The RGB (VGA) port allows you to connect your computer so you can use the TV as your monitor.

(analog)

Component consists of three cables for transmitting video and two cables for transmitting audio: one red and one white. Component video provides a sharper image than Composite video and should be used instead of Composite when possible. However, because it is still an analog connection, it won’t provide the high-quality video and audio that HDMI can produce. Access this signal by connecting the included RGB- to-Component adapter cable to the RGB port.

Good

(analog)

Composite consists of one yellow cable for transmitting video and two cables for transmitting audio: one red and one white. It is capable of transmitting stereo sound and standard definition video (480i). While it provides a good image, it has lower image quality than HDMI or Component. So try to use one of those connections first.

Note: To maintain the display quality, use a VIZIO certified HDMI cable. This cable is available in 6, 8, and 12 foot lengths. Visit www.vizio.com or call 1-888-VIZIOCE (1-888-849-4623) for details.
