PC (VGA) to TV (red,white,yellow) CONVERTER

    Hello,

    I have a PC with a VGA output, and a TV with a red, white, and yellow input (not sure what this is called in technical terms). Anyway, it is a regular interface that I usually connect to my DVD player. You know what I'm talking about.

    I want to connect my PC to the TV so that I can use my TV as a computer screen.

    The question is, what type of cable do I need, and is this possible at all?

    For any help and feedback - thank you.

    Anders

    You would need a VGA to composite converter. It is not a cable, but a converter box. It would not handle audio.
