connected it to a projector before... ...anyway if you get any info on how to connect it and get it working please let me know if you can get it to work, also there are native VGA to TV converters but those run from $80 to $200, just run a search under VGA to TV converter on Google and you can find those...but do please let me know if you figure it out... danteka at gmail dot com |

I bought the VGA to RCA / S-video
I bought the VGA to RCA / S-video a couple of months ago. It is technically possible, and there has to be some reason they make them. but i haven't figured it out yet my self. good luck. if you figure it out drop me a line <--mod edit - email address removed-->

Hi Pooker1981 and welcome to Dev Shed.
I have edited your post to remove your e-mail address. It's not wise to have your e-mail address posted on a public forum.

"It will work with laptops and desktops with VGA cards that has TV-Out function capability."
Better search for a "converter" and not an adapter. |
