How can I connect an analog monitor to digital outlet?

by plws Jul 27, 2007 7:49AM PDT

My husband has just bought a new HP media center computer online, and we're having a problem. We have a flat panel HP monitor, with analog only (that we can see), and that has only an analog connector going to the computer. PROBLEM: The computer only has a digital connector. Without a huge outlay, is there a simple way to connect the monitor to the computer, we don't mind the loss of clarity. Thanks for your help.

about a 15-pin analog and a DVI digital plug?? If so, there are plenty of adapter plugs out there. Just google "analog monitor adapter".

and life goes on...

It should give you some idea of what's available. But this is amazing..I saw another poster says their new Dell don't have a PS2 connection.
