cant hook VGA cable to HDTV

Post by eeee87 »

I ordered this vga cable http://www.racketboy.com/store/dreamcas ... le-box.htm
and received it today but I can't hook it up to my HDTV. The dreamcast VGA cable and the vga input on my tv are both female. Is there something else I need to purchase in order to connect the cable to the TV?

You need a standard VGA cable, like the one that connects the PC to the monitor. Pick one up from your local Future Shop (Canada), Radioshack, Best Buy, eBay, Circuit City, friendly Asian computer store, friend, etc.

VGA cable. Unless you have a laptop, look behind your monitor and you'll find one of these running out the back into the computer. The tips are almost always blue, and are identical each end. Just go to a computer store and ask for a VGA cable, they'll take you straight to one, no issues.
