Hey all, i have limited space in my room and Im looking to use my TV as a monitor when i work on friends computers. I know that the resolustion will be bad, but it will just be for working on computers. My TV takes Composite input(yellow cable) and S-video, and also coax. Im looking to convert VGA to one of those. Is there a easier way than buying a converter box? Thank you.

what graphic card do you have? dedicated or onboard? usually there is the vga, dvi and svideo on the back. the best choice for you would be the s-video. this han handel up to 1024x720 resolution i believe. again ,, we need more info.

Its gonna depend on the computer i am working on at the time, is s video is there thats great but im worried about using the VGA on computer thats dont have the s video.

pretty much if you have a dedicated graphics card, there are chances that you have a s video. even my old nvidia 5200 has had the svideo, vga and dvi outputs in th back.

OK sounds good, thanks for the help.

I use a cheap KVM switch like this

They also have one with audio

Only need space for the computer and plug in the second KVM(A) port and away you go - no degraded video, or extra keyboard, mouse or speakers.

Awsome thank you that would work perfect.
