I bought this cable for vga out to tv. I hooked up and couldnt get it to work. It wouldnt transfer any video to tv! And yes the dual display was checked!






I bought a S-video to rca adapter . Hooked a rca cable to it and couldnt get anything
But straight S-video to tv works ...HELP!!!!!!!!!!      anyone?

You must have an actual CONVERTER and not just and ADAPTER to view VGA source video through a composite input (like RCA jacks). Those wires that you have just send the signal through, they don't convert the signal, so if you have VGA video coming OUT, then you are going to be feeding VGA video to your TV going IN, and a TV just can't read VGA video through a jack designed to read composite video. They are competely different signals!! That is like buying a RCA to HD adapter at radio shack, hooking your standard cable box up to the HD jack on your TV, it, and expecting an HD signal to magically appear. You still have the same signal you fed into it unless you have a separate component to process or convert it into something different first!!

Afterall, if you could watch TV signals on a computer screen and watch your computer signal on a TV screen without converting the signal, then they would be the same thing and you wouldn't need two separate designations, right? You need a CONVERTER like these:

I run my CDG player through an LCD computer monitor and must have a converter box to do so. My converter cost about $60 BUT that $60 along with the $189 I paid for the monitor is about HALF the price of buying a 20" LCD TV and does the same thing for my purposes!!

On ebay I found this cable. It indicates it does the converting for you.
