vga to rca cable

[game01]

can i use vga to rca cable connect mine pc(old pc) vga to tv?
is that 100% work?

it should do.

although without knowing your tv's resolution, the desktop image may appear blurry - should be ok for playing back films though.

are you asking because you are afraid of buying a cable and wasting your money? or have you already got a cable and worried it might 'blow something up'?

to be on the safe side, make sure both tv and computer are powered off before connecting leads - sometimes you can get little sparks if the machines are on.

i am asking because the people who selling says that is for cctv but dont know its work for pc to tv

the cable is like this

thanks for the photo - it helps a lot.

it looks ok to me - so long as your tv has the right inputs. there'll probably be a menu sonewhere on your tv where you can select the input.

note that it will only connect the picture - you'll need another adapter for the sound.

but i wan ask why the seller say only use for cctv?
he say the probability can use for pc to tv is low
ps the cable is same as picture
what adapter i need to use for the sound?

That adapter as the seller said won't work. For starters it is configured for audio as well as video, and unless you have a video card with a VGA port configured the same (highly doubtful) then it is a no go.

Would help top know the make and model of your video card. Make it easier to tell you if what you are looking to do is even possible with it.

personally, i've used such leads in the past with success to display stuff from an old laptop to a tv - but if the guy in the shop says it won't work, then listen to his (refreshingly honest) advice.

then how about the sound?

 

[mickey megabyte]

you'll need a cable going from your soundcard output to your tv sound input.

different tv's have different inputs, so i don't know exactly what you will need - a lot is possible if you've got the right adaptor.

what exactly are you trying to achieve here? maybe we can suggest alternatives?

i wan watch movie using tv because mine and mine monitor too small
mine tv about 40 inch but video input only got s-video plug and rca plug

 

[stormy13]

Again, what is the make and model number of your video card?

 

[mickey megabyte]

yes, please tell us more about your graphics card, maybe it has better video connectors than vga-rca?

yeah mine old graphic card nvidia geforce4 mx420 has s-video plug
i buy this then can connect?
and my new pc graphic card is nvidia GT240

 

[stormy13]

How many pins on the s-video connector on that card? If it is the normal 4 pin (or even 7 pin) then one of these,

Newegg.com - Rosewill - Bi-Directional RCA Female to S-Video Male Adapter

should be all you need.

mine is 4 pin and mine tv also got s-video 4 pin

 

[stormy13]

If that is the case all you need is a plain old s-video cable long enough to go between the two.

i try s video to s video cable but still cannot what is the problem?

This on XP or Windows 7? If it is Windows 7 there is a good possibility it will never work seeing as there is not now and never will be a Windows 7 driver for that card; it is just too old and the last driver update it saw was for XP from back in 2006,

ForceWare Windows XP/2000 32-bit
