Try NCIX or Memory Express. Be warned. These aren't going to be cheap cause you need to convert analog to digital video signal. You're better off getting a new video card if possible.

I doubt anyone local would carry that in stock. Reason being most VGA output does not support digital signals which that cable needs.

What are you using for your VGA output?

changing vga to hdmi isnt simple like that. A cable with an adapter attached would not just do it. You would need a converter which would cost $100 or more. Reading all the reviews from it, the product doesnt work so dont get it.

Like what !MiKrofT said, better to invest in a graphics card that has a HDMI port in it. Most graphics card these days have HDMI on them, and they dont cost much either as long you dont do extreme gaming

I was searching for RCA to HDMI cable back in the summer. And as many above members mention...its not that easy. Most people would recommend you buying a "switch" box that is quite costly. But I did end up finding one that has both RCA/VGA on one end, and HDMI on the other end. Plugged it in the TV...and it works fine.


Edit: It looks like this one:

Aside from VGA to hdmi cable. You need a switch/converter, ncix carries that. If not you can check mono price.
