Hi there,
I bought a new lcd hd-tv but it doesn't have a vga input. It however does have a dvi input. I was wondering if its possible to connect the vga output (on my dreamcast vgabox) to the dvi-input on my tv to get a better picture (scart looks crap). Now I found lotsa dvi2vga adapters but not vga2dvi..There are a few on ebay for like 2-5 dollars like this one: http://cgi.ebay.nl/Adapter-VGA-to-DVI-HD-DSUB-Buchse-DVI-Stecker_W0QQitemZ250120881779QQihZ015QQcategoryZ13 1890QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
The other options are those vga -> dvi scaler boxes but those are like 200bucks lol.
EDIT: here's a better one: http://cgi.ebay.nl/Brand-New-VGA-Female-to-DVI-Male-Adaptor-FREE-POSTAGE_W0QQitemZ110132316673QQihZ001QQcategoryZ41 993QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Now those adapters dont convert the signal (unlike the 200bucks scaler adapters), so its my tv that needs to support a vga signal on the dvi input right?
Any suggestions?
