VGA connect to HDTV?

Hey guys I have a laptop with a 15 pin VGA display port and am a little confused on how to hook it up to my HDTV. What cable/cables would I need?

Thanks.

Ah, right. The T.V. has dvi and HDMI ports so I am thinking I need some sort of conversion cable.

All the reviews on these cables I have read are saying that VGA to HDMI cables do not work because you can't send the analog VGA signal to HDMI since HDMI is digital.So I do not think it is as easy as you guys are saying. A converter box is something that I have read about with some people saying it works and others not so much.

Here, much cheaper then getting a converter box.

So there is no way to hook an Inspiron 15 up to a HDTV? Wtf? This is Dell's basic laptop but seriously, is this for real?
