    connect to an external monitor with VGA? If the answer is yes, then this is the converter (it is more than a cable, it has a chip that converts digital to analogue signal.

    Yes you can get micro-HDMI to DVI cables and all sorts of other combos. Just Google it. No idea if Best Buy sells them tho.

    hdmi to dvi requires just a simple adapter, because it is digital to digital signal conversion. It costs around 5 dollars on ebay.
