How do you hook up a DVD player to a SVGA Monitor?

Normally, connecting a DVD player to a computer monitor isn't possible.

VGA uses separate signals for red, green and blue colors as well as two synchronization signals. Most VGA monitors do not have other video inputs but check the manual to be sure.

DVD players use either a single signal, called composite video, two signals called S-video or three signals known as component video. None are compatible with the RGB input of a VGA monitor.

A note about the distinction between RGB and component video: Both signals use three cables to carry video. In many cases, domestic televisions have inputs that can be switched from one type to another. They are often marked with the came color coding. Despite this, they are not the same type of signal and are not compatible with each other.
