VGA to Composite adapter?

[ipodlova]

Hello,
Does anyone know of a (preferably cheap) VGA to Composite adapter, or at least a place to buy them? I guess even a DVI to Composite adapter would work too. I've looked at Radioshack and Bestbuy. thnx!

Got mine at Radio Shack.

What are you using this for... you are aware of how poor a converted signal will look right?

no not really, im fairly new to this. im using it to make something similar to this.
(4th picture down). I was going to use these to send video to a lcd moniter in my room, and since im guessing the a/v sender uses composite, i would used a compsite to vga adapter.

and umm you may be wondering why i dont use a tv rite? my room is small, and an lcd tv would be the answer, but since out of my budget, the lcd computer screen seemed the way to go.

(sorry if this seemed kinda confusing)

The best image you will get is by using a 15-pin SVGA cable between your LCD monitor and the computer. This is actually true of any display hooked to a computer.

Okay... well, DVI or HDMI may look a bit better... though not much typically.

So, out of your computer, run the 15-pin monitor cable directly to your LCD display. You can pick up long SVGA cables online including eBay for not much money and they will look WAY better than converting computer resolutions to composite.

Many computers have video cards on them that already will convert to composite... they look HORRIBLE hooked to a TV though, everyone complains.

If your PC only has one SVGA output, you can either split it using a splitter which isn't overly expensive... or better (in my opinion) would be to get a second video card for your computer and dedicate the second video card for your LCD display. Less headaches, and more flexibility that way.
