    Question for Techies... VGA to HDMI

    Hi guys,

    This is a serious techie question...

    Does anyone know of a converter to go from standard VGA
    to a 1920x1080p HDMI connection?


    Thanks!

      If such an adapter is avalable (i don't know), it would be very expensive! If your TV supports it (digital signal without HDCP), i would replace the graphics card. Then you would be able to connect the TV with a DVI -> HDMI cable digitally.

          they exist...but there is no point. it would be cheaper to buy an video card with HDMI/DVI output

                  buy a better laptop then... you're going to be paying $300+ for a converter

                      Why not just use the VGA input on the TV? VGA will do 1080 fine.

                          i dont mind paying $300 for a converter... i will be using the converter on many laptops that use my 1920x1080 tv/monitor.

                              the monitor/tv does not have VGA in, that is why I can't do that.

                                  Don't see to many without vga.
                                  Use a vga to dvi then. Those are only about $3 for a converter.

                                              you're confused with dvi-a to vga, there is a lot involved with getting an analog signal converted to digital, much more than a $3 thing

                                                      Will that convert take VGA 1920x1080 out and convert it properly to HDMI?
