looks like it plugs into an Svideo out and the goes to an rca to plug in on a monitor. Ex. Laptop Svideo out, then to an LCD TV or something along those lines.

i hooked mine up to my TV once, was a pain in the *** to change all the settings on my computer, when it finally worked it had graphics worse than a Nintendo //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif I suppose they are meant for LCD tv's or used with a better graphics card or something
