I bought a VGA to HDMI cable, and attempt to connect the laptop VGA out to the TV HDMI in. However I'm not able to turn on the external monitor output on the laptop, when checking it and clicking ok, it just turns back off.
So what am I missing? Is this not supposed to work? Is there no analog input pins in the HDMI port? Or what?
What are my options?
EDIT:
This is the spec of the TV:
I have two computers I variably need to connect, they have these outputs;
- has VGA and S-video
- has VGA
So I guess I can get a cable VGA to S-video? like this? + extension And only connect the 4-pin s-video?
Will any other connection, like the scarts, or YPbPr (whatever it is?) give better quality image, sharper? Or it will be the same?
