I have a dvd player w/ component out and would like to watch it on my pc monitor. I am in a dorm room and can't get a tv because I don't have that type of cash to blow. Steren makes a cable that does male component video to famale vga (hd15 I think). I know that these two interfaces "speak" different languages, but I am under the impression that if it would not work, why the hell would they make it? (thinks of bose and then reconsiders question) Anyhow, I know that if you don't have such a cable you have to get a (transciever?) from a company like key or something that will cost a lot of money. Will this work or will I have to get a converter box?
I see one for $44

sorry if this is confusing, I am scatterbrained.
