Now I understand that you cannot convert VGA to HDMI without some sort of adapter, because one is analogue and one is digital. A friend of mine however has a cable that goes directly from VGA to HDMI, and he gave it to me. When plugged in it doesn't do anything obviously because the data types are different. So my question is, what's the point in having a cable like that anyway? Why would it be manufactured.

Jump to PostCables like that generally have an adapter built in. As to why it didn't work I cannot speculate.
