Solved! Can I connect a PC with VGA output to a TV with RBG Phono inputs?

[al92]

I've got an old Toshiba 19" TV which I occasionally use for playing PS1/PS2 games as the quality isn't amazing. It's also got a VGA input on it, but can only handle a signal of up to 50Hz, and even my old Win XP pc is 60Hz minimum.

This Toshiba TV also has component RGB-RL component phono inputs, which work fine. Is it possible to connect a PC to the TV with a cable that has a VGA connection at one end and RGB component photo plugs at the other end? Is the signal type right for both?


Cheers

Something like this?

Yeah, but with male component plugs! It does work in theory though?

Should work as both are analog signals.

If this is an older tube TV, computer output will look really bad on that. The text will be tough to read.

Didn't you say TV has BOTH hookups, so why the conversion? Refresh rate depends what your PC display hardware is able to accomodate.
