    Ok here I am again.... Is there a way to properly display image from my laptop to my analog tv? I've been told that there is no way and that only digital tv will work. If I connect my adapter from my laptop ty tv all I see is like.... when trying to watch a channel that has no enough signal, you can't tell what really is on the screen.

    What changes should I make in my laptop to make it work? Hope there is way :) thanks guys

    hi, you cannot out vga to rca unless your laptop has that built into the video card for the output. What you can get is either a dock for the which has tv-out should be (s-video maybe composite rca) or ebay a vga to rca converter "box" or device not the straight cable and you should be able to output from vga (laptop) to rca/s-vid (tv).
