Hey guys!

I have been searching the web for ways to connect a console (in my case, a playstation 2) on a computer monitor (Samsung 931c).

I know it's possible to buy a V-Box, PC-Box or any *-Box device that converts RCA-to-VGA video, but also at a hefty price tag...

But i came across a simple and cheap VGA-to-RCI adaptor on ebay:

Do you think it would be possible to use the device in a "reverse" way?
That is, take RCA signal and convert it to VGA?
I contacted the seller, and all he could say was that there is "no circuitry" inside the adapter...

BTW, I already have a DVI-to-VGA adapter, and I already figured out a way to play the sound on headphones using the red and white RCA cables 8)

Thanks for your help!

I do not believe this is possible using that adapter.
