ADVANTAGES of RCA to VGA Converter

• Could be used if you have no RCA connections on your TV either
• You can add a 3.5mm audio cable and have to ability to convert picture and sound

DISADVANTAGES of RCA to VGA Converter

• RCA to VGA only gives a passive connection, so turning on a DVD player, for example, will not automatically switch the television to the corresponding AV input
• You need to manually change the source or AV input on the TV to the correct HDMI input
• In most cases, the power from the USB port of your TV or AV equipment should be enough to power the device
  • Sometimes though, an external power source will be required and we offer this as an optional purchase
  • If you are not sure, we recommend buying the power supply along with the RCA to VGA converter
  • As the saying goes, you're better looking at it then looking for it
  • This would be needed in the case that your TV doesn't have free USB ports for example
• This RCA to VGA converter cannot work in reverse ie.. VGA to RCA
• Obviously you will not get a full HD quality picture from the VGA output as the source is only RCA
• The adapter only converts & up-scales it
• You cannot magically turn it into a 1080p full HD quality picture
• Never buy RCA to VGA cables. A powered version like this will always work better
