I have a Dell laptop with a 15-pin secondary video VGA output jack (normally used to connect to a projector). Instead of projector, I would like to connect to my TV, which has aux RCA inputs (white red yellow). Is device OK for this purpose?

It will work for that purpose except it does not have an audio cable. So to get your sound you will need a separate audio cable.

If you found something that did work, could you please tell me what it was? I'm looking for the same thing. I want to connect a Wii (RCA) to my monitor (VGA) since I don't have a TV. I already have the audio thing worked out, but I need a configuration that works for video. Thank you!!

Hi S. Anderson,Is the signal your monitor accepts digital or analog? The HDMI adapter I purchased works great with my Dell 15, but the projector I use at work is analog based and not digital, so my new HDMI - VGA adapter does not work. Hope this helps! Mark V.

If you look at the specifications and video output HDMI looks like the single source. Only one HDMI output along with audio digital/optical and no component video or legacy technology. You can however obtain an adapter cable, HDMI to DVI or an adapter from HDMI to 15-pin VGA video if your TV supports DVI or VGA. No guarantees in compatibilities as it's easier to up convert signals to HDMI VS down converting.

The RCA VGA converter does not convert VGA to RCA and VGA .... Just input RCA outputs .... all others are therefore as has RCA output can not convert the VGA signal to RCA that does not have RCA output

This adapter is for hooking up a VGA monitor to a computer that has a tv tuner card in it. It will not work to connect rca outs to a VGA.

That is exactly how I'm using it. The HDMI is plugged into my Dell laptop, and it is connected to a VGA older monitor so I can have a second screen. It works like a charm!

Yes, you can connect this from a laptop with an HDMI video port to an TV with RCA A/V inputs. However, please know that this is not a very high quality converter. The best usage would be to display videos and movies as someone else already mentioned that text, such as your computer desktop, will be almost illegible. This will not suffice as a solution to a second computer monitor. Watching movies will be ok and honestly, the smaller the TV screen size that you use, the better the picture will appear.

Unfortunately, no. There is no standard RCA-jack "AUX" input, nor are there any "HDMI" jacks.

It is designed to convert the RCA to VGA only. It did not work for me at all, but it is supposed to only go one way (RCA -> VGA). I would look for an active adapter for your needs.

The 15 pin port you mentioned is called VGA port. You want a VGA to HDMI cable/converter or VGA to DVI cable/converter depending on what you want to connect your laptop to. The ethernet and USB ports can't be used to display video (unless you buy an expensive box/device that will help you do that).Note that a VGA port doesn't supply audio information unlike HDMI, there are some converter/cable on the market which can also provide you with some audio by taking the information from your laptop's 3.5mm headphone jack (find them in Google.com or Amazon.com).A VGA signal is also an analog signal rather than digital (unlike DVI or HDMI), so investing in a good quality cable/converter should also be considered.

It should if DELL says the laptop outputs VGA signals via the HDMI port and your monitor accepts digital and not analogue signals (depends on how old it is). You might need to get a HDMI-VGA convertor otherwise; another option would be to get a newer monitor with HDMI. it's only $5 so worth a try, let us know how it goes. Good luck!

This device has only RCA type connections. 3 device inputs to I TV output. I suppose you could hook up your laptop if you had a VGA to RCA adaptor. Don't know if there is such a thing.

Yes, sorta. My tv is an HDTV that has a VGA port and two RCA jacks (Red and white). My laptop has a VGA port and a headphone jack. To get sound from the PC to the tv I have to use an adapter that attaches to one end of the cable (The 3.5 male end), and splits it into the red and white RCA jacks. Works great.

I'm not technical but there is an AUX IN jack (24) (3.5mm stereo jack) on the front of the unit to be used for connecting external playback machines - don't know if it works with TVs.

You need a different product for that. This one can convert an RCA signal to VGA. You need one to convert VGA to RCA.
