Sorry, I didn’t know you were talking about a laptop. I don’t know what you could use for that. VGA is an analog signal and HDMI is a digital signal, so you would need something that could also convert the signal.

ive looked into this, and the convertors are about £150, thats quite expensive considering i can get a new pc screen for that. im wondering if a pc screen i will have the same problem? do u know?

Just make sure it has a VGA connector. Most of them do, though.

Meh, I wouldn’t mess with doing that. You’re better off getting a DVD burner and burning everything, XD.
