RGB to VGA help

**devin98** · 02-25-2007, 04:32 PM

Hi Everyone,

Can anyone help me figure this out. I have a 13-pin RGB connector on my monitor is it possible to use this monitor with a VGA connector to hook up the computer.

Here are the pin-outs.

Thanks for all your help!

Dont think you will be able to do it without going through other hardware first. http://www.theavguide.co.uk/view_page.php?page=18 is a link to the pinout of VGA

VGA to RGB converter, there are loads of options but your probably cheaper buying a VGA screen plus you will get much better quality from it.

devin98,
I found a solution, i believe. The connector is a Atari ST (old school i know) video port. I found an adapter on a british online store that has an adapter from the traditional 13-pin atari connector (same pins as the navi port on ur monitor) to the vga connector.

Here's the direct link

Just because the pins line up doesn't mean that it will wok for that application.
