DanSteely Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Hi All, I'm on the look out for a simple and sub £20.00 composite to VGA convertor in order to use a standard PC monitor as a video monitor. Latency is not an issue. I can find VGA to Composite but not the other way round. I'm finding products on eBay which are named composite to VGA, but when you drill down a bit it is not the case.. Many thanks in anticipation. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Remo Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Look at the Kramer VP-413. Ebay link I have one somewhere here I could sell you for £20 posted, but I am off to the states for 5 weeks tomorrow. Used to use it to plumb a Wii on to a computer monitor. How soon do you need one?

bruce Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 If you're searching eBay etc, the thing to search for is "scan converter" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alistermorton Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Also search for video scaler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjadingle Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Whereas I would always recommend a brand like Kramer over cheaper offerings, I've used one of these to display CCTV on a VGA monitor and it's worked ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also used one of those or similar looking thing for cctv except mine came from Amazon. It's kinda fuzzy, worse than just looking at the composite on a normal monitor, depends how good a picture you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart91 Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 I know it's not sub-£20, but in your situation I'd be tempted to pick up something like this. It'll do the composite to VGA conversion, but a lot more besides. There's also more control over the output resolution, scan rate, colour balance etc. which could be useful.

J Pearce Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Keep an eye on extron and kramer on ebay. With VGA now coming out of a lot of big installs there’s a lot of good quality vga gear going rather cheap.A quick browse found a few extron units around £25 that will do what you need.

DanSteely Posted June 19, 2018 Author Share Posted June 19, 2018 I took up James on his offer of the Kramer which I'm sure it'll do the job nicely. Many thanks for all your advice and guidance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
