HDMI cables are used as digital video and data links between video sources and televisions. HDMI is compatible with DVI interfaces so if the laptop has a DVI output, a DVI to HDMI cable can be used.
If the laptop does not have HDMI or DVI, then there is no way to connect the VGA output to an HDMI input. There are several USB based video displays that can be purchased to connect to the laptop. The display can be used as a copy of the internal screen or it can extend the desktop across both screens. Select a display port that has either DVI or HDMI outputs.

∙ 13y agoYou don't the laptop HDMI is to connect to a HDTV and so is the PS3 HDMI. Even if you plugged both into the HDTV you would not get a connection between them. The laptop may also be able to connect with a camera using the HDMI and it is the PS3 that I based the answer on. I really don't know if you could connect a PS3 to a laptop that was also a media center with TV or HDTV. I do know that the HDMI can not be used to get the PS3 an Online connection and it can only be connected with WiFi or an Ethernet cable

∙ 14y agoVGA to HDMI won't happen unfortunately. VGA is an analog signal whereas HDMI is digital. There is no VGA to HDMI connector that supports the conversion.
Note that DVI is both digital and analog. The digital signal is compatible with HDMI and the analog signal is compatible with VGA. That means that it is possible to obtain a VGA to DVI cable and a DVI to HDMI cable. When connected together, there will be a VGA connector at one end and HDMI at the other. Don't bother to try it though. Analog signals won't ever make it to the HDMI connector.
Most televisions have a component video input which will often handle RGB signals. As VGA is an RGB signal, this may well be the best solution. The instruction manual will tell you if VGA can be accepted.
If the television can't take VGA directly, then consider a USB video card. They are available with DVI or HDMI outputs as well as VGA.

Which is better 1.3 hdmi cable or 1.4 hdmi cable?
There is no difference in the picture quality. You simply need to purchase the cable for the application that you have. If you have a normal Blu-Ray, HDTV and Cable or Satellite HD receiver, a HDMI 1.3 cable is the right type. For 3D televisions, purchase a 1.4 cable.
Can you connect a high definition television to a digital cable box with a high definition multimedia interface cable and a digital video recorder video cassette recorder with a component cable setup?
Yes and No.If I understand the question correctly, you want to connect your cable box to your HDTV via HDMI, your DVR via component cable (Red, Green and Blue RCA connectors), and your VCR via component cables. Your HDTV should accept various video inputs - HDMI, component, and composite (the yellow RCA connector). Most argue that the HDMI connection will provide the best quality video. Next in quality is component video. Last is composite video. Your cable box may or may not have an HDMI connection. If it does and you subcribe to HD channels from your cable provider, then definitely use HDMI to connect to the cable box. If you have another HDMI input available on your TV, then connect it to the DVR (if the DVR has the HDMI output). Your VCR will likely have to be connected via composite cable. It's a crappy signal but VCR don't provide a great signal to begin with. Most VCRs only offer a composite (at best) output, anyway.
