Is DVI the same as (S)VGA? (1 Viewer)

[KellyR]

My TV has a compnent and (S)VGA inputs and I was wondering whether or not that is the same as DVI (actually it has two). Here's a pic:

So does my TV have DVI (It's an RCA MM36110 if that helps)?

SVGA is a DB15 jack like a monitor, dvi looks entirely different.

Not only are the jacks different, but DVI is a digital video interface, while VGA uses RGBhv, which is an analog transmission format. Completely different. so no.

Is it possible to use a converter? Do they make DVI-I to SVGA connectors? If not, I guess I'm SOL unless they make a good component switcher.

You may already have component-switching if you own an A/V receiver that sold within the past couple of years for more than about $300 list.

Except for very entry-level models (e.g., Denon AVR-1602), there are usually two component-video input jack sets and one output set, allowing you to conduct component-video switching with the receiver.
