Connecting VGA to HDMI is a common topic these days, as a lot of people still have older computers, but have already purchased smart TVs and other newer devices that feature only an HDMI connector, and cannot accommodate classic VGA connectors and cables. The typical use of VGA to HDMI is to connect a computer to a smart TV. You might want to do this in order to play high resolution games, watch movies stored on your computer, or even use your smart TV as a large computer screen for high resolution design purposes.
To connect a VGA cable to an HDMI port on your TV you need a VGA to HDMI adapter. This is basically a tiny box with VGA-in and an HDMI-out connector. You might also need to buy a VGA and/or HDMI cable, if you don’t have them. Once you have this equipment, it’s easy to connect your PC to your smart TV by connecting the VGA port on your computer to the adapter’s VGA-in connector, then connecting the adapter to the TV through your HDMI cable.
The great thing about this setup is that you can have it done in seconds, and that you can typically get all your cables and the adapter for less than $20. Some adapters are as cheap as $5 to $10, although you will probably want to check to see the reviews and quality considerations before buying the cheapest item.
