Yes. The device is intended to convert an HDMI connection to a VGA monitor.

You can connect this device to your PC HDMI output convert it to VGA output if thats what you want to do.However please check if your graphic card output do support outputting VGA and HDMI signal at the same time.

I don't know. I have not tried it. You are better of buying a mini display port to vga adapter.

No, it can convert only vga to hdmi, so you need another converter that can convert hdmi to vga to connect laptop to the projector.

Unfortunately. This device is just from hdmi to vga. Source(laptop,game console vs.) must be hdmi. You can find that kind of device you look for. And also don't forget , if you want to convert vga port to hdmi, you have to use extra power adaptor. Because hdmi needs 5V power but Vga doesn't need any power consumption. If your source is vga , you have to have extra power.

this cable doesn't covert from VGA to HDTV digital signal. i bought the converter box, this cable is used to connect ur laptop to converter box input and then you need the HDMI cable to connect from output to HDTV.

This box converts a VGA signal, such as the video monitor output of a computer, to an HDMI output. As far as I know, it is not meant to go in the reverse direction; you would need to ask the Etekcity folks about that. I am presuming you have a projector with a VGA input but not an HDMI input. It would not surprise me if there are HDMI to VGA converters available, but I have not needed one, so I have not looked for any.

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 am not quite sure of the question but I will try to help.... The VGA port is the standard port that a monitor would use to connect to. You would not use this to connect a VGA output from a laptop to HDMI. This is the revers of that. This takes HDMI input to VGA output.

Yes, just check for your laptop video output, all you need is the hdmi cable or vga.

No. The VGA port on a laptop puts out a video signal that this device converts to an HDMI signal for your TV. The VGA port does not accept a video signal from any other device.

it is FROM HDMI -> TO VGA - not from VGA to HDMI (different cable)You can connect HDMI port on your laptop to VGA monitor but not the other way . Hope this helps

should be no problem. Keep in mind that HDMI does have sound but that VGA does not. The adapter will work fine as long as you are doing regular PC functions -- the sound for a movie, for example, will have to run from the laptop itself. But you can look at email and other PC stuff just fine.

You can use that, but I have never had much luck with the USB to VGA adapters. you may want to try to use something like this:StarTech DVI to VGA Cable Adapter, M/F (DVIVGAMF)

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.

I don't know, I threw my cable away because it shorted out my last lap top, which may have been my fault. I used the HDMI hook-up on my then lap top and used the VGA hook up to my TV and it killed my lap top, which would have been more to fix it then buying a new one. I do know, that HDMI is an output always.
