Hey guys I just want to find out if there is such a device thats converts the VGA input of a LCD to RCA input so it could be connected to dvd players and etc. Sorry for not googling... U know how end of the month is

That won't work. It converts VGA to RCA. What N1sh is looking for is RCA input to VGA output.

You should try to the audio/video stores like Audiovision.

Or...

try that. Once again, it takes the VGA out from a notebook to RCA/s-video. Add an adapter and by some luck it might go in the other direction. Worth a try.

Start heating up the soldering iron:

This is for component video RCA setup. Not for composite. You'd need some device for composite.

RCA is just the name of the connector. it doesn't specify anything about the actual signal carried by the cable. As such, you WILL find people who will try to sell you a simple passive connector to do the job. Rest assured this will most likely not work.

The only cases where this WILL work are if

1) Your DVD player does a true Component RGB output. This will require 3 RCA cables, but should not be confused with Component Y Pb Pr output.
2) Your DVD player has the capability of outputting the signal in VGA form. This would, however, sidestep the problem completely (you could just use a straight VGA cable).

Converting between various forms of a signal is not a simple task. You will require a set top box to do this.

But first we need to know what kind of RCA you mean; Composite video? Component video?

I have a Mecer LT300 TV Box.

I see Kalahari is out of stock though.

I think I paid just under R400 for it and it works great! Remote control and alles.

I mean the 3 cable RCA i.e the yellow cable with the red and white for sound.
