I was looking at this:
Amazon Link
I am putting together a small HTPC to stream my media from my media server. Its a Biostar T-force 6100 AM2 board that I revived by soaking it in alcohol.
Anyway, it only has VGA out. And I tried the VGA input on my older Mitsu DLP HDTV and its wavey and even Windows 7 cant pick up the proper resolution. Even when set maunally. (720p is default with 1080i max)
The nvidia drivers and Win7 display porperties dont even seem to agree with each other either. Ive tried VGA before on this TV and had the same issue with a Radeon 4870. However, RGB and DVI-to-HDMI hookups worked perfectly.
The ones that came with the card here. (exact same card)
Nonetheless Im wondering if the above cable could possibly work? The reviews are very conflicting.
If not..Im just going to grab a cheap Radeon 4350 and throw in the machine and use HDMI.
I have to find some DDR2 for it anyway since Ive been borrowing a stick from my main rig.
