I'm wanting to buy this adapter to get a Video signal from my laptop to a LCD HDTV via an upscaling converter. Iam puzzled by the audio outlets. I understand that the VGA is only a video signal, why put audio outlets?
Can anyone enlighten me?

That's probably component video, not composite video and audioL/R.

That adaptor is for a specific device that includes audio and composite/svideo on a D15 port. It will not work with "normal" VGA ports at all.

Thanks Guys, I'll buy it anyway as I'm sure the video outlet will work and it"s only $4.

You will may need a VGA to s-video scan converter:

Note that s-video picture quality is far lower than VGA, even with the best scan converter. At best, the luma resolution will be about 640x480, the chroma resolution about 320x480. -
I'm not trying to convert anything with this. I am sure I can get a video signal which I can convert this upscaling converter. I'm not going to slash my wrists over a few bucks, so if it doesn't work then too bad.
At my age my eyes are not that brilliant and the whole exercise is just something to keep me busy. I'll let you know how it transpires.

Why don't you just get a VGA cable and feed monitor directly? The picture quality will be far better

It's not a matter of faith. It's an understanding of how TV and computer video works.
