Can I connect a VGA-only PC to an HDMI monitor?
Asked by

I have a PC that only supports VGA, but my monitor only has HDMI and DisplayPort inputs. Since I don't have a GPU, I'm wondering if a VGA to HDMI converter would allow me to connect the two. Will it work?

Are you absolutely sure your PC only supports VGA? Older models usually have a DVI port too. It might be worth checking just to be sure.

Yeah, a VGA to HDMI adapter should work fine for you. Just keep in mind that VGA doesn't carry audio, so if your monitor has built-in speakers, you'll need a separate way to get sound.

You can definitely use an adapter. They're pretty affordable on eBay. Just remember, since you're not gaming, latency shouldn't be a big issue.
