I have a Lenova G550 laptop which does not have a HDMI connection, only a VGA port and USB ports and a television with an HDMI port.
I have a HDMI to HDMI cable, does anyone know if there is a converter that I can connect the cable to then connect this to the USB port of my Lenova G550 laptop, if there is can someone what I need I would be very grateful.
Thanks in advance.

If your telly only has an HDMI port, then the only way to connect your laptop is through an external (USB) video/audio adaptor like this:

I'm not recommending the above - but it's the kind of thing you need.
I've not seen a TV with a HDMI port that hasn't got a VGA port yet. I'm prepared to be proven wrong, but are you sure you've not got a VGA port on the TV.
these will work.I have them myself.Very cheap way to do what you want.
Vga plugs in laptop, hdmi end plugs in tv.You plug a cable from your headphone socket to audio in on the back of your tv. To do this you will need these 2 cables.Very cheap and easy to do.

Taken from the ebay listing for the HDMI cable...

*********PLEASE NOTE: IF YOU ARE BUYING THIS CABLE TO CONNECT FROM YOUR COMPUTER TO HDMI TV, YOU WILL NEED AN ANALOGUE TO DIGITAL CONVERTER (NOT INCLUDED)********************
would help if we knew the make and model of tv? I know some pioneer plasmas don't come with vga ports.
Chuck probably right though, vga ports are usually standard on tv's nowadays.
In that case you just need a standard vga monitor cable. Few quid.
