The question is. Are you willing to shell out over 100 USD for a converter? Is using the computer display THAT critical?

NO.

That would ruin my saveings for Vista 64 bit and a new processor.

Yea, now that I think about it, Ill just use the TV.

Ok well I went looking just for the heck of it.

One thing I noticed were these cables that have S-Video or RCA inputs to VGA.

All that I have looked at so far reports non-functional by buyers.

Which is no big surprise because most VGA displays just do not have the internal stuff to break apart the composite signal. Component MAYBE but not Composite. Also there is absolutely NO data to tell the display to switch to the right res and refresh rate. It is NOT possible!

All and all I just would no recommend it. There is a reason LCD TVs cost more than their display counterparts. The TVs have all the internal stuff to handle the multiple sources.

Yea, I got one of those old tvs with the big back end (works pretty good) sadly the Other (16 year old) tv started to go coo coo acouple of weeks ago. So my TV is now the replacement.

Hey Zachstar, since you know about this stuff. Is it possible that my processor (along with Vista 32 bit) making my system go slower than It should.
