Will this cable output Samsung Chromebook to a conventional 3 RCA TV video &amp; Sound? I see a lot of one * reviews because this product did not work for them. If I need additional equipment to make this cable work for the above application? I would like...

Sorry for the delay. I was so intrigued by this question I went out and purchased a micro-HDMI to HDMI adapter and tested this. I cna confirm this works with Chromecast; however, I cannot power up the Chromecast w/ the display's micro-USB port b/c it's micro-USB to micro-USB female/female.

I currently use this device with my Samsung 3 Chromebook with the ARM processor. Depending upon the HDMI cable used you may need a 5V supply. I went ahead and use a 5V supply then I don't have to worry. Hope this helps.

I can't see why not! I just bought a new Chromebook and a new Samsung TV; it connects perfectly. Although I do not use the cable so much for my notebook, I enjoy it almost every evening for a selective video. I prefer "streaming" any day, it is so convenient! If it doesn't work for you, I believe there is a return policy. I would certainly give shot! Note: And if you are not aware, Amazon has a free "streaming" library for Prime users, which saves on Hulu Plus or Netflix, in addition to free expedited shipping on selected items. Enjoy!

I tried using this device - and it worked converting Component to HDMI... but had an issue with Audio. HDMI image displayed correctly - but no audio. That made the device useless for me... did not play with it again. For your question - If you compare image 2 (front of box) and image 4 (rear of box) - coax appears to be output - alongside HDMI and SPDIF... so, though I didn't test coax... I would guess no to your question - as it appears coax is output - not input.

I don't think this will work with all computers. I have a 7-yr old Dell with a DVI tmonitor port - even with the DVI to HDMI adapter that came with the computer I'm not getting a signal. Also, so far it is not working with my Acer Chromebook either.

It may work. There is a special HDMI technology that makes it so the same video can't be shared to an excess amount of screens for copyright reasons (i.e. hooking a DVD player or computer up to 300 Tvs with a splitter of some sort), which has caused problems with DVD players not working if you have read the product reviews. It may work. No, it will not have sound. DVI is not like HDMI, but is more like VGA: it carries video, not audio or both. You may have to use another sound cable in addition to this in order for you to get sound, assuming your Chromebox has one, which I bet it does (a 3.5mm audio jack will do perfectly). This only costs $2.95 and shipping is free, so you should go right ahead and order this, but read some of the product reviews first. I recommend it.

If you can ask him that would be great just ordered this and am wondering if he used a media cable or a usb to rca cord. I ordered a few but see that some do not work. Don't wanna waste my money. :-) I have the ipod cord so maybe its the same one?

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!!

I read that audio is not supported, BUT will the laptop/chromebook audio speakers still work or by plugging into the HDMI port it cuts out the audio of the laptop.

That's exactly what I tried (except I think you meant HDMI output, not input). It didn't work at all for this particular converter. I'm going to try a more expensive converter that looks identical and supposedly does the same thing, but I haven't ordered it yet.

Hi Michelle,I'm not sure I understand your question but the way this device works is that it takes a DVI and audio signals as inputs and outputs a HDMI signal. The chromecast has to plug into your TV's HDMI input and USB input. If you don't have those inputs on your TV the Chromecast won't work.

Todd, not knowing what kind of, or how old of a PC you have makes for a tricky answer. I have many PCs over the years from desktops, laptops, to Apple. In most instances you should be able to accommodate almost any type though. The Samsung-UN32EH4050-32-Inch-Class-Series has 3 types of inputs; 2 HDMI, coaxial, and composite. It also has two types of audio inputs if not running HDMI; RCA, and fiber optic inputs. Most computers now a days come with HDMI output already. In the past I fretted about whether I could buy an HDMI Monitor or HDTV and run my computer on it as well. Never fear, while this is a true HDTV (has TV tuner installed) and not a monitor, it does not come with a VGA adapter or cable. However I have found that any aftermarket VGA to HDMI adapter will work on this product. You can find many adapter types for your particular VGA cable right on Amazon. Just look at your cable and order appropriate connector. And, If you don't have a cable, you can find that on Amazon also. I used a StarTech-DVI-Cable-Adapter. Also be aware HDMI carries audio as well as video. So you will need to run your sound output to the RCA inputs. I use a Belkin Audio Y Cable Splitter 1-Mini Plug, 2-RCA Plugs (6 feet). This Samsung model has excellent sound if you want to use that instead of your external speakers--your call.

I bought this cable and am very happy with it. I use a Google Chromebook, which has HDMI out. I have it going into my monitor, which has DVI in. I'm not certain if this cable works both ways, but I found the guys via customer service for Cables Unlimited to be very helpful. If they haven't already responded with certainty regarding the 2-way compatibility, I suggest emailing them directly. They'll take care of you.

I have similar problem with this cable. My Samsung TV used to say "No input signal". But the other converter (BestDealUSA or TOOGOO 3-in-1 display port to HDMI) that I have transmits video signal properly. Thats why I do not recommend ththis cable. As far as audio is concerned I dont think Mac's mini display port outputs sound. You can use the sound speakers from the mac book, or connect audio cables from Mac's audio out to TV's audio input.

Can you please explain this? I have been using a tv from 1995 and use a co-axial cable to hook it up. I am not familiar with HDMI cable, so if this is the only type that plugs into the tv, how can I hook the other end up to my cable box and DVD player? The cable box is newer so may be compatible, but the DVD player is fairly old as well. I don't want to buy a tv that I can't use my DVD player with. Thank you!

The description for this item says your display system must support component video signal output function in order for the image to display properly. I use the cord to connect a dvd player to a projector and it works wonderfully. Sounds like you have a compatibility issue.
