Normally you connect hdmi video into the hdmi input of the tv.
There are 'gender changer' adapters and cables that can convert display port and dvi-d to hdmi
but for vga or dvi-a you will need to purchase an 'Active Adapter' to convert to hdmi.
You see HDMI is a digital signal and vga and dvi-a are analog so they need something to convert the signal.
