Connect computer to your CRT TV.

Update 2009: The original article is no longer available on the internet.

If you really do need a product that will allow you to connect a computer to a CRT TV for whatever reason, then you might be interested in the TV One scan converter listed below, which I currently use to connect my macbook laptop to a TV or video mixer in church (see article at the bottom of page).



Do you have a large screen Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) TV and wished you could connect your computer to it and obtain a decent picture, well have a look a the link below, I haven't tried the circuit, but it does look promising.

Reasons for connecting your computer to a large screen CRT TV include playing computer games, using your computer as a DVD player or just plain surfing the net on a huge screen.

If you have a large screen CRT TV that is far from giving up the ghost, you might try this before you shell out some money on buying a flat panel LCD or plasma screen.
The picture quality will not be the same, but the effect might just be.

You will need soldering skills or you can ask a friend to help with the soldering.

    This is definitely a job for the adventurous. It might be difficulty reading texts properly on it.

  2. The idea sounds very nice.
    But I'm afraid my CRT might just pack up or the VGA card since it was only specified for Radeon VGA
