Connecting Laptop to TV, no HDMI on laptop?

So I have a Lenovo ThinkPad w530 Laptop which has a VGA port but no HDMI port. I also have a Samsung Smart TV which has an HDMI port.

I want to connect my Laptop with the TV through HDMI without deminishing the quality, what are my options? How can I make this work?

I heard something about VGA to HDMI converters (doesn't that lower the quality?)

VGA to HDMI will lower the quality but if your laptop dosent have HDMI then you can use it have a look on you laptop for display port or mini display port i think that the w530 has a mini display port and that will definatley display at 1080p or even 2560x1920
