Connecting my Laptop to TV

[bonoz]

My laptop has a VGA out and an HDMI out.

My TV has component rca in, DVI-D in, S-Video in. NO VGA IN.

I'm trying to connect my laptop to my TV. I tried to find VGA to DVI-D adapters, but there exists no such thing. And why should there? It's like you are going from an analog signal to a digital one. It would need a transcoder rather than a simple adapter. I am either left with an HDMI to DVI-D or VGA to analog component.

I want to base it on VGA so other laptops lacking HDMI output can be plugged into the TV. What sort of cable should I use to accomplish this. Can I get something like the following and get what I want?

Thanks

I guess you can get the adapter and a RCA cable to achieve this, never tested it out though. I don't really trust stuff I don't see at least, and that link you provided, I see a pic with a shark which looks like a scam lol.

I'm now seeing your item (guess the shark picture was temp). Yes that could work and also the adapter that Bulldozer referred to as well.

Would one of these work: Canada Monitor adapters, Dual monitor adapters, monitor extenders at TigerDirect.ca ?

Yup that should work.
