VGA to HDMI Converter?

Archived from groups: alt.tv.tech.hdtv (More info?)

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/PC-to-TV-Converters-...

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/product.asp?c_id=101&...

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?

i hope your laptop has dvi port i found a super deal im buying one my self

Would just hooking up an HDMI to DVI converter to a DVI to vga converter work?

Typical cheap connection scenarios are digital-digital or analog-analog: DVI to HDMI, Component to Component, S-Video to S-Video, VGA to VGA, VGA to component. Whenever conversion is done between analog and digital, price will rise significantly. So VGA (analog) to HDMI (digital) would be expensive. VGA(analog only)-DVI(analog/digital)-HDMI(digital only) involves analog to digital, therefore cannot work as is, it also requires some sort of analog to digital conversion device, again, expensive. If I had to spend the money, I would rather spend on a USB display adapter with DVI output which is cheaper than the analog-digital conversion solutions. It adds an additional display adapter to your computer, which is great if you like multiple monitors, and also enables you to browse web in your computer's monitor and in the meanwhile play a movie to the HDTV from the same computer. However driver support may not be always available for your OS.

try here is this what you need http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HD-Computer-PC-Laptop-VGA-Audio-V...



or here www.thegadgetsgalore.com

Good tools. But I use Presentation to Video Converter and I like program.

if you go this route it's going to look bad on a hdtv
if you're going to spend the money on a hdtv use high def sources for your media
your computer needs to have either a dvi or hdmi output.
i buy dvi - hdmi cables at monoprice dot com

there will be no improvement in video quality converting your vga(d-sub) to hdmi.
Spend less and use S-video or composite

HDMI supports standard video formats, enhanced video and high-definition. It is also backwards compatible with DVI (Digital Video Interface). High-end graphics cards featuring a DVI port can connect to a HDMI interface via a DVI/HDMI cable. This is simply a cable with a DVI connector on one end and a HDMI connector on the other. As a rule, HDMI cables should not run longer than 15 feet (5 meters), or degradation of the signal could occur.

HDMI cable 1.3 and 1.4 is the interface standard.
1.3 released in 2006, up to 1080P clarity. We currently use is the most common.
Version 1.4 was released last year, are 3D, the maximum resolution of support to 4K * 2K. However, very little is also currently on the market of such products.
In addition, B and C is the interface type.
There are three HDMI interface types, A, B, C.
Which is a standard type A 19 pin connector, but also the highest penetration rate; B-type interface size slightly larger, but has 29 pins that can provide dual TMDS transmission channel (double the transmission speed.) The C-interface and performance of the same type A, but smaller, more suitable for compact portable devices.
So if you buy the line, be sure to watch your home television and computer interface which type to buy is not wrong to insert into the.
In general all should be-A.

My TV is a 42" flat screen W/ s-video @ hdmI connectors on both cable-One
receiver & TV. In detail, please walk me thru the hook-up.    

Im not hooking it up to my laptop, just the TV.

it will not work with any thing just get you self a VGA TO HDMI converter box that will cost you around 45 Dollars. that will let you convert analog to digital,since VGA is analog and HDMI is digital.

I would recommend going VGA to HDMI as S-Video is a low quality video signal. What you will need is an active converter that goes from VGA to HDMI. I would recommend checking Part # SCA-VGA-HD.
