with an RCA to VGA cord, will this work with a computer? How about a mac? I seem to be seeing mixed answers about this, so I'd like to get clear. thnx

Sorry, unless the computer in question actually "supports" sending RCA signals through a VGA (which is rather specific to the computer's video card and would likely already have its own VGA-&gt;RCA cable) the answer would be no. For example, the ATI All-in-Wonder cards DO support this feature, but again, you'd already have this cable if you had such a card. Hope this helps!

I have not tried that and I am not a mac person, but In theory you should be able to plug any HDMI source into it. Whether it be a macbook or dvd player should make no difference. Sorry I'm not more help..

This is really a mini-VGA. This item IS NOT a mini display port. I am using this mini-vga to connect my 10-year-old Macbook to my television and it works great. This is the only place I've been able to find the mini-VGA adapter.

Sorry, that is an AV setup question that is dependent on your computer and TV capability. Last I checked, USB is not the best AV connection choice when it works. Resolution and bus limitations alone are inferior to pure video output. The cable is excellent for computer to computer data transfer for migration from older Mac to newer Mac.

Mine came with a VGA cable. If your MAC has VGA connector, it will hook up to it directly.

It works great. It comes with a USB interface, but I already had an Apple adapter to interface the VGA cable with the video input on the MacBook.

I'm not sure if it would work for a Mac. I believe you would need a monitor adaptor from the Mac to this splitter at least. It's been working great on a PC, I just don't want to say it will work or not for a Mac. Sorry, hope it works out

It should, my mac is a little bit older but I still needed a port that would allow it to connected with a computer. We just needed a standard port to let it connect to our TV as if it was any other computer. You need to check to make sure that your flat screen has a computer connection option. If it does, you will still need another cord (VGA cable in my case) my mac is older and my tv is newer so your experience could be different.

It only comes with a VGA cord. the vga to hdmi adapter should work fine. The quality won't be as good of course, but it will work. You could just hook into the VGA plug on the back of the monitor as well. I am using a StarTech HDMI(male) to DVI(female) converter, since the PC comes with DVI and that works very well.

I have the same computer that you have. I hooked the cable up to three different TVs and it still doesn't work. I haven't tried the VGA port (blue port) on it yet; but the RCA ports (the red, white, and yellow) do not work.

Sorry, not a mac person. But, its a generic HDMI switch, any spec HDMI cord should switch and pass through. And this is why I am a PC person, no need to buy dedicated cords. Why make life so hard?

Dirk. I know nothing about the MAC...I'm a PC user and I can't find the paperwork that came with the monitor so I can look up the spec info you need, so I really don't have a clue if it is compatible with a MAC or not. Why wouldn't it be? Maybe if you check online with Samsung with this model number, that might give you your answer. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Cord could be bad- doubtful. Make sure the HDMI port on the TV is selected. you will also need to select audio output from Mac to TV speakers.

I've looked on the Apple site, and it appears to me that Apple only offers a small version of the cable. In my experience its generally used as an adapter. There is long mini to DVI adapter, but not a mini to VGA on the Apple site, but not with the best reviews. Good luck!

Yes, this product works well with mac when it is connected via VGA adapter.

I tried rca to vga and it did not work. I didnt bother to send it back. Figured it was worthless!

Yes it will. I recently bought a mac mini and ran into the same problem of how to hook up to a vga monitor. This works perfectly and you should have no problem with it!
