I wanted to know if any of you have ever used some AV to VGA converter to connect set top box to a monitor with VGA input ?
If yes then please share your experiences with me here. Any instructions or suggestions also welcome.
What I am planning to do:
Buying such an adapter that will work with a set top box (with card.. means digital. But only AV output) and a monitor with VGA input.
Thank you for any information.
I've done this before but it was a long time ago... probably early 2000s?
The converter I was using at that time was a pci card with AV inputs and VGA output. I was using it to play ps1 at the time since I had a small room and didn't want to make room for a TV. I bought it for ~30$ USD at a local electronics shop called "Circuit City", which I believe has gone out of business since then. Another converter gave me a usable headphone jack for my computer speakers.
It was a fairly simple procedure. The pci card was plug and play: just drop it into the motherboard and the OS detected everything. I'm sure nowadays they have smaller, faster, and cheaper ways to do it.
