Review on πŸ”Œ StarTech.com 6 in. (1.8 m) VGA to RCA Cable - RCA Breakout - HD15 Male to Component Female - VGA to Component Video Adapter (HD15CPNTMF) by Yvonne Roybal

Adapter, not a converter.

You should know that this is an adapter and does not convert anything. This adapter lets you connect a component cable to the VGA port on your TV or projector. However, the VGA connector on the TV or projector must have component pins among the 15 pins of the input connector. This is not always the case, so you should have this confirmed in the device manual. I bought this adapter and it works great on my TV. I have a Seagate FreeAgent+ input device, but it could also be a DVD player with a component output. On my TV I had to go into the TV setup menu and enable the component function on the TV. Other reviews discuss the sync on green requirement. If your TV doesn't have it, it's not the adapter's fault. One star reviewers are unlucky because their display device wasn't compatible, so check your manual before ordering.

Pros
  • Robust design
Cons
  • Without machine
