Title: computer to tv COAX
Post by: trashcan on April 29, 2012, 06:35:42 pm

I have been searching for awhile and I just cant seem to find out how im gonna get my video out to a coax.  I don't really want to use a computer lcd for my arcade monitor.  I have a perfect size tv but it's only input is a coax.  Hopefully there is some cheap way to do this.  (less than $40 preferred) :laugh: MY Computer has S video and VGA outs

A coaxial connection will provide the worst quality video for your arcade machine.  Are you sure you can't find a tv with similar dimensions with at least s-video inputs?

But if you must, there are many options:

Beware of pass through connectors.  Those will provide black and white video only.

Well I actually went out and bought a tv today that has a yellow video jack.. Hopefully this is good enough. I just know that I DO NOT want to use a flatscreen.
