Are there actually any HDTVs out there that take 1920 x 1200 over VGA?]]>Feb 19th 2010 7:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/atlonas-vga-to-hdmi-adapter-ditches-the-brick-does-1080p-on-us/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/atlonas-vga-to-hdmi-adapter-ditches-the-brick-does-1080p-on-us/The real question is:

Yep. Lots of them. Many now only come with HDMI.

This would also be nice for connecting a VGA based KVM to newer PC monitors seeing as many of them now are only coming HDMI.]]>Feb 19th 2010 10:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/atlonas-vga-to-hdmi-adapter-ditches-the-brick-does-1080p-on-us/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/atlonas-vga-to-hdmi-adapter-ditches-the-brick-does-1080p-on-us/
Not that I know of. Consider two things though. With this device the TV doesn't need a VGA port. And, many monitors are now coming only with HDMI, so this will allow VGA only devices to connect to them (i.e. KVM switches).]]>Feb 19th 2010 10:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/atlonas-vga-to-hdmi-adapter-ditches-the-brick-does-1080p-on-us/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/atlonas-vga-to-hdmi-adapter-ditches-the-brick-does-1080p-on-us/Feb 19th 2010 11:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/atlonas-vga-to-hdmi-adapter-ditches-the-brick-does-1080p-on-us/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/atlonas-vga-to-hdmi-adapter-ditches-the-brick-does-1080p-on-us/Feb 19th 2010 6:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/atlonas-vga-to-hdmi-adapter-ditches-the-brick-does-1080p-on-us/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/atlonas-vga-to-hdmi-adapter-ditches-the-brick-does-1080p-on-us/Good luck putting that in a laptop]]>Feb 19th 2010 6:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/atlonas-vga-to-hdmi-adapter-ditches-the-brick-does-1080p-on-us/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/atlonas-vga-to-hdmi-adapter-ditches-the-brick-does-1080p-on-us/Feb 19th 2010 6:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/atlonas-vga-to-hdmi-adapter-ditches-the-brick-does-1080p-on-us/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/atlonas-vga-to-hdmi-adapter-ditches-the-brick-does-1080p-on-us/Feb 19th 2010 6:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/atlonas-vga-to-hdmi-adapter-ditches-the-brick-does-1080p-on-us/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/atlonas-vga-to-hdmi-adapter-ditches-the-brick-does-1080p-on-us/
There are good reasons to use this over HDMI on a desktop too. My HTPC has HDMI out but I use the DVI out and a converter because it removes the HDMI encryption that caused my TV is go nuts after resume from standby.]]>Feb 19th 2010 7:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/atlonas-vga-to-hdmi-adapter-ditches-the-brick-does-1080p-on-us/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/atlonas-vga-to-hdmi-adapter-ditches-the-brick-does-1080p-on-us/I have a Thinkpad, primarily for work, but occasionally like to hook it up to my tv to watch Netflix, Hulu, etc...

It's for timing.

Probably adds an artificial delay to the audio to make up for the delay inherent in converting the analog VGA to digital HDMI.]]>Feb 19th 2010 7:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/atlonas-vga-to-hdmi-adapter-ditches-the-brick-does-1080p-on-us/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/atlonas-vga-to-hdmi-adapter-ditches-the-brick-does-1080p-on-us/Feb 19th 2010 7:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/atlonas-vga-to-hdmi-adapter-ditches-the-brick-does-1080p-on-us/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/atlonas-vga-to-hdmi-adapter-ditches-the-brick-does-1080p-on-us/

I am seriously considering this because my tv supports 1080i/720p but my AV receiver supports 1080p. I can't get my HTPC to stay at the correct resolution unless it has both a VGA connection and the HDMI connection to fool it. Soon as I unplug the VGA, it autodetects the 1080p support and I lose the picture.]]>Feb 19th 2010 9:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/atlonas-vga-to-hdmi-adapter-ditches-the-brick-does-1080p-on-us/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/atlonas-vga-to-hdmi-adapter-ditches-the-brick-does-1080p-on-us/Feb 19th 2010 6:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/atlonas-vga-to-hdmi-adapter-ditches-the-brick-does-1080p-on-us/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/19/atlonas-vga-to-hdmi-adapter-ditches-the-brick-does-1080p-on-us/I was looking for one of these for my netbook for a long time now.

It doesn't matter what kind or how many connectors something has, somebody is going to want to interface it one step....BEYOND!

Thanks for the info. I do have a vga cable already and I''m running it on my monitor at 1080p anyways so for this price it's probably not worth the difference in quality.
