I have a VGA input on my new TV. Do you know if this will work to input a device that has an S-video output and convert it to VGA?

From the testing I have done, that will not work because these are built to go the other way. You can use your TV as a large monitor for your laptop (or desktop) because they output digital video (VGA). It looks like these were intended to take a digital output from a VGA connector (usually a laptop, desktop, or in some cases a gaming console) to another device that has an S-video input or an RCA input. However, I have tried to go from a laptop to a TV that has S-video and it did not work. These may have been popular back when game consoles were built differently. I too have not found anything this might be good for. From the testing I have done, that will not work because these are built to go the other way.

I purchased "1080p Hdmi Male input to VGA + Audio Output Cable Converter Adapter for Hdtv Pc" at Amazon's suggestion. I was unable to view laptop images on my LG HDTV. The laptop has a Nvidia card and works with analog TV. My solution was to purchase another computer (used) with an HDMI output - not very economical but it did work. KS

This converter is made to connect an HDMI output on a computer to a VGA input on a monitor (or tv). That is why it isn't working for you.

I believe so. I have not used it for this purpose, however. I simply needed to convert s-video to HDMI. The unit appeared to work, however I have changed my setup now and no longer use it.

It works great, I have an older tv in my motor home. Following the directions I just pluged in the audio, VGA and the USB into my Dell laptop and ran the 3 RCA connectors to the tv. Your VGA output froom your PC should not need anything eles.

Yes. Connect the s-video device to this, connect the HDMI output to one of your TV's HDMI inputs. Make sure this adaptor is set to s-video input (using the button on the adaptor). I would only use the receiver/amplifier for audio and connect as many devices as you can directly to the tv for best video quality.

That is the reason I purchased it. It did not work. This converts hdmi to vga. Not vga to hdmi which is what we need. With what I have learned it only works one way.

Yes, you may connect with VGA out or s-video out if your monitor has s-video connectivity

It should... Any device that outputs VGA can drive this converter. Any device that accepts HDMI will accept the output from this converter. There are no controls on this device.

As a cable connection it will certainly work electrically, same as if you were connecting HDMI to HDMI, which I did to extend the reach of my cables. This connector has female ports on both sides. Main issue is that you are converting a digital signal to analog, and the resulting VGA picture will not be as good as HDMI to a new Hi-Def TV.

Not with this thing, my understanding of it is that its for hooking up laptops to projectors and TVs. I had the same problem, and I think this is what you're looking for: "TV RCA AV S-video In to PC VGA LCD CRT Out Converter Adapter Switch Box".

if you are trying to convert from VGA to rca (red, white, yellow connectors) or s-video it might work. I had problems with my cord and had to get a refund

I used my C&E; HDMI/S-video converter to provide the input connection for two DVD recorders and old VCR through an amplifier and it works very good. I would expect it to provide a very good S-video signal to your television.

I have both HDMI and VGA connections on my HDTV, but the VGA didn't work until I bought a VGA/HDMI converter box. They're not expensive (mine was $10) I have an older Dell tower that's been refurbished but didn't have the HDMI connection, so the converter box was an inexpensive way to go.

It should work with a VGA to HDMI, but it will not work HDMI to VGA. I only tested the latter. I hope that helps.
