I am a military spouse who has purchased a JVC 47" LCD tv for my husband who is in IRAQ. I want to get it all set up for him before he arrives home in a couple of months. I want him to be able to use the tv screen as a computer screen via his laptop.
I was told that I need this VGA to HDMI cable. I CAN NOT FIND IT ANYWHERE. Can anyone with great knowledge about these things, please help me with this? I sure would appreciate it. Thanks

VGA is analog, HDMI is digital, there's no cable to connect the two. The laptop needs a video card with HDMI or DVI output. |

There is no cable that can do it; however there are conversion boxes available which are capable of adopting PC output (VGA) whether it`s a laptop or desktop and converting it to HDMI.

Its not possible to go from a VGA signal to HDMI with just a cable. However, there are some devices that pitched as VGA to HDMI cables, but they actually have a converter built in. Also, since VGA does not carry the audio signal, any conversion would lack sound. |
