DVI To Composite Cables?
DJTommyTheCat:
For those of you who use a television as your cab monitor, what cable solution do you use to run from the PC to the TV? Is there a DVI to Composite cable I can find, or do people use a better option? I don't expect HDMI out/in for the cheap PC and TV I plan to use for my first cab, so I could use some advice.
Cheers!
DJTommyTheCat:
I think I might be looking for a VGA to Composite cable actually. I have DVI to HDMI for my PC to my nicer TV, but I'm not sure what the difference between VGA and DVI is.
TOK:
DVI to Component would probably be your best option if you can get a TV with it.
I suppose S-Video would be the second choice, with Composite being a last ditch option. Not sure about DVI to Composite adapters, but I've seen plenty of cards with Composite out.
Lots of discussion on this in the video forum. :cheers:

FYI, be sure you read the description tab for those products. Chances are they do not do what you want. A simple cable cannot convert VGA or DVI to composite, component, or S-Video. Those cables are meant for select, rare applications.
