silverghoul1 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 So here's the problem I have an old 2001~ tv(don't ask why i have it) that's pretty big. I wanted to connect my ps4 to it, but the TV does not have a HDMI port, is there some cord I can buy in (almost) any computer store (radio shack) tat could fix this problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sensei Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 (edited) You didn't mention what ports have your old TV.. I assume it's CRT, not LCD/LED? Early LCD had VGA 15 pins, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VGA_connector Later LCD have DVI analog, DVI digital, or both (better). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Visual_Interface Having to convert HDMI Full HD quality signal to obsolete digital, or even more obsolete analog, would be dramatic loss of quality though.

pwagen Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 There are HDMI to scart adapters you can buy for a few tens of bucks. However, due to scaling and whatnot, results may vary, if it even works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None. It has those 3 classic video-3 in ports, the red white and yellow ports. You didn't mention what ports have your old TV.. I assume it's CRT, not LCD/LED?

So you meant this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RCA_connector Enter "hdmi to rca connector converter" (or adapter) to Google, and you have them f.e. http://www.ebay.com/bhp/hdmi-to-rca-adapter But you must be careful to pick right one: HDMI has to be input, and RCA output, not reverse.
