Hello, I have an old dell desktop computer tower that only has VGA port for video and im trying to display it to my HDMI Tv. I seen a bunch of different cords an adapters that'll achieve this but, I don't know which adapter I need. These are a few that are worded a few different ways. What I seen were, VGA(Input)to HDMI(Output) & HDMI(Input) to VGA(Output). I have a couple adapters already but, they don't work. I guess what I'm asking is if someone could reply with a link to the one I need to purchase id appreciate it. I'll attach pictures of the adapters I have an what I'm trying to accomplish.
Vga to HDMI display

Most likely the adapters you have are not bidirectional which means its going from HDMI pc to VGA monitor which you don't want. Not sure of the model of adapters you have but if you have web links to that item we can verify them if they would work. And depending on your system, you may need an active adapter like this. So you need vga output to hdmi input.
Okay thanks, appreciate it.
I concur, you would need something like this: https://www.startech.com/en-ca/audio-video-products/vga2hdu
Or worse case, VGA to RCA (Red/White/Yellow) but I don't know what kind of resolution/video you will get.
