Autruche Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 They make them, but IIRC it has to be DVI to HDMI. It isn't the only way you can go though. You can also get a VGA to RGB cable. Since VGA is an RGB output (I believe so anyway) you would be better off going that way if you don't have a DVI output on your video card. Assuming your TV has RGB (component) inputs, which it probably does. Quote Need Test Tones/Sine Waves?

R3nOSlaPP Posted January 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 well ive heard you cant just use a cable because one is analog and one is digital and the only way for it to work correctly is to use a converter box Quote Vehicle: 2017 Chevrolet Silverado High Country Electrical: 320A Singer Alt, (2) Limitless Lithium 15ah, Full Throttle FT680-48 Speakers: Stevens Audio SA 6 (ACTIVE), Audio Designs 3” Subwoofer: (4) B2 Audio XM 8’s Amplifiers: (2) B2 Audio Rage 2500.1, (1) B2 Audio Rage 1200.6 Processors: NavTv M650 (integration), Helix DSP Pro MK2 Silverado Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MustangGT Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Yup, exactly what I'm trying to do ^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bre2ts Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 i guess, i am not 100% sure it could be like those dvd player that have HD up-conversion... not really HD though. if you just want to connect it use something like this http://www.eforcity.com/80811.html?efprcggbadtf120118=sc+gb+80811&utm_source=google&utm_medium=product_search&utm_campaign=google_base Quote Feedback 1 | Feedback 2 you win some, you lose some Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autruche Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 I believe that is true for directly from VGA to HDMI. I run a DVI to HDMI adapter for using my LCD tv as a monitor. One like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812270286 For VGA to RGB I've used a cable like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16882719408 If it's for a laptop, the VGA to RGB would probably be the best choice, in my opinion. Then you'll also need a 3.5mm to RCA connector for sound. Quote Need Test Tones/Sine Waves?
