Hello,
I just bought a 10m HDMI cable only to realise my PC has no HDMI socket, but VGA socket. What can I do to connect my PC to the TV? And how should I program the PC to recognise the connection? Thank you. Ofofr

dont think you can do vga to hdmi without a convertor

 

you can do dvi to hdmi if your pc has a dvi socket

 

otherwise i think you need one of these

You could improvise by putting a VGA to DVI onto a female DVI to HDMI, Note you shouldn't have this permanent and even though the end single is coming from HDMI, it will still be analog.

mcnumpty23,
thanks a lot for your help. I'm a real starter in all this so please pardon me. I was told that blue socket behind the pc is a VGA but what is a dvi socket and how does it look like? I probably have that behind my PC. If not I'll definitely go for the amazon site you kindly provided. Cheers!! Ofofr

i agree

Even the cheapest retail graphics cards today have DIV and HDMI, that would be your best bet other than messing around with adapters.
