I purchased the HDMI to VGA Adapter Cable for the specific purpose of being able to watch Amazon Instant Videos on my TV. However, when I hook up the HDMI end to the Westinghouse TV port and VGA end to my PC it is not recognizing my TV. It says it does...

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.

I have used this to go from laptop or desktop (windows OS) VGA port on the pc [that has a video card which supports digital output] to an HDMI input port on Televisions, to get video only. I had to use a separate Y audio cable to get sound from the pc to the TV. Using the projector setting on your pc you will see it on the TV, just check the TV for input, my Mother has DynxxTV and sets it to VGA input, my friend he has to put it on HDMI2 another says their TV has a PC input, so check your TV or Monitor manual.

This depends on the video output of the PC. A friend of mine had a simular senario trying to connect a Samsung Smart TV that had only HDMI output to an Emachine desktop that only had VGA. It didnt work.

No this cable will not concert from vga to hdmi. You need a converter box to do that. I made the mistake of buying it for the exact same computer and reason which was a waste of money. Do not buy this cable to convert from vga to hdmi. It won't do it.

You have a component video to VGA cable. The TV connectors are composite video connections. Different interface standard. Component video is and better, but if your tv doesn't have blue green and white connections, don't use that adaptor in the composite video interface.

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.

Sounds like a defective cable. I bought a micro hdmi to hdmi cable and it works great. Not so well with a micro hdmi adapter. If it doesn't work with another cable and/or the VGA cable, then the unit is probably defective.

I hope you can answer this for me. I'm planning on getting this tv due to the awesome reviews, but am curious about connecting it to my PC. My PC tower has the plug for what I'm thinking is called a VGA. It is blue and has 15 pin holes, 3 rows of five. Now, I figure I will have to purchase a special cord to use this tv as a monitor. I'm confused about which is VGA, DVI, and HDMI. What cord do I need to purchase so this will work as a monitor for me? Thanks in advance!

It didn't work for me. No signal at all. I have since found out that you need a analog to digital converter to convert the VGA (analog) signal to the HDMI (digital)signal. I may be explaining this wrong, but something like this. Regardless, i had to order a totally different cable with a converter. This cable did nothing for me.

Bought HDMI to VGA but never got it working, don't know where is the problem there.

My husband is the real expert in this area, but after an inspection of my LG TV I see that we have the cord plugged into a HDMI input on the TV. I think that this cord only goes from HDMI to HDMI. If your VGA TV also has a HDMI port it would work, but if you only have VGA, then this cable is NOT for you. I hope that answer is helpful!

Mine didn't work. I asked for a replacement but its been over a month and nothing has arrived so far. I have been sent tracking numbers so I think they tried sending a new one but it just hasn't arrived. I wouldn't buy this if I were you. In theory it should work though. VGA is analog and thus is a lower resolution than HDMI. I'm going to buy a whole new monitor that supports DVI rather than dealing with the crappy quality of my VGA monitor. Its up to you man I wouldn't buy though.

It didn't work for me... Do you have two monitors that each have VGA connectors, but you have a computer that has one VGA port and one HDMI port? That is what I had, and I found although this seems like it would connect the two, it doesn't work. I found success with an adaptor that connected via the USB port that was ~$40 from Best Buy. I had failed with this cable as well as two other splitters. The spitters left me with mirror images/replicas and this connector quite frankly did nothing. Good luck!

Don't buy it. I did and it doesn't work. I then knew that it can never work because VGA is an analog sign and HDMI is digital so it is required a converter. I don't know why it is allowed to sell it. Save your money and try something like chromecast.

The product, VGA to RCA Converter, works as described, with all TV's that have a "composite" input,that is, the yellow/white/red connections (although the red and white cables are for sound and not involved with this device), and also with TV's that use the outdated "S-Video" input. The vertical color bars, or "stripes" you are seeing is when the converter has no input from the computer. I've seen that screen before on my system when I remove the video connection from the computer first. If you are using the reverse unit, RCA to VGA, then I don't know what you'll see.
