Solution A A americanaudiophile Jun 5, 2017 You would need an active VGA to HDMI converter since a cable can't convert analog video to digital video. Or you could one of these https/www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-USB-HDMI-Adapter-External/dp/B00H91BQ7Y/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1496682072&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=usb+to+hdmi+external+video+card&psc=1 which is likely to give you a better image.
