Hi everyone,

Im trying to connect my laptop to my tv. However my tv is a few years old so it doesnt have VGA imput.
Would a VGA to RCA cable work? How is the picture quality? What other possible solutions are there?

Yes it will work but the picture quality/resolution will depend
on the gfx card & tv capabilities.
My son runs his xbox 360 and has run his desktop through the RCA
ports on his 26 inch Hitachi widescreen tv & the picture is very
good with both systems, his desktop has a 256mb ati radeon add on
card, some ideas are available in the link provided;
