I recently bought one of these on eBay:

It is for my Emerson LC320EM2A, which supports VGA but when I connect, it says the video format is not supported. HELP!!!!!!

The Akura is going to suffer the same issue (possibly even worse) as it outputs straight 640x480 over HDMI with no upscaling. It would be best to grab a VGA-to-HDMI upscaler for use with the VGA cable. This will get around the issue with incompatible TVs.

That one actually doesn't upscale the image despite what it says. You want one like this. Usually you can tell of it's an upscaler by looking for a switch that changes between 720p and 1080p.
