If you have an old TV that only has an analog input, you're not out of luck. You can still use it as a monitor for your computer or other HDMI-equipped devices. All you need is an inexpensive converter box that will take the HDMI signal and convert it to analog.
Here's how to do it:
1. Connect the HDMI cable from your device to the HDMI In port on the converter box.
2. Connect an RCA composite cable (the red, white, and yellow cables) from the Video Out port on the converter box to the appropriate inputs on your TV.
3. Plug in the power adapter to the converter box and then plug it into an outlet.
4. Turn on your TV and set it to display video from the appropriate input (usually labeled DVD or Video).
5. Press the power button on the converter box to turn it on, then select either 720p or 1080p resolution using the buttons on top of the unit.
That's it! You should now be able to see whatever is playing on your HDMI device displayed on your old TV screen
