WTB prehacked VGA video cable to DB9 connector
« on: August 26, 2006, 03:01:13 pm »
Ok heres the deal.  I need a video cable as soon as possible but I am working a stretch of 12 hour shifts so I dont have any time to fool with it.

Anyone willing to hack a VGA cable and connect to a DB9 connector (with hood attached) and I will pay for parts and the service?

The cable will be for this monitor -->  link

The PDF manual for this monitor including the pin out diagram is here

Someone name a price (including priority mail shipping back to me) and agree to do it and I'll send you funds via paypal.

Thx,
-Dweebs

Forget about building one, they sell these adapters cheap.

I've seen them around.  You could probably buy one at an electronics store.

Wow.

That looks perfect.  Anyone confirm this as working?  In other words is the vga pin out connection a universal thing?  or does it vary with different monitors?

Thx for the help.

Just confirming that VGA pin out is universal.
$6.75 the hard way-one quarter at a time.

I guess now I need a male to male vga cord?

( No male to male jokes please   :hissy: )

Edit:

Will there be any degradation of the video by using this method?

Nope should work fine.
