Hdmi is a high definition multimedia interface used to transmit hd content and audio both at the same time through the same wire.
Are you sure its vga post and not a serial port? If your pc has hdmi port then your can get an hdmi cable to connect your pc to it. If you don't have hdmi port on your pc then you should at least have a dvi port on your pc. You will still need a dvi to hdmi adaptor+hdmi cable to connect the pc to tv.

Bro, i dont what is serial port. But TV has 2 ports, one is HDMI and other looks like we have in monitor/cpu written (SERVICES only). Now tell me what is the use of this blue color port in TV? check photo.

You can connect your PC to TV using HDMI out from your PC to HDMI in of your TV. For this you need to have HDMI port in your nvidia GPU. If you can give the exact Model Number of your nvidia GPU, it will be easy to guide further.

The port that is numbered '5' in the picture is possibly a service port, where a service personnel can connect a monitor to troubleshoot the TV. U need to have an HDMI port on ur motherboard or the nVidia card you have mentioned, to connect it to your TV.

The 8400GS -- G98 VGA chipset should support 2560x1600 dual link DVI. You will need two things.

1. DVI to HDMI Converter. It is exactly what you have posted in #17. Take a picture of that if need be, or you could easily find one on Ebay India.
2. HDMI cable. This will be native HDMI to HDMI. Since via the converter (1) your GPU will push out HDMI and the same can be plugged into the HDMI port of your TV panel. Post that you would need to make some changed on the Forceware panel to make it realize the panel dual link TV.

Alternatively you can get this, which is a DVI to HDMI converter.

Let us know if you are still confused.
