I used a display port to HDMI cable to hook-up to Sony smart TV. However, I am getting very laggy videos from laptop to TV. Is there a fix to this?

The problem might be in your display setting. Right click on your desktop and find display setting. Most TVs need some adjustment to simulate as a big size monitor.

Yes. Plug the HDMI connector of the cable in your TV and dvi to your other display device. I watched a movie online on laptop connected to my smart tv and there was no flicker.

There shouldn't be any trouble connecting to the display through HDMI. Make sure all the settings on your computer are correct and the display mode is set to HDMI. If all else fails, you may have a faulty unit.

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.

Using the Displayport input, I could not get anything to work. I used an HDMI cable and it worked fine. Do you see the blue power light when you switch it on? If not, maybe defective.

Not sure what the problem may be as I get a very decent quality picture on my TV when connected to my kindle with this cable. I use the HDMI3 port on my TV (I think I have 3 or 4 HDMI ports....) - not sure if that might make a difference....sorry could not be of more help.....

If you are connecting your laptop to your Comcast cable box you will not get your laptop to display on your TV. That HDMI port on your cable box is to display in HD on a TV. I am not even sure if you would be able to use it to watch TV on your laptop from the cable box. If you want to connect your laptop to your TV, and it is not a flat screen you are going to need to use something like this. Videosecu PC to TV Converter VGA to RCA S-Video Mac Computer Laptop to Composite Video Switcher VGA2TV 1L7 (search for VGA to Component Converter) The resolution will be very much limited as it is not designed for HD by any scretch of the imagination. You can also try searching for HDMI to Component. I have never tried to do this but again the quality and resolution is going to be very limited. If you want to go HDMI from the laptop to the TV you are going to have to buy a new TV. Good luck!

If your computer has an HDMI port to connect to the TV. I found the VGA connection to be rather poor. But when i connected through the HDMI it was flawless.

Please excuse my ignorance, but could someone tell me what HDMI out actually allows you to do? I'm guessing hook up your netbook to an external monitor/tv for alternate display? I'm I correct? Thanks!

I had the same question. Glad to hear that there is no video lag. On the same note, I have a similar question: I would like to connect my Nintendo Wii through this receiver as well. Will this model take analog component and pipe it out over HDMI? The setup I currently have does not have component-in, so I will be using this as a hub for the time being. I realize there may be some input-lag due to conversion, I just want to confirm that this device would accept analog component input and then be able to push it out over HDMI. Any info would be appreciated!

At our school we found this product to be completely ineffectual in all possible configurations. We tried hdmi out -&gt; VGA in = nothing. We reversed that. Nothing. The same results with the yellow video line. Check the small print from the seller and you'll find they warn it only works if the devices being connected have built in conversion. Otherwise, nothing. You may need a converter, not just a cable. Rad up on your laptop's hdmi output... Good luck!

There are converters that will take the signal from the laptop to your television! I used a USB to video cable to do just this until I went HDMI. So, yes, you can. It may look a little weird depending on the screen orientation and pixel ratio from laptop to TV, but you should be able to! Good luck!

No, just get a USB to HDMI adapter or if your laptop has HDMI you can go that route as well, some have big or mini HDMI so just look up you model and see what connections you have. This should help you!

Jimmy, most modern HDTV's do not "like" the old 240P signal which those systems generate video on. My Sony Plasma just gets a black screen on some. By going through your receiver, that device is likely scaling to a different resolution (480i, 480p, 720p, etc.) which the tv then does like! I personally had to get a video upscaler instead of this device, and used that with SCART RGB to go to HDMI. I kept this device to use on my old CRT that accepts component input.

Nice to meet you. The mini port to HDMI actually worked well for me...I only use for my projector but it gets the job done well. No problems at all thus far. Hope this helps.

Jason, I have only used the HDMI ports. I am sorry I couldn't help you with your question...
