And learn from my bad experience by reading the product introduction to understand what you are asking a little better!

I purchased one of these adapter cables ( VGA to RCA or S-Video ) locally ( 60 miles away ) a few years ago for my vga only laptop. When I found out my laptops video card didn't support the tv out from vga capability, I didn't return it, because it wasn't worth a special trip to get a refund of $14.95 + tax. I eventually found this website ( monoprice.com ) and have ordered their converter, and find it's size and ease of use, to be very good, and at about a third of the price of the Radio Shack Gigaware version that I had to return, after a couple of fruitless hours trying to make it work, and since it was a resealed box (only one left), I couldn't try another one to see if I had a broken unit, or was just not following it's sparse and unclear instructions to make it perform!

So your question here might save you the time and expense, of trying a cable adapter, instead of a converter, if your laptop's video card will not support the tv out, through the vga connection...

An adapter is NOT a converter and very rarely does a vga output support TV out. Vga is a different signal that MUST be converted to a TV signal.
