That plug is for SVideo (super video). If your videocard has an SVideo output, then you can hook it up that way. Not sure how, but you can.

Oh, my bad.. looked like SVideo at first glance. Yeah, you need an adaptor for that.

Or, you could get a SVideo cable that has RCA jacks on the other end.

ok, i have 2 cables at the mo, one that plugs into the vga, with a yellow fmeale plug on the end, and i have another one that plugs in to the vga, whci has the same vga male socket on the other end, what exactly do i need to get?

 

[harry18]

any ideas?

i cant even find a cable that would fit the monitor

You need to get a SVideo plug that has a male yellow video input on the other end. Or, an adaptor.

i have the svideo plug with the yellow male lead, do i just need an adaptor to attach to the yellow plug, whcih can then go in to the monitor? i think its svhs the monitor plug?
