1080P HDMI Male to VGA Male Video Converter Adapter Cable for CPU to Monitor

Figure 1 shows VGA to HDMI connections. The blue end (VGA) plugs into the FPGA board and the black end (HDMI) plugs into the monitor. Please check you check your monitor to see if it takes HDMI.  And if this is what you actually want?

There's also VGA to DVI cables as shown in Figure 2.

The assumption is that you have a spare monitor at home and can plug the FPGA into the monitor. I haven't ever tried plugging the FPGA into my laptop (I use a Macbook Pro).

If you live nearby, I have spare monitors and can drop them off. Sam and Evan - I could meet you half way if you need a monitor. 

Let me know which cable you want and whether you need a monitor.
