    VGA to HDMI is not easy. You would have to buy a converter, not a simple cable.

    VGA does not carry audio, so you have to take care of that too, either by plugging the audio to the plasma separately, or have the converter handle it, plus the synchronization.

    Shaheenster's suggestion is better if your plasma has VGA input. I think most do.

    Another thing you might try is to get a graphics card for you PC which has HDMI out. It might turn out to be cheaper that getting a converter, plus your PC will benefit.

    If you have an empty PCI Express slot in your PC, something like this would do it:

    Your plasma have VGA as well.

    All you have to do is get a vga to vga cable ( available everywhere, online too ) as well as a speaker jack to speaker jack cable and plug your comp and your tv together. Look at your tv manual, there may be some setting you have to adjust. These cables are very common, so you should be able to find them anywhere for really cheap.

    And tip: Remember to go to desktop, right click, appearance/settings, display resolution, and set to the resolution of your tv . You dont want a blurry picture now do u :)

    If your pc has a hdmi port just buy a hd cord and it should work that way.
