Want to connect old VGA monitor to HDMI input on computer... Will this work for that?

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.

The one I bought from Amazon for $6.95 did not work properly, for me. The screen kept coming on and off. Since I have a Samsung computer, I ended up buying a similar device from Samsung. It worked perfectly, but cost about $45.00 w/ shipping.

I want to connect my hp notebook 15 to an lcd projecto, would this work? My notebook has hdmi cone ton and my lcd has a vga connection

Yes...this is exactly what I did. I already had one monitor hooked up to my pc with a regular vga cable. I wanted to add a second monitor and the only video port I had left on my pc was an hdmi port. So I plugged the hdmi end of this adaptor into the back of the pc and attached the vga cable of the second monitor to vga side of this adaptor...so far, it works perfectly and both monitors work. Hope this helps.

Yes it will. You might have to tweek setting on your monitor to get it to work but it will work.

You mean HDMI "Output" on computer. That should work.Advantage of buying from Amazon is you can return it if it don't work :)Good Luck.

It depends on what you are trying to do. You CAN'T go from a VGA output from your computer to a digital input on the monitor. I ended up not using this adapter and buying a new, plain vanilla video card with two HDMI outputs, and connecting my monitors with HDMI cables. ( P.S., this was a snap; there was futzing around involved at all).

no you would still need a convertor to convert the analog vga signal to the hdmi digital signal, this cable cannot do it alone without a convertor or a very limited type of vga card that converts it for you

Nope. Only inputs are DVI and VGA. HDMI is less likely to be on monitors specifically since it includes audio signal which the monitor won't process (and could play havoc with your audio out from your computer).

Yes, this will take HDMI from your PC to standard VGA output which you can connect to any VGA input device

No, this is a serial to USB adapter. It has nothing to do with VGA or video.

This only works with a display port output. Typical on MacBooks and some Dell, Lenovo, and He laptops. From my reading their is no converter that works with VGA or Hdmi.

Your VGA monitor will work but sound will need to be hooked up to another audio device to listen to. I use an RCA to 1/8" stereo adapter to run the audio to my line input on my PC and use the PC speakers. So you would use the white and red from your receiver for audio and the yellow RCA is your video to the converter.

&gt;can i use this to connect my pc to monitor? Works for me. HDMI output on my laptop to DVI connector on a monitor.

only if your laptop has a very specific vga card, you would actually need a vga to hdmi that has a in line convertor, some people have bought this wire not knowing that it won't work

I have both HDMI and VGA connections on my HDTV, but the VGA didn't work until I bought a VGA/HDMI converter box. They're not expensive (mine was $10) I have an older Dell tower that's been refurbished but didn't have the HDMI connection, so the converter box was an inexpensive way to go.

Bought mine for the other way around - PC graphics card had HDMI and I wanted to connect to an old VGA monitor. It worked but it may not work for PC VGA out to TV HDMI in. I reference the product description where it says "HDMI to VGA / RCA cable is designed to connect and transfer signals from HDMI port to VGA / RCA port". It doesn't specifically call out a reverse capability. It's so cheap however and has free shipping that you could take a chance and find our for yourself.

No you need the hdmi to VGA converter box it converts digital to analog. The one in question converts analog to digital

I doubt it. I returned this item since it did not work for me. I was trying to push HDMI from a laptop to different displays (tried a Monitor, my TV, and a projector) and it failed to recognize the VGA ports. I believe this was mislabeled and is a VGA to HDMI cable, not the other way around.

No. This cable is useless - you have to have an interface adapter to mate VGA to HDMI.

Yes, that's what it does -- RCA (or s-video) to VGA. It works, but the quality is very poor.

I am not quite sure of the question but I will try to help.... The VGA port is the standard port that a monitor would use to connect to. You would not use this to connect a VGA output from a laptop to HDMI. This is the revers of that. This takes HDMI input to VGA output.
