I'm looking for a VGA to HDMI convertor.

I have found plenty, but would prefer one with switched inputs, e.g. VGA / HDMI inputs to HDMI output.

Does anyone know of such a device?

I have found this on Misco's website, but sadly it doesn't have switched inputs.

It also looks dear for what it is? But I guess the qulity of these things vary.

We need this for our meeting room - which has a Samsung 60" TV.

Yes, the TV does have a VGA socket too - but it's not practical to run a VGA cable at this stage.

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks.

Could you use a vga to hdmi adaptor plugged into a 2 way HDMI switch?

Kramer VS-728 has 2 HDMI, 2 VGA and built in scaler to ensure the HDMI output is always right.

The initial brief was for:



VGA --CONV --> HDMI ----\
\
\
----- TV
/
/
HDMI -------------------/



With the ability to switch between the two.

In the past 35 mins the brief has changed* smile

We are now going to strip some things out and run 3x HDMI and 1x VGA.

So the original requirement has now 'gone away'.

Thanks for the contributions though!!!

Case closed I think.
