I would get a new TV with a VGA input.

9 Pins?

Are you sure that's not the RS232 input?

thanks for quick reply,it is a new tv,it says in the book that it will accept several formats including vga,i was thinking of running an adapter on mi pc to the 15 pin rgb on tv with an audio cable,i know my pc needs upgrading,what do yer think:Angel_anim:

Ok, understand now.

The only 9 pin connector on a PC would be a S-Video connector?

Why not just plug the VGA output from your PC to the TV instead of connecting to the monitor? or does your TV not have a VGA input?

I think you can get a S-Video to SCART adapter?

Does the TV have S-Video input?

I think that the 9pin connector is a standard serial cable connection,,, most new tv have a VGA connection,,,, check the instruction book for the tv as to what the vga is male/female, the majority of vga connectors on desktop pcs ( not laptop ) are female!!!

But you will not get sound from this setup, you need to listen from the pc speakers!

Good luck

has your computer got dvi output ? (if not cheap grapics card is about £30 just another option and normally dvi and vga connection )

if your computer has dvi output you could if your tv has dvi ? connect via this

if tv only has hdmi you can get dvi to hdmi cable ..

but something to bear in mind dvi wont send sound signal

so sound would need to b connected via another cable


cheers jas

this was work in progress...........maybe do a finished set up when i get a sec

If you are sure both are VGA connectors? connecting wrong ports to the TV could damage it! you would need these:
SVGA 9 Pin Male - 15 Pin Female Adaptor Cable
http://www.solentcables.co.uk/acatalog/AD-426.jpg
SVGA Coax Male - Female Monitor Cable
http://www.solentcables.co.uk/acatalog/EX-255.jpg
available in 2, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 meter lenghts
don't know if this exists in one piece? if you go for the larger distances make sure to go for well shielded and high quality cable!
