Or you could build your own VGA adaptor by following these instructions:

I am afraid not
VGA uses completely different sync frequencies than normal 'AV' video and alas there is no easy way to convert the signal.
You can buy converters to connect any video source to a VGA monitor, but these are either VERY expensive, or have VERY bad picture quality

Is their a way to do this without any switches just straight DC -> Monitor I would like this since I have very little knowledge when it comes to this type of thing and if I want to use composite again I will just plug the appropriate cable in. Plus I would like this as cheap as possible since I am unemployed and my reserve money is drying up

There is now an adapter availible from pelican acessories for 50$ that has multiple AV inputs. I am unaware of its quality however. I would suggest buyin a real VGA adapter for Dreamcast since AV to VGA generally has poor quality compared to a direct VGA signal. I would reccomend the Performance VGA adapter, which has a PC signal pass through port so you can have your PC and Dreamcast connected to the same monitor. It also has TV AV out as well. It comes with all the necessary cables to do so and is only 40$. Definately worth the money in my opinion.You can buy converters to connect any video source to a VGA monitor, but these are either VERY expensive, or have VERY bad picture quality

i agree, thats the one i have, and not only is its quality very good, it *looks* like a piece of dc hardware (color and shape blend it) and the passthru makes it much easier to use...only prob is no volume knob which means if you were planning to use your pc speakers, make sure they have their own volume control (or youll have to do like me and get a headphone inline volume adjuste)...they dont really need to be amplified as even though the sound is all coming straight from the dc av-out, it is actually quite loud and i generally keep the volume around half, but if youre playing in a high traffic area, you might want amplified speakers (or headphones)ShadowofBob wrote: I would reccomend the Performance VGA adapter, which has a PC signal pass through port so you can have your PC and Dreamcast connected to the same monitor, blah, blah, blah...
