SVGA to Composite Video

[clarkb3]

My new laptop only has SVGA video out. My TV only has composite (and coax) input. I can't find a way to convert from the SVGA to composite without buying some ridiculous expensive conversion box. My old laptop had S-video out, and a $10 cable was all it took to convert to composite. I've searched the internet high and low but can't find anything. Surely there must be a way. Help?

Your only hope is a scan converter (the ridiculous expensive conversion box!) but the price is a lot lower than it used to be.

e.g., for $72:

or for $48:
