Being able to convert them is useful, but do you actually need to do so?
You can get a box to convert S-Video to VGA signals for about $100. There
is one from ViewSonic, the "NexVision". AVerMedia makes the "AVerTV Box".
This allows you to use the monitor as a TV, and if that is the only
requirement such a box might be simplest.
