[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1580908, member: 46727"] Unfortunately no. It's the quality of the video signal that is coming out of your old PC that's in question. VGA is low quality as it is, but when the output is of low resolution it will really not be of viewable quality for things like movies. A new iMac screen has a very high resolution display. For example, I'm currently typing this on a 2013 27" iMac which has a native resolution of 2560 x 1440. Your PC likely will output video at 1024 x 760 or maybe lower. [/QUOTE]
