Is the HDMI output on this laptop video only?

Typically, the audio and video transfer through a single HDMI cable. However, in some cases such as video only monitors or separate A/V components, you may want to have some extra cables handy.

There is a VGA output which we have connected to a 32 inch HD TV. The extended display works well (laptop screen + external monitor). Haven't tried the HDMI port, but would guess that works as well.

There is a port on the back side of the computer, next to the monitor's video output, that is labeled "HDMI." I have not used it.George

The resolution will be HD but the picture will have noise and interference patterns. Can anyone confirm that this laptop lacks HDMI? It looks like it doesn't, which is a shame...

This computer does not have an hdmi output...it has a display port output that requires an adapter to connect an hdmi cable. If you are using a display port to hdmi adapter, I am not sure what the problem is. Hopefully it is the adapter and not the port/card.

I am note sure because I use it mostly with my TV, I do not use with my computer/laptop, since it is little older and does not have HDMI..Sorry Vaclav

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

No. You need a USB to HDMI cable. But if your laptop has a display port (usually bigger than your USB port) then you can use this

Yes, if u have the HDMI outlet on your laptop, make sure that is a regular HDMI but not the minor one

If you have only one HDMI port then chances are it is for "output" only. There are laptops that have an HDMI "input" port. Most that do have two, one labelled "input" the other "output". Do a search on your laptop model and make to be certain. The same goes for desktop PC's. Desktop PC monitor's and HDTV's have HDMI "input" ports. I do have one HDTV that has an HDMI "output" port in addition to the two "input" ports. Not sure what I would actually use it for. A second HDTV showing the same picture? A recordable Blu-Ray player? But most of those use USB 3.0 for input. If you have only one HDMI port then chances are it is for "output" only. There are laptops that have an HDMI "input" port.

Hi....I just checked and do not see any HDMI or other output for this unit. As a side note...the monitor included has a beautiful picture although it's just a 20.

I believe you could change the settings on your laptop to run the video through the HDMI but the audio through the laptop's speakers.EDIT 1: I just tried it out myself on a Windows 8 laptop and I was able to switch audio output from the projector to the laptop seamlessly.

Apparantly has both HDMI and VGA; see http://computercritique.com/acer-aspire-p2020m-nx-mgaaa-004-e1-731-4699-laptop-review/

As far as i'm aware yes the cable is bi-directional and if you connect it to a DVI port you can then connect that to HDMI TV but remember you will still not get sound through HDMI in that setup unless your laptop SPECIFICALLY supports sound out through DVI (not all do.)

No, Hdmi 1 and 2 are inputs only to the monitor, they are not out put drivers.

I don't have S-Video out on my laptop, so I can't help you there. I do have VGA out and connecting my PC to the HDTV involved nothing more than hooking up the cables between the 2 units, and selecting the appropriate input source on the TV (usually by pushing the SOURCE button on the TV remote several times until the right one shows up). Your laptop may also have an external video output button that you have to press. Most laptops I've seen put these functions up in the F-keys. My Acer, for example is F5 + the Fn key.
