Power supply:
The USB cable has practically almost the length of a standard VGA cable (120cm), thus the adapter without additional cables towards TV can be placed.
Video Cable:
It is not supplied cable to connect to TV. CVBS and S-Video provide the same good quality of the TV tube.
About the SCART adapter (not included):
If the TV set is connected via SCART, then a high quality SCART adapter should be used. An inferior SCART adapter can significantly distort the TV picture, in the same building I was able to achieve with 'Input / Output switch' a top image with a higher quality SCART adapter.
Audio cable:
The sound is not channeled through the VGA adapter, so it's as needed directly to make TV an audio connection from the notebook. Of course you can also simply output the sound through the notebook speakers or through headphones. When playing videos remain sound and vision always lip sync, so it does not occur 'lag' on (this is at the analog interfaces used here as well as the rule).
Setting the VGA adapter:
Without OSD arrow keys allow direct shifting the image in the four standard directions. A push button allows the magnification of the image displayed during operation, this may look at video on 4: 3 TVs be helpful because then the 'letterbox' is small, but then disappear left and right part of the image. About the 'Menu' key can show the OSD menu, this allows zooming in and out of the image on the horizontal and vertical level. Brightness, contrast, color, saturation, sharpness and OSD background color can also be set.
When adapter according to the manual 60 / 75Hz is allowed as maximum resolution at 1024x768 @ VGA input. This resolution does not constitute a real limitation of the device because the input interface SCART and composite are limited by PAL TVs anyway at 720x576. In practice, the VGA adapter has a correct image on the TV even appear to 1280x1024, 1400x1050 until the image began to flicker, then it had to be chosen a smaller resolution in the notebook.
The display of my laptop usually runs in 1680x1050 resolution, the VGA adapter I have in this case operated in these two modes:
Dual operation with the different image on both displays (under Windows' Notebook + 1 tube 2 ")> For dual operation of notebook and TV is switched on the notebook with FN + F5 on the mode" Notebook + 1 tube 2 ", the TV image flickers due to automatically set the notebook to high resolution, this value is corrected on the laptop in the Windows display setting in which one reduces the resolution value of display 2 (eg 1280x1024). In this mode, one launched in the notebook window video will be moved to the extended desktop to the right and thus be watched on the TV. During playback of video modes can not be changed, this is above each video playback to finish.
Dual operation with the same image on both displays (under Windows' Notebook + 1 tube 1 ")> best on the notebook reduce the display setting at 1280x1024 Before changing over the display. In this mode, played videos are displayed on both displays.
Use the HTPC (take PC to the TV and watch):
You can use TV sets because of analog interfaces and low resolutions not really a substitute for computer monitors, if you but a HTPC operates with a tube TV to the TV card, then you can take the VGA adapter settings on the PC without additional make monitor, eg to adjust the system time to daylight saving time in the BIOS.
