    I have an Acer N281G and want to connect to my TV. Two problems, the TV has no VGA, but has HDMI. The PC has no HDMI, but has VGA. Two questions, is the a way to connect the PC to the TV with this current configuration? Or get HDMI on my PC? Thanks for any help.

    You have two options.
    1. Get a VGA to HDMI converter cable.
    2. Get a graphics card with a HDMI connector for your PC.

    Thanks. I have a VGA to HDMI cable, but it doesn't work, I don't think it's a converter. As for the card, this is a tiny Acer desktop and there is no expansion ports.

    Tiny or not, there should be at least 1 PCI slot.
