I believe there was an earlier post on this list about RGB vs YPbPr.
If your video card or TV can be set to either mode then a cheap $3
adapter should work. However if your video card only outputs RGB and
your TV only takes YPbPr you'll need the more expensive converter
boxes that may or may not do a good job of converting RGB to YPbPr.
