My new monitor only supports HDMI. I want to connect my HPE server which only supports VGA to the monitor. I have a VGA to VGA cable. I also order a cheap VGA to HDMI cable on eBay which didn't work. What do I need to connect the two and how cheaply can I do it for? I would be happy to buy something used.
That is hdmi to vga, not the other way round. vga to hdmi: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00K808RVQ However if there is any way at all to fit a GPU in the server, I'd just buy something like a used Geforce 730 or similar (they can be found on the bay of flea tor basically the same price as the adapter I linked to).
You need an active adapter, probably something like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/VENTION-Converter-Adapter-Digital-Projector-black/dp/B07F7WYGHV/ or https://www.amazon.co.uk/Converter-Analogue-Transmiss-Training-Projector-Black/dp/B00PAGKZP4/ .
