Hello,

A little while back I got an Samsung CW-29Z418T (Pal without hdmi) for free (someone was throwing it away) to which I connected my PS2 and a vhs/dvd player my grandpa had lying around.

Recently I saw a video by Epos Vox where he connected it to a pc and just today on Lemmy I saw someone use a Steam Deck on a tv.

My question, is there a budget converter with which I could connect my pc to the TV? Preferably Display Port but if HDMi is the only option I can work with it.

I would like to thank you guys, gals and anyone in between for any help you could give me.

Thank you so much, I imagine that a Display Port version is not common.

It's not budget, but if you can find an audio receiver that switches video as well. I had one until methheads stole it, it had inputs for composite component and HDMI that it would switch to an HDMI output.

I would need HDMI or Display Port input that outputs to either Scart, S-Video, Componant or RGB in whatever resolution my tv can display.

Edit: sorry I forgot to thank you for the help so Thank you.

Component out was also an option on the one I had.

That explains why you recommended it.
