    Dont get a straight VGA to HDMI cable because it wouldnt work. You would need convertor which is a bit larger than you would expect and often need to be powered.

      Right, you need an active HDMI-VGA converter.

      You could go for this: https://thepihut.com/products/raspberry-pi-hdmi-to-vga-convertor
      However the “chain” looks a bit ugly (second image) and I could imagine it is a bit unsteady.

      Or you go for this: https://www.pi-supply.com/product/gert-vga-666-hardware-vga-raspberry-pi/
      However this blocks almost all GPIO ports and you need to solder it on your own, as it is a kit

            @bibi display port to hdmi works definitely. it’s both digital, so the adapter should be pretty simple and cheap (I use one for ~12€ from miniDP to HDMI on my laptop)
