How to Convert a VGA Connection to a Video Connector
Putting a video picture from a computer onto a television is complicated because the TV doesn't have a VGA connector. Just making a cable that has a VGA connector on one side and a video connector on the other won't work because the video on a computer and that of a television are not compatible. Connecting a VGA connector from a computer to a video connector on a television and seeing a video picture requires a VGA to RCA video connection device that, not only has a VGA and video connector port, but also electronic parts inside of it. The electronics conform the video signal from the computer so that it can be accepted by the television correctly. The VGA to RCA video connection device can be gotten at computer supply stores as well as places selling television accessories.
