Thread Starter 
I just got a 26" lcd TV from costco. I know the 270 has VGA-out but no damn S-Video. My new TV has RGB-in. Will the VGA-out work with the RGB-in? Do I have to buy some type of converter?

Thanks

I don't know if I am allowed to point you to another forum, and, if I am not, my appologies, but, you should ask the guys over at the www.htpcnew.com or http://www.avsforum.com/ forums. They are the wizards at these kinds of things.

Does your new TV have DVI input? If so, you can go DVI to LCD

They have VGA to DVI-A (analog) cables. You need to check if your TV accepts DVI-D (digital) or DVI-I (digital + analog). If your TV accepts DVI-I, then you can use a VGA-to-DVI adapter or cable.

But the best thing to do in terms of image quality is to get a docking station for your Sony S270 (which has DVI output) and go straight DVI-to-DVI.

damn, only has DVI-D. I don't feel like dropping the money on a Sony docking station either. Oh well, It'll just be a TV for now.

thanks

edit: Wait, maybe I'll look for one of these:

Look into what? A VGA to Component video cable? that would be an excellent idea.
