I'm looking for something to enable me to plug my VGA monitor into the HDMI port on my computer, making this a secondary monitor. Will this do it?

It will technically work. I bought this and it work, but it makes both the primary and secondary screens jumpy. Cures doesn't move as fast and leaves a trail. I also had a DVI output on my monitor so a I tired a converter for that as well, and had the same issue (I think I little clearer with the DVI. I'm trying to put up with it instead of having to buy a new HDMI monitor, but I might have to eventually!

That is the purpose of this cable, so as long as your HDMI is female and your VGA is male, there shouldn't be a problem. I shouldn't have bought this connector because I do not have an HDMI port (at the time, my Dell Inspiron Mini docking station was on its way, and I mistakenly thought it had an HDMI port). You probably already know you can't plug an HDMI adapter into a USB port!

I have two VGA ㅡhdmi ports. I have to check which one is male part or women part. I guess hdml is women part. I am out of town now. Whenever I come back home, I will contact you .

Yes, I tested it with a 2007 Dell Monitor on Win7 and it did. It also works with video beams.

Not without modifications. This unit has the old VGA plug from the monitor and into the computer. You would either need a VGA to HDMI adapter, or a different interface unit. I'm sure I saw them for HDMI. I had to really look to find this unit with the old style plug.

Hi Patricia - Yes it should work. I had the same issue with a laptop docking station. I use this to add a second VGA monitor and it works great!

It didn't work to connect my hdmi pc to my vga monitor. I had to buy HDMI Input to VGA Adapter Converter For PC Laptop NoteBook HD DVD. Also, it wouldn't work from my old vga pc to a hdmi tv.

Yes this will allow you to add an additional monitor to your system. I use. 2 of these on my laptop plus the onboard VGA adapter to run 4 monitors

This is a serial port adapter, Not a VGA adapter.You are looking for a USB to VGA adapter.

I plugged it into my Dell Laptop using the supplied cable (this means yes to VGA) - no problem at all, great, bright display. That's what I wanted, I never counted the other ports, suggest you read the specs.

I doubt it. I returned this item since it did not work for me. I was trying to push HDMI from a laptop to different displays (tried a Monitor, my TV, and a projector) and it failed to recognize the VGA ports. I believe this was mislabeled and is a VGA to HDMI cable, not the other way around.

Yes will go into standard VGA - no USB or HDMI output which is a downside for some.

Well, what you are asking is whether it is VGA to DisplayPort. Answer is: No. It is DisplayPort to VGA adapter.

I doubt it. While HDMI supports audio, VGA does not. I use this to go to an external monitor. But, I need to use a USB connection to go to my external speakers.

VGA is analog. HDMI is digital. So, no. You would need a converter between.

No, you need something that will connect to a video out on the laptop (VGA, dvi, HDMI) and convert that to display port.

I have it setup so that either of my laptops can use one central monitor. First you need to figure out what you want your central monitor to be, plug that central source into the VGA out, then the two devices you want to use this display would be plugged into the two in ports.

it might not be compatible this way it may be only backwards compatible HDMI from the laptop to VGA the TV. I only have experience trying to dumb down component for TV. I don't know if it speeds up VGA to HDMI. Sorry I can't help.

Not sure what the port next to the VGA is, the manual calls it "High performance Display Adaptor". I don't own any HDMI devices, so can't say for sure, but it does have the same shape & size. But can't plug it in to anything to test it.

I switch between the DisplayPort and VGA connections all the time and it is reasonably easy to do. It works best if one of them is fully disconnected, since that forces the monitor to search for a signal on its own. However, even with both connected, pressing "1", then "Down", then "2", then "Down" until I get the input I want isn't tough to do, either.
