I would like to convert a composite video signal(from a dvd player) to a standard lcd monitor that has a d-sub 15 pin connector. If this sounds strange, let me explain. I'm looking for a large lcd to install in my van. I'd prefer to go with a standard pc lcd in lieu of a lcd/tv for several reasons: The main reason is power consumption. lcd/tv's consume nearly twice the power(12v5 to 6amps vs. 3 to 4 amps) pc lcd's are lighter most pc lcd's dont have built in speakers(smaller) pc lcd's are generally much cheaper than lcd/tv's. So, is this signal conversion possible? Thanks..
I did another seach of the forum, and saw a posting by Prisoner, with this link: http://www.trianglecables.com/1footvgadbma.html Does anyone know if this adaptor will work both ways? Most people want to convert d-sub to composite, I want to do the opposite. Thanks again.
The cables sold at "Triangle Cable" are a scam! Read what I wrote about it in this thread (my August 5th posting): http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/96252 This is the kind of device that you need for converting Composite to VGA (D-sub): http://www.provantage.com/buy-7STRV...ntsc-pal-startech-video-comp2vga-shopping.htm It's only $44 at Provantage (the above website), which is a very good price. I don't think you'll be able to find anything cheaper for converting Composite to VGA (D-sub).
