Did you read the customer reviews, further down the page ?

Three customers actually bought the product, and they aren't happy.

yes ic, why would they sell them then? they must have tested it before
making it

I think I'd be searching for a display control panel, with an option
to put a GPU into that mode first. If I saw that in a menu, then I'd go
shopping for the adapter. Consider, for a moment, that it would represent
an interaction between the VGA characteristic of the output connector,
and the TV options. Modern display controls have those separated, so you
can imagine that such an option would spoil the "purity" of the
display panel design. (I.e. If TV was enabled, the VGA section would
have to be grayed out, to indicate it was disabled. And then a naive
user wouldn't be able to figure out what was going on.)

References to that "adapter cable" comes up every once in a while, but I
have yet to find a description of a working setup. So maybe they worked years
ago, before GPUs got so fancy. I seem to remember there was an output
option for the Mac, that mentioned "convolution" and "flicker reduction",
and those are ingredients of scan conversion. But that would be a few
years back.

On the Mac, the TV signal was apparently on the green gun, but
connecting the green signal via a coax cable, gives a gray scale
signal on the TV set. (It is possible, that in the day, I may have
actually built that adapter, but that would be a lot of years ago.
The very first computer monitor I acquired, was based on a 12 inch
monochrome TV set, with a large coax connector on the back, and a
hole in the front of the set where the tuner used to go. It cost me
$150.) So used directly, there is no color, just monochrome. Maybe
the PC went through a similar transition at some point in the past,
but I haven't seen any details.

I travel alot and have many movies on my computer which I would like to
watch on TV, I don't really want to start carting around converter boxes,
maybe something small will be ok I guess
