    Beware of adapters masquerading as converters. VGA is an analog (video only) signal whereas HDMI is digital (video and audio) so you will need some kind of converter, not just an adapter with VGA on one side and HDMI on the other. Some vendors on eBay are selling these and they are completely useless.
