All the LCD's in our house have DVI and VGA inputs. None support S-Video or any analog formats.
Our game systems (nes, snes, n64, ps, ps2, gamecube, etc..) and DVD and VHS players only have composite (the yellow/red/white cords..?) or S-Video (that PS2-input like cable..?).
How can I convert the signal these analog systems output to work on VGA or DVI?

@Xeoncross: Remember its from "S-Video to VGA/DVI" (DVD to LCD) which is hard to do ... :) – quack quixote – 2010-04-09T17:54:34.817

This can definitely be done, but you'll need the right adapter for the job. Check newegg, amazon, Radio Shack, etc for whatever adapter you need (ie S-Video to VGA, etc, etc). Some of these most certainly exist and others may not.

Remember its from "S-Video to VGA/DVI" (DVD to LCD) which is hard to do and not "VGA to S-Video" (PC to TV) which is simple. – Xeoncross – 2010-04-09T16:48:21.317
1I'm not really sure we are still in Super User's scope. I mean, it is around a computer LCD, but the question is really about connectors between things which are out of the scope. In doubt, though, not voting to close. – Gnoupi – 2010-04-09T16:58:37.253
No, this does not belong on SuperUser. The faq explicitly prohibits gaming and game-console related questions. – BBlake – 2010-04-09T17:13:52.210
This question may not belong on SuperUser, but it has more up votes than any other question listed on the first page. – Michaelkay – 2010-04-09T17:36:51.533

this is slightly gray area because it's a computer monitor, but it's really a question about home theater equipment which is offtopic here. try Home4Film or another StackExchange site.
