VGA

How do I connect my netbook with a VGA output to my television with only an RCA input? My Netbook (A Dell inspiron mini) has only a VGA output for monitors. My television has RCA cable inputs (The red, yellow, white inputs) and no S-Video input. I was wondering what I need to get so I can watch movies from my computer on my television.

 

You can try a connector like this one http://www.amazon.com/S-Video-RCA-Adapter-Matrox-Video/dp/B0010WGZQK
Some computers will support downgrading the picture quality to basic TV resolution and some won't. If this doesn't work then your graphics card won't support it and you will need to buy a new TV if you want to watch movies from this computer on it. It's only a couple of dollars so you might as well try it.
There are no other adapters at places like best buy or radioshack. I have spent hours looking for them myself.

It's a little box that converts the signal from the VGA port on the computer to regular TV signals. It would probably work a lot better than my previous post
