game_over Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 I've got a TV to hook up to a computer but it has no VGA port so i bought a VGA to HDMI converter but can't get any signal. This is what i've bought: http://www.misco.co.uk/productinfo/productinfo?productCode=200981&affiliate=GooglePLA&cm_mmc=google-_-Product_PlusBox-_-cables-_-200981&catargetid=530001250000128925&cadevice=c&cagpspn=pla&gclid=CP2PiZLu8rkCFTLMtAodgToAVg I have tried various resolutions and enabled 1080p PAL in adobe catalyst software but getting nothing at all. Not really sure what to try now, any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_K Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 I can't imagine that working, you get DVI to VGA connectors because there are VGA pins present on DVI ports, but as far as I know, HDMI does not have such pins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+KibosJ Subscriber² Posted September 30, 2013 Subscriber² Share Posted September 30, 2013 Are you going from HDMI TV to VGA on the PC? If so that won't work. HDMI out on PC to VGA Monitor is what this adapter is designed for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian M. Veteran Posted September 30, 2013 Veteran Share Posted September 30, 2013 Yep, as above, that adapter will only go from HDMI -> VGA. To go from VGA -> HDMI you will need an analogue -> digital converter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Montage Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 How's the quality? What resolution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
game_over Posted October 1, 2013 Author Share Posted October 1, 2013 How's the quality? What resolution? Hard to say because the quality was already below average, it runs through various components and lots of cables (the computer it's connected to is about 50 metres away).. but works fine for what we need it to do. I wouldn't say the quality was any worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
