HDMI to VGA Converter IN1930 Monitor
Question:
Can I use a HDMI to VGA converter to hook up a IN1930 monitor(Monitor VGA Only) to a Inspiron 620 (Has both HDMI & VGA) ? Will this work & will it be better than a straight VGA cable?
Thanks,

If your looking to convert hdmi into vga then you must make sure you don't buy a simple 'hdmi to vga' cable like this one:
These simple vga to hdmi cables don't work, all they do is pass a digital signal through which is useless because VGA inputs need analogue and not digital. To convert VGA into HDMI successfully then you will need to buy a vga to hdmi converter which can be found here: http://scarttohdmi.co.uk/vga-to-hdmi-converter-box/
They can also be found in Walmart or a digital shop.
Once you get one of these converters its a simple case of plug and play. You will need a hdmi cable and a vga cable to connect everything together. This is what i did and it has saved me alot of time and money.
If your looking for what a vga to hdmi converter looks like its something similar to this:
Here is a quick review and set up of one of these converters:

At $99 or more for a scan converter you can buy a 19 to 22 inch LCD that has VGA.:emotion-3:
IF Its a used monitor it could also have HDMI and DVI.
