Is there such thing as DVI-VGA cable?

[JarvisB 10+ year member]

I wonder...

since I just got my TV and it got a PC input.. and I have a Macbook Pro which got a DVI port..

So I was thinking if there is a cable that got male DVI on one end and Male VGA on the other end?

If not then ****, I got to find the DVI to VGA adapter that came with the laptop when I bought.. then I will just find a Male/Male VGA cable..

thanks

I'm sure they have others, that's just the first one I saw there.

I've ordered from Monoprice numerous times, probably the best, fastest service I've ever had online.

one more question-

will I see any difference if I used the adapter and got male/male vga cable instead of this DVI to VGA cable?

because VGA male/male cable is cheaper than the DVI to VGA cable.. (yes I am a cheapass)

Edit: And wtf is the difference between VGA and SVGA(super VGA)? They re the same I suppose(they do look the same)?

I honestly don't know, I have no experience in adapting DVI to VGA or vice versa.

If you have an extra HDMI on the TV you could just do DVI->HDMI as well.

And I have no idea on VGA vs. SVGA

Well I did DVI to HDMI before on my other TV and I wasnt too pleased since the computer wont match the TV size for some reason so I had to view it in "full screen" mode which means black bars on both sides.. I even messed around with the picture size and whatever, none of them would match up with the TV..

I always have thought that using the PC input would solve the problem?

and I m assuming SVGA and VGA are the same..

thanks for the answers man.. appreciate it.
