VGA to HDMI cables?

Question

Do they exist? If not, what will i need to connect my laptop to my HDTV? I tried S-Video and got it to work, but the picture isn't clear.

Answer 1

You cannot convert VGA to HDMI but you can convert VGA to Component Video and your picture will be crystal clear. You need a special converter, like this one by Key Digital:

Answer 2

Why not use the VGA output from your laptop? Your TV probably has a VGA input port. You did not mention its brand or model.

Answer 3

They don't exist. VGA is analog and HDMI is digital. Therefore if you want to make this conversion you will need a conversion box that will cost quite a bit of money. A better option would be to stick with analog. If your TV does not have a VGA input you may be able to convert the VGA output to Component video fairly easy depending on your graphics card/integrated graphics of your laptop. Just search for a conversion cable made for the graphics chipset manufacturer of your laptop.

Some laptops also have DVI out. If you do have this and have a DVI input or HDMI input on your TV you can but a simple adapter and have this work.
