Problem with vga to 3 rca cable

[umap]

hi all,

i have bought vga to 3 rca cable (this has green, blue and red wire) and when i am connecting it in my tv it is not working. i am also not aware whether it will run directly or requires some other setings or any thing as.

my tv is of bpl purchased on 2002 which has 3 ports one for video and two for audio. when i am connecing my cpu with tv nothing displays

can some one let me know the procedure or what setting i have to select in my cpu

thanks

This is a component input cable. Does your television have a Component input? It will be labeled Y/Pb/Pr. Y is video, Pb is audio left and Pr is audio right. Component can not connect to standard video input.

i have told that i have 6 pins port in my tv above top 3 are for outputs and below 3 are for inputs from which one is red white and yellow

If this is a laptop, then you have to change the display to output to the tv. Right click on desktop and the options should be there. btw you don't call it a cpu, the cpu is a chip inside your comp.

You've got this a bit mixed up.  These are video only, not audio.
Component Video
Y carries luma (brightness or luminance) and synchronization (sync) information.
Pb carries the difference between blue and luma (B − Y).
Pr carries the difference between red and luma (R − Y).

Composite is probably what he has on the TV, since he said:  "...has 3 ports one for video and two for audio..."

Right. The VGA does NOT have audio on it. So the VA adapter he has is not a composite output device.

I has a VGA to composite adapter and the quality is, IMHO, not worth the trouble, The device is a small box that requires power from the USB port. Nice gadget, but the image is really poor.
EDIT: This company has it, but the price is high.

That is because composite Video sucks, especially at higher resolutions than the NTSC standard.

The best one can hope for with systems that utilize Composite is that they might also allow for the use of S-Video, which is a tad better than composite video. I use a Composite Video cable that also has a S-Video lead with my old game systems and the results are noticably better.

That is a component video cable.

which has 3 ports one for video and two for audio.

And that is composite video/audio- Yellow for video, white and red for the two audio channels. They are not compatible, in any way, with a Component cable.

Go pick up and old CRT monitor, round here theyre giving them away, and people are CHARGING to get rid of them, do someone a favour and take their old one off their hands.

Better picture quality

For the settings, you dont have to do ANYTHING to the computer, you just need to select the right input on your TV.

I recommend a CRT over one of these adapaters anyday, but its your choice.
