What kind of cable is needed to connect VGA to RCA?

VGA, a computer video output, cannot be converted to a composite (1 video wire) or component video (3 video wires) signal with just a cable. VGA can be much higher resolution than composite video. You will need a scan converter box to create the NTSC video signal.

Is HDMI better than vga?

HDMI and VGA are two interface standards for video signals. While the two are different, the quality of either of them is dependent on the source of the signal rather than the interface. Both are capable of carrying high definition signals. Indeed, VGA is used for higher resolutions that HDMI currently handles. HDMI is digital while VGA is analog. Although HDMI cables have restriction on length, the image quality will not degrade over a long cable run (subject to the maximum cable lengths). VGA signals can become degraded over long distances, showing up as smeared vertical edges on the display. HDMI carries audio data as well as video, so one cable does the job of a VGA and audio cable combined. It is worth noting that DVI is the digital standard for computer displays. DVI is fully compatible with HDMI video but it does not carry audio so it is a much closer equivalent to VGA. HDMI is becoming the standard for all commercial HD video content. It is getting almost impossible to purchase equipment that outputs any form of HD video on VGA or on analog component signals.

How do you connect your laptop to your hdtv with your vga to HDMI cable?

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.
