vga monitor output to HDTV

Archived from groups: alt.tv.tech.hdtv (More info?)

I want to send the output of my VGA monitor to my HITACHI HDTV.
It has 5 input channels. 2 component that are used by my STB and DVD
and 3 S-Video and composit inputs.
I know that Component is best but really do not want to spend $100 for a
swithc.
There are several pass thru boxes that I hav found onn the WEB
Does anyone have any experience...good or bad with these boxes?

I keep hearing that you can fry your TV if ti is not set up right.
I think that the only concern is teh scan rate. Is there more to ir.

Any comments would be appreciated
Thanks
Dick
