[SOLVED] VGA on Computer to HDMI monitor adapter

[jonnyb]

Are their devices that I hook up to my computer's VGA port and then plug it into my HDMI monitor? The only ones I can find say that they are not bidirectional. I am not sure what to get for this setup.

I do have a DisplayPort on my computer so maybe that would be easier to use the DisplayPort(computer) to my monitor which is only HDMI.

Any ideas?

These are like what I use without issue.

I also use these.

If it were me and I had the choice, I'd use the display port to HDMI.

I was looking at that first one you sent me to on Amazon and it says:
"Not Bidirectional: Only from HDMI to VGA, NOT VGA to HDMI; easily connect HDMI devices with VGA compatible monitor"

So, my computer has a VGA port. My monitor/TV is HDMI. My monitor/TV has a VGA port but we only get a blue screen on the monitor so we think that the VGA port on the TV is not working and that's why we need to connect it with a HDMI.

Why is this so hard?

I simply put in VGA Source to HDMI monitor and got this on the first hit

That's the one I just bought. It's on its way. Hope it works. Thanks
