How to Make a VGA Converter Connector

The VGA signal is used primarily to convert the visual signal sent by a personal computer to a computer monitor. In addition, VGA ports are found on laptops, which allow users to connect laptops to computer monitors. If you wish to connect your laptop to a television, you can convert your VGA signal into another visual signal, such as S-Video or DVI. Making a converter is an easy process, as long as you have the right equipment.

• 1

  Connect one end of your VGA cable to the VGA port on the VGA converter cable. The complete converter is now constructed.

• 2

  Test the cable by connecting the VGA end of the cable to the VGA port on your laptop. Connect the other end of the cable to the appropriate input port on the back of your television.

• 3

  Turn your television on, and change the channel to the input channel that corresponds to your VGA converter cable.
