Can I use a VGA-HDMI cable to connect my PC (VGA OUT) to my Philips TV (HDMI IN)? How do I connect my PC to my Philips TV?

No, VGA connectors are not compatible with HDMI cables and since VGA is analog and HDMI is Digital, more than a simple cable is required

You have several options:

  1. You could buy a VGA + Audio to HDMI converter this connection. This device will connect to your PC using VGA and Audio and to your TV using HDMI. The Analog VGA and Audio signals from your PC are converted in the device and muxed into an HDMI signal that is sent to your TV

  2. If you have a Tower/Desktop PC, you could buy and install a new graphics card in your PC with an HDMI OUTPUT since it costs almost the same as the “VGA + Audio to HDMI converter”
