VGA and HDMI are different signals, so a cable will not work without a transcoder. You'll either need to use VGA to VGA or HDMI to HDMI, DVI to HDMI (same video signal), etc, unless you get a transcoder.

reading your manual it must be connected via the d-sub( VGA)
Using the D-Sub Cable
1. Connect a D-Sub Cable between
PC IN [PC] connector on the TV
and the PC output connector on
your computer.
2. Connect a PC Audio Cable
between the PC IN [AUDIO] jack
on the TV and the Audio Out jack of
the sound card on your computer.

or using HDMI 1 on your TV. Using HDMI 1 you must use:
Using the HDMI/DVI Cable
1. Connect a HDMI/DVI cable
between the HDMI IN 1 jack on the
TV and the PC output jack on your
computer.
2. Connect a 3.5 mm Stereo mini-plug/2RCA Cable between
the DVI IN(HDMI1) [R-AUDIO-L]
jack on the TV and the Audio Out
jack of the sound card on your
computer.
