Chromecast HDMI to VGA, then to AV

[brandonqdixon]

Hello. I have a Chromecast, but an old TV with no HDMI or VGA input, so I thought I would try to use an adapter for the Google Chrome. At first, I tried to use a HDMI to AV converter, but it did not work, so I sent it back. I then purchased a HDMI to VGA converter, and am using it with a VGA to AV converter that I already had (sorry, I can't post links to show them to you).

This setup works fine for the audio, but only the top left portion of the video is shown. I would assume the VGA to AV converter is cutting the resolution to 800*600 or 1024*768 and "forgetting" about the rest. Is there any way I can either make that device scale down the resolution instead of cutting it, can I do something with the Chromecast, etc?

Thanks
Brandon Dixon

Hello Brandon, I don't have a Chromecast so I'm not sure.
Have you checked the settings?
I know Roku and other similar devices have a setting that lets you change the resolution.

I don't believe it is possible to change Chromecast's settings when it comes to resolutions. If it is, I haven't found any way to do it.
