RCA and VGA are not compatible. This cable will not do what you want. You will need a converter box (Sabrent makes one for example)

yes, its possible. You'll need what's known as a tv-card. Basically, it allows you to plug in a coax signal to watch tv on your computer. I found it was great when I was in college where space is limited. The majority of these cards also come with the ability to input an RCA and s-video signal, just requires an open PCI slot on your desktop. The brand I have is Winfast and I believe it was around $50 when I got it, though that was about 8 years ago. Good luck.

Me too. I'd like to know if it is possible to connect RCA from say a VCR to view tapes on the PC LCD monitor I have.

If you are trying to hook up any sort of composite device designed for a TV, (DVD player, game console) then this will not work when connecting it to a VGA monitor. It will not support the video as this cord is only designed for VGA out / composite in. You need a converter that supports composite out / VGA in. I did some research and ordered this just the other day. This is what you need to hook composite (Yellow, Red, White) to your VGA monitor. MyGica V2VPro Video to VGA Converter / Video SwitcherNote - that will not output sound. You need another method to get the sound out - consider buying a RCA to 3.5mm Audio jack adapter and plug those into some speakers. Hope that helps!

I have this HP monitor sitting in my closet not hooked up to a computer. I would like to hook up a dvd player to the monitor and watch movies on it in my garage at my workbench. ( There is no computer involved) The monitor only has VGA input. Will this cord allow me to connect a dvd player directly to the monitor and watch movies?

VGA to TV Converter S-Video RCA Cable AdapterThis is not what you think no matter what card you have for video. I have a 200.00 N-Vida for TV and gaming and had Best buy'[s Geek squad come out and fix and they were all certified to date and way past in knowledge. Best we got was snow with barely a picture with sound that was not hearable after 3 hours work where as in 1 hour your "adapter????" was junked and I and my buddy used our own equipment. It was terrible but at least i got a picture and yours gave nothing. By the way if you are going to attempt, line up holes in adapter as they were bent as probably someones return.

Yes, that's what it does -- RCA (or s-video) to VGA. It works, but the quality is very poor.

Luis, here is what I did. I have a basic Dell monitor with a DVI & VGA input connected to my PS3. What I did: (Display)I bought a HDMI to DVI (or HDMI to VGA) and used the HDMI output from the PS3. (Audio)Then, I connected the the PS3 component plug (red/yellow/white) to a pair of desktop speakers. How to: Use the basic component plug (red/yellow/white) [red and white = audio] Go to Radioshack / Amazon or good electronics store and visit the audio department. Purchase an "Audio Component to headphone Jack adapter" What this does : connect red and white component from Xbox/PS3 to this adapter and plug speakers to the other side of the adapter. It should work! Contact me if you need clarification!

No. I only goes one way. VGA out HDMI in. Not the other way around. It sounds like your are wanting to go from HDMI out to VGA in.

It is designed to convert the RCA to VGA only. It did not work for me at all, but it is supposed to only go one way (RCA -> VGA). I would look for an active adapter for your needs.

No. This cable only works one way. You can send a component input (from a dvd player, etc) to a VGA input (a monitor or projector). I tried it the other way, just to see if it would work, but it doesn't.

Is it trying to output 1080p HD? This adapter won't work with 1080p. I had to find this out the hard way. Plus, going through many adapters is not a good idea. I'd recommend buying just an HDMI to VGA adapter.

This unit takes VGA input only, and provides you with three optional output ( VGA, S-video, RCA ). Audio sound must be connected from the source directly to the TV, and if you need to convert sounds from one format to the other, you will need a different unit for that. VGA only carry video, you will need to connect the audio to your output unit. TV/ computer. I hope this information helps.

The VGA/SVGA does not carry a sound signal if you were to get a video signal you would still need a audio cable. Also I think their is a digital to analog issue there. Hope the info helped Happy NY

Mine came w/ a VGA analog video cable that I connect to the VGA analog port on my video cards. I have not had any trouble w/ the connections. Or perhaps I don't understand the question.

Sorry, I am far from an expert on this. I have been seeking the right way to do this since 3M does not support the product well. I searched a lot of options to find a cable set that would allow this unit to work like a regular projector. The cable set listed here will not work on its own but I am now waiting for a new cable that may take the RCA ends on the product you are asking about and turn that into the VGA end that will take video out of the computer and into the 3M projector. Write back in 2 wees if you want to see if I have been successful.

If your monitor has rca in then yes. If you mean to convert rca to vga, this does the exact opposite (but you probably meant vga to rca)

The product, VGA to RCA Converter, works as described, with all TV's that have a "composite" input,that is, the yellow/white/red connections (although the red and white cables are for sound and not involved with this device), and also with TV's that use the outdated "S-Video" input. The vertical color bars, or "stripes" you are seeing is when the converter has no input from the computer. I've seen that screen before on my system when I remove the video connection from the computer first. If you are using the reverse unit, RCA to VGA, then I don't know what you'll see.

This system takes BNC output from a device and converts it to VGA. Where I work, we use a measuring device which has BNC outputs and instead of having to purchase a specialized monitor with BNC or RCA plug inputs, we now use this converter to take the BNC output and convert it to VGA which means that any old computer monitor can be used, instead of specialty (and expensive) specialty monitors. However, this really does not address what you are looking for which is converter for BNC output to a USB input. I'll ask my IT guy about this tomorrow, it may end-up being a solution for you.

That I cannot tell you, because I do not know. What I can tell you is that I use this monitor with my computers that are running Linux distros with no problem. I have heard that the PS3 is a linux-based system. Do not hold me to that. If that is so, there are probably video drivers that are open source that are included in the software distro.
