Dreamcast on LED TV's Via VGA

Post#1 » Thu Jul 16, 2015 10:19 am

Hey Everyone,

I've read several suggestions in regards to hooking up a Dreamcast to HDTV's.
I have no VGA input on my TV.

I took note on a previous post on on the web that a user suggested the "Manhattan" brand VGA to HDMI converter.

Unfortunately my TV (Samsung LED 3D) cannot register the connection for VGA to HDMI.
BUT.... it can register VGA to Component.

So I was wondering what would be the best VGA to Component converter for the Dreamcast.

Thanks for all the help!

I have this one and it works perfectly. I use it to record all the Dreamcast footage for my YouTube channel. Check out the video below for an example of how it looks. Of course it will look better in person due to the YouTube compression and whatnot.

No problem and thanks! :) That channel is actually my secondary channel where I upload just gameplay and other random stuff. My main content is on the channel in my signature.
