Connecting Dbox to Comuter LCD

mojavaid36 · 19-01-2010, 01:03 AM

Hi all, I have a spare dbox and LCD that i want to setup for my kid. Can I just buy a Scart-->VGA Cable and connect this up. Will i get a picture on my screen?

e.g.

Code:

check that cable out - it's got the wrong connector on it - it's male to female. I'm guessing you want to connect the dbox to a computer monitor? it's not possible. also, check out the listing 'Not suitable for monitors designed solely for computer use'

you can't connect Scart (RGB) signals directly to LCD Computer monitors, nevermind the fact VGA doesn't carry audio.

I was gonna connect audio via phono's on the back of dbox. I didn't see the line that says "solely for pc use" Back to the drawing board.
