| VGA conversion to...? I have an InFocus72 projector that I want to use with my laptop, (Watch shows from Hulu, etc.). The problem is the laptop will only send video via VGA, and the projector will accept it in just about any source other than VGA (DVI, s-video, component, composite). I see there are VGA to Component adapters out there but wondering if that will work, given the other variables such as video drivers. The laptop is a Lenovo T500. Will the cable work? Any other ideas for projecting from the laptop? Many thanks. | ||||

| Re: VGA conversion to...? Thanks for the info. I will try the converter box and see if that works. Wondering also if I should try a vga to hdmi (digital to digital) rather than try to convert digital to analog. Nick | ||||

| Re: VGA conversion to...? I don't think VGA is digital. | ||||

| Re: VGA conversion to...? According to my quick Web search, the Infocus 72 has an "M1" universal connector which can accept VGA signals. All you need is an appropriate cable or adapter. InFocus sells appropriate cables. See http://www.infocus.com/Accessories/Cable/SP_DVI_A_R.aspx Lots of other companies do, too. Do a Web search for m1 vga adapter | ||||
