Hi,

I would like to hook up my Dell Inspiron Notebook to my new HDTV. I could
use S-Video I guess, but I think VGA to HDMI would be preferrable.

Is there a box that takes both the VGA and an Sound jack from my computer
and outputs HDMI? If not, there should be.

Thanks,

Steve

It would be quite expensive since VGA is analog and HDMI is digital.

Does your HDTV have a VGA port? Most of them do. It may be called a
RGB D-Sub 15 pin port (analog). It would be a whole lot easier to hook
your laptop through VGA or S-Video than to find an analog VGA to digital
HDMI converter which likely does not exist. They may be a DVI or HDMI
Video pc card for laptops by now, but I have not looked.

Try going to Beach Audio and look at their Gefen line of AV
cables/adapters. They have a large selection.

Atlona Technologies has just released a unit that has a VGA input and audio input ( optical or mini stereo ) and hdmi output. The difference between other products is that the Atlona unit has a built-in scaler, which means that you would not have to adjust your video card to native resolution of the TV in order to get video. The Atlona box will scale anything that is being sent from laptop or desktop to HDMI and you can select the resolution that you want out of 20 available.

There are 2 models: AT-HD500 and AT-HD510VGA

http://www.lenexpo-electronics.com [...] c-410.html

The AT-HD510VGA has a local VGA output so that if you are using a desktop then you can still have a local monitor working.

You can convert VGA to HDMI, but it requires an analog-to-digital conversion. A lot of people will tell you that when you transmit one format to another you lose some quality - while that's probably technically true, in practice I can't really tell a difference. The main reason not to do it is because it's expensive.

Here is a guide to converting VGA to HDMI.

Well, the Startech converter is great when your TV is capable of accepting computer resolution though the HDMI port ( which is not the case with most of the TV`s on todays market). In order to get the Sratech device to work you would have to modify your video card output to be let`s say 1280x720 or 1920x1080, that modification might require some additional software a lot of time. I do suggest a converter which has a scaler built-in, it is an only way to get what you want without messing with computer settings

Hi ,

As long as I know , there is only a DVI to HDMI converter but not VGA to HDMI.

thats what I'm familiar with.

Best Regards,
Noam

I was going to buy HD Fury Cable, the costs is way less then a full converter and also needs no power source as most converters do. has anyone use this cable yet? seems that it shoudl work. I am wanting to use it to connect my new Dell XPS lap top that has an HDMI out to a DLP projector that only had VGA input the VGA input on the projector supports the use of VGA to Component so I don't see why this would not work.

Ok so I think i jumped the gun and wrote the above a bit 2 quick. I found the above is only for use with x-box - play station so now from what i can tell i need is:

http://www.monoprice.com/products/ [...] 4#feedback

This is from the same compnay just for gen use. and I have found it for a better price. about 75 plus another 8 for the cable to go from DVI to HDMI

seems this is a perfect fit and a perfect answer to the problem?
