Can I connect it only with mini HDMI only? The Universal I/O is too short to connect to laptop. And which mini HDMI would you recommend?

Both of my minis worked right out of the box. One thing to consider, though - and I'll confess this hadn't occurred to me until my first install - is that the audio is transmitted on the HDMI cable.... so if you don't have an HDMI port on your TV (mine didn't), then an HDMI-to-other-video adaptor isn't sufficient - you get picture but no sound. In my case, I had to pick up an HDMI-VGA converter with separate audio out, and run that audio into the TV audio in... then I was good. On my *next* install, TV with HDMI - plugged right in and worked immediately, no problems. Maybe you're in a similar situation... good luck! Both of my minis worked right out of the box.

I don't believe this particular cable is mini HDMI. The one I bought is not mini or I would test it out for you. The cable does not appear to be directional, so I don't believe that it would be a problem if you have the mini HDMI version or an HDMI to mini HDMI adaptor.

There are some out there and I had the same problem. I was told by a computer website that display port was a little higher than hdmi and it wouldn't work correctly so I just use display port to display port

Depends upon whether you have a smaller HDMI connector on your laptop (which I believe you would). My laptop does not have an HDMI "out" so I have not attempted this. I think you need to search for "Mini HDMI to regular HDMI" cable. Hope this helps.

This is not to connect to an HDMI. it is to connect to a VGA display.(If you want to connect a raspberry pi to an HDMI you need nothing)

I have also had intermittent connection on the Mini Display Port connector. I would get a blinking display or lines in the display. Make sure it is well seated, then it seems to work better. I am not sure if it is only this cable, or inherent in the Mini Display Port connection.

Dear Sandy, There are three common HDMI plugs: The "Full-Size" A; The "Mini-Size" C; and the "Micro-Size" D. I'm currently using Dell, Gateway, Toshiba and HP, occasionally. If the Lenovo has one of these ports you should be able to bridge to any monitor with Full-Size A HDMI. The problem which occurs on these other makes is that you have to tell it to send the Video signal out through that port. This is done through the "Function Buttons"--You hold down the "fn" at the lower left of the key board and that activates the row of "Function Buttons" on the top of the key board (e.g., F1, F2, F3...F12)--the button that has logos of two screens (boxes--old units had the initials: LCD/CRT)--there is a sequential button logic that requires hitting the button, once, twice, thrice--on some makes logos appear in the middle of the LCD--one of those choices tells the HDMI port to activate. The choices may have labels like: Extended View, Multi-Screen or Duplicate [clone, also]--the latter choice puts the same image on your laptop and on the external monitor....The Function buttons that make this work differ from make to make (typically F2, F4, F5, F8, etc.)--One other issue I've experienced is that the Dell using Windows 8 seems to default to "Extended View" instead of "Duplicate" so I have to regularly redo the F-Button ritual....Good luck! I hope this helps, Dr. Mike Meehan.

Thanks so much for your response. I'll go ahead and bust it out of the package and try it out. Trying to connect an extra monitor!! Lee

Has anyone tried an HDMI connection from a computer into his receiver? I'm considering hooking up a Mac Mini to it and using media server software to send it audio and video.

The only other thing to try would be an alternate HDMI cable, else contact AMAZON for a return/refund. good luck....mine worked great out of the box.

Wish I could be of help, but no luck here. Since HDMI has been available, I've made several attempts to multi-task with this technology, unsuccessfully. If I remember correctly, one of the reasons for the initial development was to put in place safeguards on content to prevent "pirating" hi-def, with the pressures of the movie studios and replaced component connections. Wish mine were a little heavier, then it'd make a good paper weight. But being no expert, it might seem that for less that 5 bucks, you might have better luck.

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!

It has a mini-HDMI port and comes with a cable adapter from mini-HDMI to VGA port. You might wanna buy a new cable from mini-HDMI to standard HDMI port.

I would recommend and hdmi splitter that takes up one port but turns it Into three or more ports depending on the model I buyhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B008GVOVK0?cache=be13262daff0ab11004eb6b6ddd39105π=SY200_QL40&qid;=1405223702&sr;=8-1#

B. Fisher is correct. I mean, you can hook your laptop up to it via HDMI, but you will not be able to get any internet access.
