[CGUYS] Recs on Component Video to VGA?

2008-09-25 Thread Paul Meyer
I am wanting to play video from a set-top dvd player thru my lcd monitor. (It turns out that the players do play dvd's much more cleanly/smooth than my computer/drives - perhaps the PC is reading in high-def?) Apparently I need a converter (Dell sells one made by Startech - $135 with discount).

If you're going to spend $135 for an adapter you may as well just buy another monitor. Last monitor I tried hooking to a DVD player had composite inputs on it, making it easy. On Thu, Sep 25, 2008 at 1:13 PM, Paul Meyer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am wanting to play video from a set-top dvd

The monitor I want to plug it into is 22(+?), and I paid $300 for it. I see ads for converters under a $100, I just have no way to gauge reliability etc. -Paul --- On Thu, 9/25/08, Tony B [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: Tony B [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [CGUYS] Recs on Component Video
