HDMI to VGA

yasserBasha · Aug 31, 2014

I have HDTV and a computer , my video card has only VGA port ,I got HDMI to VGA cable but it didn't work .. why ?
and is there any way to solve this ?

HDMI has no VGA signal to convert.

Only display port, and DVI-I have a VGA signal that a simple adapter will work with.

You would need an active adapter, and they are expensive.

Sorry I had it backwards.

VGA has no digital signal to convert.
You need an active adapter.

Edit
If they exist.

It's a built-in g41 express chipset

If you have VGA on your PC and HDMI on your display, you need something that can do VGA to HDMI conversion, which is a somewhat uncommon piece of equipment. Are you sure you did not accidentally get a HDMI to VGA converter instead? Those are far more common, have the same set of ports but do exactly the opposite of what you need.

no... it's a cable , is there any converter that is able to do this task ?

No idea of which one works.

A lot cheaper than they used to be.

Active adpaters only work one way so you don't want hdmi to vga, you want vga to hdmi. I'd look for it saying active but these usb powered ones are going to be active or else wouldn't need the power. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA1ZZ1JA7409
