A HD15n female is better known as VGA connection. You can connect your laptop to a TV but it is going to cost you an expensive converter box that costs $175 http://www.startech.com/item/VGAHD2HDMI-VGA-HD-with-Audio-to-HDMI-Format-Converter.aspx
Here is a long discussion about VGA to HDMI http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/310199
Is the VGA connection the only connection you have on the computer? If you have S Video connection a converter would be much cheaper. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-Video
