VGA to HDMI help

[maskills24]

Hey guys, i need some help getting a video single from my old laptop which has vga to my 50 inch tv which has hdmi. I was wandering if i only need to get video, no audio from the pc to the computer could i get this cord: http://www.overstock.com/Electronics/6-foot-VGA-to-HDMI-Cable/6149033/customer-reviews.html?rsort=4
I dont want to buy a hdmi to vga converter, im just hoping its possible to get just a video signal to the tv without any other hardware.

You need these-

You need a HDMI cable, a VGA cable and this

For the 2 cables

For a kinda short VGA cable - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Monitor-Replacement-SVGA-Cable-Black/dp/B001MQGOLU/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1345223829&sr=1-1
For a long- http://www.amazon.co.uk/Metre-Black-Cable-Laptop-Monitor/dp/B002N2KY54/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1345223829&sr=1-2

For a short HDMI cable - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wired--up-v1-3A-Plated-Connectors-Cable/dp/B0017RW94A/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1345223921&sr=1-1

That cable won't work alone as stated in the reviews, HDMI is digital, VGA is analogue.

Unless your laptop's GPU supports "HDMI-over-VGA" (which is limited to 1024x768), your only choices will be to either get VGA-to-HDMI converter or give up.

Yes the cable you selected will work (Video Only of course)

Check your tv again, it should have a port for vga.

Vga to hdmi cables do now work unless you have a special vga or hdmi port that supports input/output of either. you will need a signal converter such as what jay suggests

Ok, ill feel around and see if if there is a vga port back there.

You will need to use an active converter because VGA is analog and HDMI is digital. I would recommend checking ( Part # SCA-VGA-HD).
