Atlona is a major purveyor off just about any converter or adapter the average geek could need for a myriad of uses. The company is especially keen on helping geeks get their video and audio they crave from their laptops onto the HDTV in the living room

Atlona has unveiled a new VGA to HDMI scaler/converter called the AT-HDVieW. The adapter can take the audio and video from a notebook that has VGA only and turn it into an HDMI signal that can be sent to your HDTV.

The device gets all its power from the USB port and supports resolutions up to 1920 x 1200. The computer side has the VGA and audio cables built-in and Atlona ships the device with a 6-foot HDMI cable. The converter will sell for $119 starting on February 22.
