Does anyone know if this will convert an RCA or S-Video Output setting into something that can be read by a flatscreen monitor (*not* computer to TV)

For an RCA device, I doubt it. That's what I got mine for, and it didn't work at all. S-video may or may not work, never tried that, but I wouldn't recommend buying this at all.

I use this with an HDMI input. Explain what input you are attempting to use for a specific answer. Only use a TV tuner as a last measure since you almost certainly have RCA inputs or HDMI with a modern flat screen.

There is a VGA conector to use with a computer screen but it have video and audio RCA output to conect to a tv set.

Hello Erwin, I'm not sure but as far as I know this cable (RCA) is analog and you are not going to be able to convert the signal from analog to digital signal (optical cable) without a converter. Hopefully this will help you. Later man.

No, you need a converter that will cost about 30$ or so. BTW be sure its RCA or S-video TO VGA and not the other way around. Those do work.

I tested this by pulling the power cord from the back while it is tied into my computer via DVI connection, waited a moment and then plugged it back in. It came back on to the same input to what I was viewing on the computer screen. So I would say it will do what you want based on this.Good Luck

You can buy a converter box at Amazon that will convert HDMI to RCA cables. That is what I did.

I'm not sure because I only used mine for HDMI to S-Video downstepping. I think you need a different converter. Sorry, I can't be more helpful.

Yes it will covert s-video inputted by either 3 RCA jacks or a single s-video cable and output it on coax to either channel 3 or 4.

No. This is VGA in, RCA out. If you want RCA in, VGA out look at: http://www.amazon.com/Composite-S-Video-Converter-Screen-Version/dp/B003NUN7DG

No, this product will not. You will need to buy a different product that converts VGA to RCA.

I highly doubt this will solve the issue, since what it does is only to convert HD quality from the HDMI to RCA, this sounds more like the cable doesn't work or you need another type of HDMI cable with more capacity, I would recommend going to radio shack

I've never tried using it with a PC monitor; but if you have the ability to convert the RCA connection, I can't think of any reason it wouldn't work. I'm not home right now; but when I get there, I'll look in the box or on the installation cd to see if says anything about it. Give me till this evening, and I'll check it out.

It worked for me using the optical TV source converting it into simple RCA analog left & right cables. -- Wish I could give your mine, having sold my all but this :-)

Sure, with the right y splitters, it should work over RCA. Some tv's also have a monitor out. HDMI gets a little more tricky due to DLNA , but there are devices for that as well.

I pulled out the box and the instructions; and they said you CAN hook it up to a PC monitor if the monitor has the RCA plug-ins. So I'd say it stands to reason that if have or get the converter cable, you should be good to go. This is a really fine little gadget that helped my nearly-blind friend continue living independently. Good luck! Lynda

If just for output (to a projector or screen sharing to a monitor) I'd probably get an adapter similar to the following:
