Sorry, <br />
HDMI is digital only and it does not have backward compatibility with analog devices as a DVI connection. You will have to use a convertor to make the signal capable for your old VGA monitor.

are you sure the monitor is only vga it must be quite old I have not seen a only vga monitor since 2006 roughly as it cost maybe $1-$3 to add say dvi-d port

Hi Guys,<br />
<br />
I was wondering if you guys could answer me a question. I have a HDMI port spare on my PC and I want to get a cable running from it into a VGA port on a monitor. <br />
<br />
I have been thinking and I'm sure I've got a solution. I'm just going to explain it and hope you understand :)<br />
<br />
VGA Monitor + HDMI port on the PC. DVI to VGA cable (VGA goes into the monitor). DVI female to HDMI male adapter (HDMI goes into the computer).<br />
<br />
I'm thinking this should work without the need for a convertor? Do I need a specific spec of DVI?<br />
<br />
I am able to research this but I figured that since we pay for the EE server, I'd use it :)<br />
<br />
Thanks guys. <br />

HDMI Out - VGA In.

The Microsoft Legacy Operating System topic includes legacy versions of Microsoft operating systems prior to Windows 2000: All versions of MS-DOS and other versions developed for specific manufacturers and Windows 3/3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98, plus any other Windows-related versions, and Windows Mobile.

Microsoft Legacy OS

A monitor or a display is an electronic visual display for computers, usually comprised of the display device, circuitry, casing, and power supply. The display device in modern monitors is typically a thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) thin panel, while older monitors used a cathode ray tube (CRT) about as deep as the screen size. They are connected to the computer via VGA, DVI, DisplayPort, Thunderbolt, LVDS or other proprietary connectors and signals.

Displays / Monitors

Components are those devices that are internal to a computer -- the PC boards, the central processor (CPU), the memory (RAM), disk and video controllers and so on.
