Component to VGA... Would such a device work in sending HD content...

[aphex]

to a VGA input?

I don't believe so.

last that I checked DB15 or DVI are outputs only

Are you talking about RGB-HV component? or yPbPr component?

Uh, isnt there a VGA input on the back of pretty much every monitor?

yPbPr, from an HD Cable Box.

You would need a transcoder to convert it to RGB-HV then. VGA and RGB-HV component are the same thing signal wise, but different because of the connectors.

I currently have the opposite of what you are trying to do.. i think.

Radeon 7000 -> VGA -> RGB-HV Component -> HDTV

Wait a moment. Are you talking about capturing HD content on the computer or using your monitor as a HDTV? If so, there are VGA boxes that do 480p. I have yet to see anything higher though.

A transcoder like this? http://hardware.teamxbox.com/articles/x...Z3-ComponenttoVGA-Transcoder-Review/p1

What i want to do is;

HD Cable Box ---> Component --> (Transcoder?) ----> VGA ---> LCD

That seems to be what you want, so long as your monitor supports the resolutions that it outputs. It says Standard VGA so I see no reason it won't work.

I wonder how the quality of it is...

I know that regular CRT monitors can put out some pretty decent HD quality stuff. A good example is the useof xbox-to-vga converters that are out on the market. They allow for HD gaming at much lower cost. It should, in theory, work just fine.

This is what I am talking about, for xbox.

That is basically the same device as above, except it has the XBOX input instead of standard yPbPr inputs.

What kind of HDTV do you have? 720P or 1080i? What resolution do you run at. I've got a 1080i TV and it seems my only choices are 1920x1080 (which is a bit too much for my Radeon 9600) and 640x480. I'd love to get something in the middle if it's possible.
