Can I connect Component video source to 5xBNC Monitor?

[tito13kfm]

I found these on the back of my monitor and was wondering if they are component video inputs. Or maybe something else?

EDIT: Found out they are 5xBNC connectors (thank you google) There is also a H and V which I guess would be horizontal and vertical signals.

They look kind of like component inputs in that they are R, G and B but they have a little Vertical Slots instead of a RCA type plug, and little nubs around the outside (kind of like a Coax type connection for 10baseT)



EDIT: Is there any way to connect my Comonent output (RGB) to the 5xBNC connectors on my monitor?

I bought my monitor from ebay so of course there is no manual, but I know its a Dell UltraScan 21TE Monitor (D2130T-HS) and that it's manufactured by Mitsubishi/NEC based on their ProScan series I believe (very similar to thier 21T or TX)

I don't know if this is the right place to be asking this question, but.

Thanks in advance everybody.

Sorry for the POOR picture quality but the lighting in my room sucks and my camera can't focus well in low light. also the 50kb limit is kind of limiting.

Those are BNC connectors on the back of your monitor. For information about the difference between RGB and Component Video, read this:

Thank you for the quick reply.. I was just editing my original post when you replied. Is it possible to convert component output to 5xBNC? Or would I need a DVD player with the BNC type connectors? If I buy one of these players would I get High Definition on my Monitor? (Yes these probably are stupid questions. And I'm hitting up google right now, but if anybody knows I would be HIGHLY appreciative)

Yes, it is possible, but you will need a "Component to RGB video converter" like the one on this page (do a Google search to find more, possibly cheaper ones).

I have the same type of monitor that you have. It requires a special monitor cable that most computer stores carry. I know Best Buy does. The only problem that I've run into is that the second monitor I bought(21" for $25.00) ended up being a fixed freq monitor and requires a special video card.

thank you so much for the quick replies.

So apparently it can be done, but not within my budget (for now).

Apparently I would need this converter box plus a VGA to RGB Cable. And this would allow me to hookup my dvd player to my monitor, unfortunately I would probalby be better off taking that $200 and putting it toward a new tv set with component inputs. Either that or buying a 2nd one of these monitors and the converter box and cable, would cost me like $400 total.

But the question still remains, would this allow me to watch Progressive scan High Def on my Monitor?

Hmm.. maybe this would be a good deal.
