    Hello,

    I recently bought an eeepc 1000h, which has a VGA output connection.
    I have a philips plasma tv, with HDMI connections.

    My attempt was as followed :

    The VGA output is connected to a cable VGA / DVI-A male.
    The Cable is adpated as followed : DVI female / HDMI
    HDMI plugged in TV

    Added to this, I also connected an audio cable from the EEEPC jack output to an RCA input ( red/white ) of the TV.

    TV is the philips 50PF7521D/10.

    Still, it is not working. I assume my mistake was DVI-A to HDMI, but I would like to have advices from you guys...

    Could you help me ?

    Thanks - LeFrog

    I would assume the eeepc's VGA is strictly analog. it won't mate to HDMI (digital) with out some sort of conversion box.

    this would not happen if you have a LED TV. LED TV is a term used by Samsung to describe its line of LCD (liquid crystal display) TVsthat use LED backlighting.
    LED-backlit LCD TVs do differ from conventional LCD TVs in some important areas:
    1- They can produce a very bright image and deep blacks (doesn't work for Edge-LED
    2- With Edge-LED lighting they can be extremely slim.
    3- They can offer lower power consumption.
    4- They can offer a wider colour gamut, especially when RGB-LED backlighting is used.

    If your TV has composite input, you may be able to use a VGA to composite adapter. I believe they run about $25 on the internet.
