What is a VGA converter?
A VGA converter will convert the standard image of the console (either composite or s-video) to VGA. They can be purchased for most modern consoles from 20 to 50. Redant are the main manufacturer of such converters. As a conversion is taking place, a lot of image quality is lost. The result is usually less than spectacular and far worse than RGB. There are more expensive options such as the XRGB2 which costs around 200. The results of these are much better, although a direct connection is still preferred where possible.
