I have a laptop and Epson Powerlite EMP-835 LCD Video Projector, but my computer does not have a vga output, it has HDMI. DOES IT WORK?

It has worked perfectly fine for me. I've been using it for almost a month every day. It requires a USB connection for power source and an HDMI and VGA cable (A 3.5 mm audio jack if needed). Is plug-and-play meaning that no installation is necessary.

Ive got the same problem..the answer is...you need a VGA to HDMI. NOT a HDMI to VGA...The thing is it wont work going the other way. Plugable support helped me...when going from old VGA computer to new HDMI. it slows everything down so the best thing you need to do is buy a newer computer with HDMI. you can go to plugable .com /support ..they are very helpful...

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.

Yes... It has a special adapter from the projector but ends in standard VGA cable... Hope it helps!

It should if DELL says the laptop outputs VGA signals via the HDMI port and your monitor accepts digital and not analogue signals (depends on how old it is). You might need to get a HDMI-VGA convertor otherwise; another option would be to get a newer monitor with HDMI. it's only $5 so worth a try, let us know how it goes. Good luck!

Hi S. Anderson,Is the signal your monitor accepts digital or analog? The HDMI adapter I purchased works great with my Dell 15, but the projector I use at work is analog based and not digital, so my new HDMI - VGA adapter does not work. Hope this helps! Mark V.

If your laptop has a VGA out or S-Video connection all you need is the appropriate cable.v if you have HDMI, you will need an active HDMI to VGA adapter. Keep in mind that this will not pass sound, and you need an extra USB port to power the active adapter. DO NOT buy the HDMI to USB cable, it will not work.Otherwise, it is an excellent projector for the money. I picked up a refurbished unit for $169, and it works wonderfully. Steam streaming to a 100" screen is awesome looking on it. This is playing with all the graphics at max.

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.

The laptop most likely has VGA, but not the male end of VGA. This is from vga to hd not from hd to vga. SO you have an hd tv. What you need is the male end of HD And the male end of VGA. woCharger(TM) 5 Feet 1.5M Gold HDMI to VGA converter adapter cable for HDTV,Computer Monitor VGA This is probably what you want.

Yes it comes with VGA, if you want HDMI you have to buy it. Optoma 320 can work with PC or any apple computer. It is a great tool for any presentation with power or battery. I am happy with the equipment and is easy to use it.

Not sure, you may need a USB (to your camera) to VGA adaptor (to the projector) converter

Mine came with a cable having VGA (yellow, red & white) RCA plugs on both ends, for connecting a DVD, BD, DVR, etc. to this projector. If your laptop also has these type jacks (which is very unlikely), you could use the included cable otherwise you need to come up with an adaptor or buy a different type of cable like VGA/RCA to USB, USB to USB, serial cable or HDMI. My laptop has an HDMI port and this projector accepts HDMI so I opted to go with an HDMI cable. It's simple to hook up and you can get a six foot HDMI cable on Amazon.com for less than $6 with free shipping.

I have used both the 30-pin to HDMI and Lighting to HDMI adapters to this projector from iPhones and was able to display videos and PowerPoint slideshows. I've not yet tried the 30-pin to VGA on this projector however it worked to a Dell projector.
