Anyone wire a laptop to their HDTV?
Is there any simply vga to hdmi cord?
I tried this sometime ago with an older laptop- vga to rca- but the pc only put out a low res to tv.
Asus Eee to 32" hdtv is what I'm working with.

I connected my eee netbook to the TV with VGA and it looks great (1920x1080). I have a desktop system with DVI output and have connected it directly to the TV's HDMI and also to the TV's VGA with an adapter. The DVI/HDMI was real contrasty and would have taken a lot of manual adjustment to clean it up, where the VGA looked great as-is. Must have been a level issue with the PC DVI output as the HDMI looks just fine for the blu-ray player. Either way the lesson learned here is make sure your TV has a native VGA input.

I know this is going to sound stupid, but after I posted the question I looked at the back of the TV and yes it does have a VGA input.
And the netbook has a VGA output.
Solved itself.

All you need now is an audio cable, bluetooth keyboard, and bluetooth mouse.

I've already obtained the patch cable. I'll grab a vga to vga.
Then a wireless keyboard/mouse & I'm pimpin'.
