Thanks: Gave 124, Got 982 | Cable need for a Infocus IN72
My Father has the IN72 and I told him a VGA to DVI adapter is needed to put his laptop on it. I was wrong, it needs a VGA (female) to M1-DA adapter. I am having trouble finding one (under £10 preferably).
Anyone, know where to get them?

But don't know how much delivery charge is on that...
edit: what laptop does he have? The DVI may be DVI-D (digital) only in which case the adaptor won't work.

Or, is there such thing as a VGA (male) to HDMI cable?

The biggest differences are different sockets on the back and the IN72 has a much larger lens throw and zoom. That's about it. The IN72 looks nicer but it is really big and £100 more expensive. I don't think it is worth paying the extra unless the lens throw is needed.

You won't be able to use a VGA out of the PC because the HDMI (thin/wide connector) and the DVI are both digital only. So you need a DVI to DVI cable or a DVI to HDMI cable. If your laptop only has VGA and no DVI, I doubt you'll be able to connect it up.
