My boys had me buy this one for their electronics. They have TV, DVD player, xbox and playstation 3 and needed this piece to connect all of them. We don't have a digital converter so I don't know if this one specifically works for what you have. I am sorry I can't answer this question better for you.

Yes, you can hook up a Digital converter box using HDMI or component cables. For me, it is the only way to get HDTV. There is NOT a QAM tuner in this model, so you will only get analog channels when you do the scan for channels. The term "digital" for this TV is misleading in my opinion.

No. This will go to the monitor VGA input alright but hooks up to the computers USB port. You need to be running Windows.

I think when we used this machine it only used a standard monitor type cable input. So unless you got a converter of some kind I doubt it.

Thanks so much for your response. I'll go ahead and bust it out of the package and try it out. Trying to connect an extra monitor!! Lee

RCA and VGA are not compatible. This cable will not do what you want. You will need a converter box (Sabrent makes one for example)

If have HDMI coming out of your computer, I don't think this is what you want. This box takes Component Video (YPbPr) and Digital Audio (SPDIF) and converts it to an HDMI signal.

the box uses a VGA Output, not sure if you can you a laptop, as its an output not an input, you might need a monitor for a VGA input

I just got my converter today and it is not working! I have an ASUS laptop with HDMI out and I am trying to connect it to my older VGA monitor.

I have done that, but my monitor is an old Sanyo flat screen television, that my wife bought for $5, at a rummage sale. But, most of the recent monitors can be used as a television, or visa versa, if they are both digital. If Your monitor is digital, I believe it will hook up. The main thing is 'digital' to digital, and the equal connections. I am not a pro at this stuff, but will share my experience's if I can. Mason!!

It never worked for me, so idk. I'd imagine that the computer would still see a DP, and the monitor an HDMI. All the converter is doing is moving pins around.

@Elliot, yes. I use it for my third monitor with a Radeon HD 6970 and it works flawlessly. This IS the active converter you're looking for.

No. Both must be digital connections. DVI and HDMI. You can use converter on either port

It depends on what you are trying to do. You CAN'T go from a VGA output from your computer to a digital input on the monitor. I ended up not using this adapter and buying a new, plain vanilla video card with two HDMI outputs, and connecting my monitors with HDMI cables. ( P.S., this was a snap; there was futzing around involved at all).

This will work for converting DVI to VGA. The only way it won't work is if the signal is DVI-D which in that case you'll need an active converter. You can tell by looking at the flat part on the DVI connector and see if it has 2 pins above and below it, and if it does it is not DVI-D so it should work.
