I Want to use this from A DVD player that has component RGB out to a 24 inch computer monitor with VGA. Will Monitor fall Asleep ?

It worked for me, without my monitor falling asleep. As long as there is an active signal from the DVD player, that the monitor understands, I don't think that will be a problem. If your DVD player really has component RGB out (and not YPbPr) then it should work directly. Otherwise you have to make sure your monitor can switch to YPbPr input (a menu-option in the electronic set-up menu). Good luck!

VGA is very picky about connection quality. That's why I'm only using this device to switch keyboard and mouse. I connect the display through DVI or HDMI or DisplayPort directly then switch on the monitor itself.

As far as I can tell you should have no problems, your monitor has a VGA input cord, so it should just be plug and play.

It will take any cable, vga, dvi, or hdmi, you should use an hdmi for the best quality. Also the monitor has a bright backlight which is really noticeable on the sides when displaying dark colors. You won't notice it normally though.

Yes, you just need to hook up the Component inputs from the back of your receiver (or cable box) via a long cable to the projector. Use the VGA to Component adapter supplied. Problem is it is not easy to find a 20-30' Component cable - I had to have mine made up at Best Buy - then found one for special order on Radio Shack site for 1/2 what I paid - but you probably won't find any component cables in regular store over 12'. Mine works great. Since my Home Theatre has a built in DVD player, I don't use the optical audio out since I elect to play DVD's through the Home Theatre - which keeps wiring simplier (power cord and component cable)

You will need to plug into the monitor and it won't work that good. I sold it and moved on.

Yes! Obviously you'll need to dial back the output on the one that goes to the powered monitor. RCA->1/8inch stereo cable should do the trick.

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 agree with what ReynerN said in response to your question; so long as you have a DVI output from your desktop, VGA is cake.

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

I am not 100% sure. You may or may not need a digital coverter because HDMI is a digital signal and VGA is an analog signal.

If your monitor is also a tv it probably would shut the monitor off. I don't know if your computer has remote on off Mostly it's fun when the video sales guy ignores you or you want to make your mother neighbors and friends batty. But note it doesn't work like your remote keyboard on off which is totally different

Yes, it will allow you to use a VGA monitor to connect to your RCA video output. Also, it comes with it's own power supply, so the USB is not an issue.

No, you need a converter that will cost about 30$ or so. BTW be sure its RCA or S-video TO VGA and not the other way around. Those do work.

My answer is no,this is transfer signel from computer to monitor has yellow , white and red input. People call it RCA

YES, MAYBE, POSSIBLY. I was using this with my desktop, (has a 850W Powersupply + nVidia 670) to an Acer 232HL Monitor and I would get weird flickering problems whenever I unplugged a USB device or at random points during full screen games. I tried to fix the issue for days thinking it was an windows update or bad video drivers. Switched to a shorter cord and the problem stopped.

I use it from my directv to a computer monitor and I do not use external power. It works great.
