ROUNDUP: VGA output solutions for Dell Axim x50v/x51v




The Dell Axim x50v and x51v models have a really decent feature: an Intel
2700G Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), which not only means great 3D (gaming,
modeling) and 2D (pixel smoothing, video playback), but also VGA output
capabilities.

Note that you can't directly have analogue (RCA / RGB / S-Video) output, as
opposed to, say, consumer video and digital cameras or the latest multimedia
smartphones like the Nokia N93. You must buy a, mostly, pretty expensive
separate VGA -> analogue converter if you want such functionality. Also note
that you can't have DVI output either. The latter isn't a big problem
though - there are cheap converters and all projectors/monitors with DVI
input have VGA input too.

Unfortunaterly, Dell doesn't ship a VGA output cable with these two PDA's -
you must purchase it separately (this is in stark contrast with Nokia's
approach with their latest flagship phone, the N93, where the analogue RCA
output cable is bundled with the phone.)

Right now, there are three VGA out connectors for the Dell Axim x50v/x51v.
In this roundup, I elaborate on all of them.

First, the most widely known one is Dell's own...
