I'd like to use a tv as a monitor, but I'm afraid my relic of a laptop isn't making this easy. It has a VGA (I think) port and some other white port but no HDMI. The TV has HDMI and whatever else TVs made in '07 have. After some research I discovered a VGA to HDMI converter but it also carries audio. Given that I have a NAD receiver and accompanying system, I'd rather have that decode the audio than the TV. I'm basically just looking for suggestions on simple ways to do this without breaking the bank. Thanks.
