Question: is svga compatible with vga?
Answer: SVGA cable would be backwards compatible to a VGA cable. However there are two main types of plugs/sockets the 15 pin D-sub, and DVI-I. Some older TVs may have 15 pin D sub VGA/SVGA connection, DVD players won't. VGA/SVGA is now a legacy analogue video connection for about 2 years or so.
