Mini-DP to component in?

Hi community,

I am given the chance to go home with a used, but then top-of-the-line TV that only has component input, along with the classical RCA and S-Video in.

How would I connect that to a current-generation MBP with a Mini-DisplayPort? It seems there's no dongle doing such a thing. I already have a Mini-DP to HDMI dongle, which seems useless here.

 

That was one of my concerns, losing too much picture quality, my second one being spending too much for what is essentially an outdated piece of technology.

Oh, I forgot I also have a Mini-DP to VGA dongle, but converters don't seem significantly less expensive.

I do have 1080p movies on my laptop, but don't know the TV specs. Guess I'll have to climb up the shelf (literally) to know its model number

 

A small update on this TV: This is model KV-32FS100 from Sony, 2003-manufactured. According to its specs page 45 of the manual, it's suitable only to 480i, or standard DVD resolution.

In the meantime I was given a VCR which makes a loud ticking noise. Seems to come from the video heads drum, but nothing obvious to the eye. Oh, analog tech.

 

In fact, it uses less than 200W, which is comparable to a larger-screen LED TV. I never wanted a TV. The few times I watch a movie on the computer and wished for a really larger screen aren't worth the cost of (buying, not operating) one.

Free signals are all-digital now, but for some reason (I say "some" because I don't subscribe to such a service, although analog cable is still available for digital cable subscribers) there is still an analog cable signal coming in. It's faint and snowy, but maybe usable given an amp.

What you show is a composite converter, but for quality sake, I have looked at a Component converter, slightly more expensive. But still not worth the cost.
