<s>[INST] I bought a new monitor which only accepts HDMI, but my computer only has VGA ports. Can I still connect them, or do I need to buy a new computer? [/INST] You can connect them with an VGA to HDMI converter.  A simple VGA to HDMI cable adapter will not work, it must be able to translate the VGA analog signal into digital HDMI. The VGA to HDMI conversion will add latency.</s>
