Is there any way to take the VGA output on a computer, and feed it into a TV that has the coaxial arial connector? Im just curious, maybe for a project im working on.

Google vga rf modulator and go from there :)

What Vectis said, but the actual display will be pretty awful and probably unreadable unless you use a stoopidly low resolution like 640x480 or 800x600.
It is also unlikely to fill the screen in the same was as a dedicated monitor with vga in, unless you get one of the more expensive convertors (£100+).

Depends what you are trying to display... if it's graphics (not text) then a cheap one might be OK:confused:

if your talking about a normal PC, the you have the option of fitting a graphic card with video out built in. or even a s-video output and use a scart lead converter. There are numerous ways tbh to solve situation depends on what output quality and job your trying to achieve

You should be able to convert down to composite video and just use a scart connection, rather than modulating and using co-ax. Would need a few more details on exactly what you're attempting to acheive before giving advice though.

Its to run winamp visuals in one of the pubs i work in. The pub has (for want of a better term) a tv switching unit which has standard ariels in the back which already has kalidovision and 2 sky boxes into it, then they select the relevent input, and assign it to an out-put (one of 7 tvs).

Im wanting to take the vga from a laptop running milkdrop vis on winamp and feed it into the switching box, then assign that input to the dancefloor tvs,
