Some people might be thrilled with the prospect of buying various cables for conversion purposes. With that said, the thing you should really take into consideration when purchasing a collection of VGA-to-HDMI cables is the fact that these cables alone won't convert your VGA (and audio) feed to an HDMI signal. You need a converter to make it work, plus this isn't a plug-and-play deal in the least; you should research what's involved when plugging your computer into a high-definition television before going through this activity. Just because HDTV is a lot more "digital" in nature than your average CRT "boob tube", it doesn't necessarily mean that VGA to HDMI conversion is a more straightforward deal.

Your cable will have nothing to connect to without a converter; in turn, a converter can't function properly unless you buy the right cables for the job, or else the feed it'll receive will be choppy or come out the wrong color when connected to your HDTV. This is the type of process that requires technical knowhow. Furthermore, contrary to popular belief, even though the VGA of your computer is inside your computer and it's powered by your video card, that doesn't mean it is "digital"; the VGA signal in and of itself remains analog, such that conversion is called for when turning it into an HDMI feed. If VGA were digital, then connecting your computer to your HDTV would be a lot simple.
