It appears you are unsure of the available ports.. Perhaps you should take pictures of your devices and post here, so folks know exactly what you are dealing with..

DVD players normally composite video out, nowadays rare for s-video & YPbPr. Her first link shows the cables she's thinking of...i ask to confirm if it's composite...normally yellow coded rca

But vga is a rgb component signal...very different to composite & YPrPb signal...so cable connection alone will not work...must go through a converter box.

Only DVI-D, HDMI, Display port & Thunderbolt can interchange through wiring...

i was using zidoo X1 II and now I bought a Zidoo X5

However I noticed the old Zidoo X1 II to be faster and easier to use. Anyone facing the same problem?

whats the difference this box with the cable?

Just a normal DVD player with RCA output (supposed meant for output to TV) and i want to output to VGA monitor instead.
The devices are not with me now but anyway its just a normal player with a normal pc monitor

In layman term, i want to use a DVD player connect to PC monitor instead of a real TV.

so complicated...
nvm wait i got time to go take pic of the device 1st

My answer a few post up...

How are you hooking up sound?

A picture is worth a thousand words... Yeah, sound how? Cuz VGA is incapable of carrying audio signals.. The player should have a separate audio out port(s).

sound is passing to amplifier and out to speaker.
just need the video now on the monitor.

just recalled i have the same dvd player with me.
picture coming up

If you have this, then use voncrane's cable suggestion. Don't follow mine

Actually if you wanna future proof, then buy 6 gb...else just get the 4gb one...will last you atleast 3-4 years...before better high demanding apps show up

I'm using 3GB now, serves me very well.

Aye! Had to do a handstand just to view the image properly

Yeah, my initial suggestion should work. However, since that ships from overseas. Better to buy local... Can be bought quite easily from shops (I.e. Plaza Lowyat)... Faster.

Seems like you still don't get it, do you?... It's not about how big, but how it's used (Pun intended). I.e. I still use a Samsung Galaxy Note 3, which was released back in September 2013. Mine is over 3 years old and with a new battery and custom ROM, still feels like day one. Android is pretty optimized, just have to know how to buy the right device and use it properly. Besides, in 3 - 4 years, there will be more powerful boxes.

What are examples of some apps that will require 4 or 6gb RAM that 2 or 3 cannot work?

Yes, good for you

Exactly. Unless you multi-task A LOT, else 2GB RAM is more than enough.

heck my second machine is running 1mb, and it satisfy the major need of the user , my 5 yo son......

Future apps... Which yet to exist.

Noob here. Got 6gb ram android box? So far only see 3gb version

same here, would like to know more about 4GB and 6GB ram android tv box.

thanks.
