I just made a purchase today that I am VERY happy with: a 27-inch Standard Definition Sony Trinitron (but still with the flat glass screen, not curved) with RF, Composite, S-Video, and Component inputs. I'm excited to get all of my games and systems running and looking their best on my new TV, but I am very confused. To be more specific, it's the component/RGB aspect that has me confused.
I own an XRGB-2 Plus upscan converter, which outputs in VGA. If I hook up my systems using RGB cables run through the XRGB-2 plus, can I simply use a VGA to component cable (such as this one: http://www.amazon.com/VGA-RCA-Compon...=component+vga) to connect my XRGB-2 Plus to the component inputs on the TV? I really cannot figure out if this is possible, sorry if it's a simple question.
I've also heard that with a CRT you can simply purchase the RGB Scart cable for the desired system and the connect it to an RGB to component cable and that will work. This seems too easy to me, but again, I'm pretty confused by this.
If anybody is wondering, the systems that I'm attempting to connect using this method are the Super Nintendo, Genesis, and Saturn.
I'm also curious about using the VGA to component cable on two other systems without running them through a converter, but I'm not sure if it's possible. I have an Atari Jaguar with a Catbox (includes VGA out) and a Dreamcast. Is it possible to use the VGA out from the Catbox or from a Dreamcast VGA adapter with a VGA to component adapter, or are both of these scenarios complete pipe dreams?
If anyone out there can answer these questions, I would really appreciate the help!
