It seems pretty intriguing but I was wondering if modern monitors are capable of displaying Y-Pr-Pb encoded video as mentioned in the note of on the link.
Is this just a feature of TVs and projectors?
Unless your monitor has a component input jack, it can't display component seperated video--PC monitors that can are very rare, although some of the new Dell widescreens have thius capability.
Analog video from a RCA or component source can be converted to VGA/D-Sub using certain devices, but this cable isn't one of them. The devices you're looking for are something like this... http://www.ramelectronics.net/html/video-to-vga.html .
The cable you linked to isn't a convertor for PC screens, it's for TV's that have a VGA input. Since TV's can support component and rca input anyway, they can also accept it using this type of jack, but most monitors can't. I suppose you could try. The point is, this cable dosen't convert component to vga, it just puts the component leads on a vga jack.
