Composite or component from DVD player to VGA or DVI on monitor?

[KingGheedora]

I'm trying to connect this VHS/DVD player: http://www.google.com/products/cata...result&resnum=3&ved=0CD4Q8wIwAg&os=tech-specs

to this monitor: http://www.dell.com/us/en/dfo/perip...spx?refid=monitor_e228wfp&s=dfo&~tab=specstab

The DVD player has component, composite, and s-video out. The monitor has VGA and DVI-D in. Is there any cable that would allow me to view VHS tables from the Sony on the Dell monitor? Or would I need some kind of conversion equipment?

you would need a device that converts composite to vga or dvi (expensive), or a capture card with composite input for your pc (~$25). you will not be impressed with the quality sitting close to the monitor.

no, thats only for devices that accept component thru the vga connector. only saw this on a few projectors. you need a transcoder. also note, that particular VCR/DVD player only outputs composite from the VCR part. also take a look at the resolution they output. chances are it aint gunna be widescreen.

actually i was doing some reading and it looks like some dell lcd's can accept component thru the vga or dvi connector. the documentation for your monitor isn't clear though.

scroll down to Color Settings
theres a setting where you can choose HD YPbPr. "HD YPbPr is suitable for HD video playback over DVI." so maybe that implies you can use a little connector or cable like this?

component to vga
component to dvi
you could try these, no idea if it will work or not but the cables are like 5 bucks total so if it doesnt work no big deal
