VGA cable
Carries an analog video signal in the format red, green, blue, H and V sync signals and one or two data lines. It is typically used for computer displays but can carry video content. It is used only for RGB video formats and not broadcast standard component signals. It does not carry audio.
VGA is an open standard. It can be used without royalty payments or license fees.
HDMI
Carries various video formats including RGB, component, composite but all in a digital format. It carries audio as well as video. It uses a compact 19 pin connector and cables are made to strict manufacturing standards. Cables are limited in length and longer cables become very expensive.
HDMI signals can be encoded using HDCP, a content protection system to prevent the signal being extracted and copied.
HDMI is a commercially licensed standard and any company that uses the connector on a product is required to pay fees of several thousand dollars each year for each product to the HDMI organization.
Unfortunately VGA to HDMI cables are kind of a scam. The problem is VGA is an analog signal and HDMI is a digital signal. A cable is not capable of converting something from analog to digital or the other way around. In order to connect between a VGA and an HDMI connection you must use an active converter that will convert from one format to another. These converters are going to be considerably more expensive than just a cable, but they'll actually get the job done. These converters run between $60-$300+ depending on the capabilities of the converter.
HDMI cables are used as digital video and data links between video sources and televisions. HDMI is compatible with DVI interfaces so if the laptop has a DVI output, a DVI to HDMI cable can be used. If the laptop does not have HDMI or DVI, then there is no way to connect the VGA output to an HDMI input. There are several USB based video displays that can be purchased to connect to the laptop. The display can be used as a copy of the internal screen or it can extend the desktop across both screens. Select a display port that has either DVI or HDMI outputs.
There are multiple converters and cables that are compatible with both HDMI and VGA, which is some sort of an adapter to an adapter. I do not know how well these products work together.
HDMI and VGA are two interface standards for video signals. While the two are different, the quality of either of them is dependent on the source of the signal rather than the interface. Both are capable of carrying high definition signals. Indeed, VGA is used for higher resolutions that HDMI currently handles. HDMI is digital while VGA is analog. Although HDMI cables have restriction on length, the image quality will not degrade over a long cable run (subject to the maximum cable lengths). VGA signals can become degraded over long distances, showing up as smeared vertical edges on the display. HDMI carries audio data as well as video, so one cable does the job of a VGA and audio cable combined. It is worth noting that DVI is the digital standard for computer displays. DVI is fully compatible with HDMI video but it does not carry audio so it is a much closer equivalent to VGA. HDMI is becoming the standard for all commercial HD video content. It is getting almost impossible to purchase equipment that outputs any form of HD video on VGA or on analog component signals.
You cannot connect a HDMI to a VGA video output on a computer. VGA is an analog signal and the DVI adapter connects it to the analog pins on the DVI cable (a DVI-I cable has both analog and digital pins). A HDMI to DVI cable connects to the cable's digital pins, therefore, no connection is being made. The easiest way to do this is to upgrade your computer's video card to one with a HDMI output. These can be purchased for less than $50.00, and will allow you to connect your computer to your TV with one cable and no adapters.
The average price of a VGA to HDMI cable may range from $4.00 to about $50.00 depending on the type selected and brand. Amazon is a good place to buy VGA to HDMI cables for cheap.
See if you have only VGA port on the ASUS Monitor then you need to plugin the VGA part of HDMI to VGA in Asus Monitor and then plug the other part that is HDMI in your Macbook pro.There might be a problem with you that both Asus monitor and the HDMI to VGA cable have same VGA Plugs,Like both of them are female VGA or both of them are Male VGA hence they cannot be connected together.For that problem you need to have one more cable of the opposite character to that of your HDMI to VGA and your monitor's VGA port to establish a connection between the Monitor and Macbook pro using the cable you already have. Like if you have female VGA on your monitor and on your existing cable then you need to buy male to male VGA and vice versa you have to buy female to female VGA for male ports on monitor and cable you already have. If you feel that there is some other problem than that then you can message me directly and i will guide you accordingly.

There are a couple ways to connect VGA to HDMI, the easiest are either using a converter or a cable. What you choose should depend on your needs. A converter is a box that allows you to connect your VGA component and your HDMI component into a box and converts the signal. The cable connects on one end to your VGA component and the other end connects to your HDMI component and can vary in length.
yes it does
When you use a VGA cable coming out of the monitor, the monitor is giving out an analog signal through the VGA connection. For the monitor to give out a digital signal, you need a DVI or HDMI cable. The VGA to HDMI cord just converts the analog signal into a digital signal so it's not completely useless, however the quality will not be as good as an HDMI to HDMI or DVI to DVI or HDMI to DVI
VGA to HDMI cable convert an analogue signal to a digital signal. It does this by connecting an audio cable to the adapter, where the video signal is fused with the audio also, so there is only one cable connecting to your HDTV.
You can go online or to any electronic store to buy a hdmi to vga cable. This is a cable that has the hdmi adapter on one end and the vga adapter on the other end. This way you can convert a hdmi device into a vga device.
no
Use an adapter which would connect to the monitor and PS4. Old monitors usually have a VGA port. Look for a HDMI to VGA cable
No, a VGA cable does not carry audio. You will need a converter that has an audio input to add the sound channel to the VGA picture channel.
