I had a similar problem recently. A simple lead like that didn't work for me.
Apparently you need a converter box of some kind. That then gets expensive.

To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't work. HDMI can
support both analog signals and digital ones. What this does, I
reckon, is convert the HDMI-a signal (analog) to VGA (also analog).
I'm pretty sure the Raspberry Pi only supports outputting HDMI-d
(digital) via the HDMI port. I could be wrong, especially since the
RPi has an analog output anyway (the yellow RCA).
Grant.
