A guide to VGA to component converters

A guide to VGA to component converters

Do you have a VGA cable that you need to convert to a different setting? With numerous adapters nowadays, it can be very confusing as to which cables to use. For this reason, you need to make sure that you know exactly which cable does what, and you need to find the right cables. Read this guide about VGA to component converters to learn more.

The main adapters

There are three main adapters for video in the market right now: VGA VGA is probably the oldest one, so you will see these in older model laptops or older graphics cards. For this reason, the video in VGA is not as good as the latest HDMI quality and it has no audio. Some new graphics card could have a VGA cable in addition to a DVI cable, which brings the next type of adapter. DVI DVI is still one of the most popular ways to connect hardware because they have been implemented into so many hardware that they are not easy to get rid of. For this reason, DVI is probably one of the easiest converters to convert with, but you can still find adapters for other converters. HDMI HDMI is becoming the new popular cable because of its ability to transfer both sound and video within one cable. However, it is not the dominating adapter because many people are still using DVI for their hardware. While HDMI will quickly become the new most popular adapter, it is not the case yet. HDMI is very useful for many things, and it is mainly used for the latest hardware such as TVs since HDMI audio and video are both excellent.

How to convert from one cable to another

If you want to convert cables, it is not a difficult task. For example, if you want to convert VGA to S-Video or HMDI audio and video to DVI, all that you have to do is to buy one converter adapter that will change it. Keep in mind that if you buy an HDMI adapter, you are most likely going to get video out of it if it is coming from a DVI or VGA port. The best thing to do is to find out which port you have and which one you want to connect to, and you can use an adapter to connect the component correctly. For audio, you want to make sure that you get a separate audio cable to get the audio if you are not using HDMI.
