    Hi All

    I just got a new TV , but it does not have a VGA connection. I used to use this on my old tv VGA to VGA .

    My new tv has the following connections :
    Analogue Audio Input
    Component Video
    DVB Common Interface
    HDMI
    Headphone
    RGB (via Scart)
    SCART

    My laptop has VGA but no HDMI .

    Whats the best way to connect with best picture quality?

    Thanks

    VGA to Component would probably be better than scart

    Thanks for the replies guys :)

    Is there such a thing has VGA to HDMI cable ?

    My old TV had VGA which meant VGA to VGA - could I expect the same quality with the above suggestions or was not old system better?

    I think you would have to go VGA-DVI-HDMI. Very messy. I'm not 100% sure though.
    I think it also depends on what type of content you're watching from the laptop. If it's online videos and the like the VGA to component would be fine. If you're doing gaming/browsing then the higher quality the better..
