VGA is totally a different signal and it will not work is the bottom line. Those cables and adapters also will only work if the device sends out a Analog signal wich the ps4 doesn't afaik. You need to buy a tv / monitor with a digital input (e.g DVI, HDMI) and use that. Sorry.

You can not convert from HDMI to VGA.
There are converters out there, but they do not work.
VGA is analog and HDMI is digital. You have to use an active converter.
They cost more then a new screen would. ($100+)
Because HDMI is digital and VGA is analog you can not convert them.
You can only Convert from DVI-I to VGA. DVI-D will not work too.

A new monitor is definitely cheaper

Just get a new screen. You could get a nice screen for $170.

^^Agree it would be cheaper to just get a new monitor that supports what you need/want.
