    It's not that simple. If the info here is correct then the GPU is in the CPU package and has limited capabilities. To quote from that link:

    Why not just get a HDMI to VGA Adapter, because if you could even do what you ask (which I doubt you can) it would cost a lot more than a Adapter.

    You could try the USB to HDMI route with something like this.

    That's HDMI to VGA. We are looking for VGA to HDMI (to connect to a TV). Alternatively, some TVs have VGA ports.

    Couldn't you just use it with a normal VGA lead, I have a VGA lead on a desktop with both ends having a male plug? Cause I'm guess it would have to be a little longer.

    My interpretation of the OP's requirements is that he wants to get output from his NF110 onto a TV with an HDMI input. I don't know of any VGA to HDMI adapters so USB to HDMI looks to be the best route. However, I can't vouch for the quality.
