Can you post a pic of the cable, or its full specs?

Vga is analog, hdmi is digital. You'd need an active converter to go from vga to hdmi. A passive vga to hdmi cable will not work.

That's why I asked for a pic, this could be considered to be a cable even though it's an active adapter: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815158333
