How come I cannot get my laptop screen to appear on my TV even though I am using an VGA to RCA connector?
by spotjack on March 16, 2013Q: I am trying to connect my Acer aspire 5733z to my Panasonic TV. The laptop has a VGA port and the TV an RCA. I have a VGA to RCA cable and although the screen on the laptop narrows I can not get a picture on the TV.
Is this an Old “Standard Definition” TV?

No it’s a Panasonic HD TV TX-P42S20B it has HDMI ports on it but sadly although the laptop was only brought 6 months ago it only has a VGA port.

RCA won’t support HD.
For best results you’ll need to buy a VGA to HDMI signal converter box.
