A composite video signal is a very low television resolution, and
interlaced. If I recall, the signal can range from 200 lines to a max of
525. But even if you match VGA resolution, the quality will stink.
But if you must do it, there are VGA-to-composite converters.

Since Amazon sells new monitors for $26, is it worth trying to repair? You
might as well take it apart and see.

Subject: [SLUG] dead monitor
I have a monitor that clips on top of an Xbox and takes composite in. Here
it is:
http://www.shopping.com/xPO-Zenith-5-TFT-LCD-Screen-G10910A
That shows it folded up. An identically-staped dummy part is behind the
part with the screen. The dummy part stays horizontal while the screeny
part rises up and turns to where you can see the screen. But that's not
important right now.
I dropped it and the screen stopped working. It makes sound, so at least
some of the guts are OK. I think only the fluorescent backlight is dead,
and I suspect that's a regular tube, like what you'd find in a camping
lantern. Has anyone had one of these (or similar) apart?
Also, is there any simple way to convert VGA to composite? Or, are there
any fanless computers with composite out?
