XPS 8930, need to connect VGA monitor
I replaced my HP 6120 with this bran spankin new XPS 8930 with apparently a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660T i 6GB GDDR6 video card. Set it all up and found I couldn't connect my Sony 200sf (CRT - remember those?) with VGA connector. I'm desperate to set this up.
How can I do it?

Possibly an adapter such as one of these which is HDMI to VGA. Or a Display Port to VGA adapter such as one of these.

Pascal and newer cards no longer have VGA so you need Display port to VGA or HDMI to VGA.

Hey Thanks!
I ended up going to Best Buy and getting a $30 Insignia HDMI to VGA adapter before I saw your reply. Now I'm wondering, would this be significantly better than a $12 one?
The guy at Best Buy gave me a replacement VGA cable; I'm not sure why. I don't think I need it.
