I want to show powerpoint slides from my laptop to tv...couldn't get my wifi blu-ray player & computer to connect. Will this cable work for that?

YES. As long as your TV and laptop both have HDMI ports. I use it exactly for that - HDMI on laptop to HDMI on TV. Is wonderful because it also carries audio on the HDMI cable so you can easily watch movies (say from iTunes) on TV too.

No, it won't work. I used this to interface a TV with a cable box. You need the HDMI for the TV if equipped, and a USB for the computer. If it were me, I would get a USB to HDMI cable if they make one.

I called Epson support and was told that the wireless works for things like a photo slideshow, but would not be fast enough for a professional presentation such as Powerpoint. There are also issues with wifi applications if being shown in a hotel for instance.

At our school we found this product to be completely ineffectual in all possible configurations. We tried hdmi out -&gt; VGA in = nothing. We reversed that. Nothing. The same results with the yellow video line. Check the small print from the seller and you'll find they warn it only works if the devices being connected have built in conversion. Otherwise, nothing. You may need a converter, not just a cable. Rad up on your laptop's hdmi output... Good luck!

Yes, it will work, but you will need an alternate port on the Blu-ray player for audio (i.e. Optical audio output, or coaxial) because DVI doesn't carry audio through unlike HDMI does.

Thats all I did with this cable. Just plug it into your comp, or dvd player and it should work like a charm.

It didn't work to connect my hdmi pc to my vga monitor. I had to buy HDMI Input to VGA Adapter Converter For PC Laptop NoteBook HD DVD. Also, it wouldn't work from my old vga pc to a hdmi tv.

I agree with Kevin. I don't believe the one for this Panasonic player is. I'm not sure if that's always the case, but if you have this specific blue ray disc player by Panasonic, I think you can only purchase the wireless Panasonic LAN adapter made for the player. Hope this helps and things work out for you...

It should work. Only reason it shouldn't be working is if the HDMI port on the Blue Ray is not giving enough power. If you do get it, I suggest trying it on a TV with HDMI and try connecting it to a VGA Laptop

Well, before answering, let me say that this blu-ray is one of the worst pieces of technology that I have ever purchased. However, it will probably connect and work with your desktop monitor but not with your laptop. A laptop's HDMI pushes signal out. It does not receive. A desktop's HDMI receives, it does not push out. I am not 100% sure but that is what I suspect.

If it is an ethernet connection on the blue ray, then this cable should work

It is wifi ready, not wifi built-in. Meaning you have to plug something else in to receive the signal. The problem is that many USB adapters do not work with sony blu ray players. Sony says only their $80 adapter will work. What Janean and everyone is asking which USB adapters will work besides Sony's.

I tried this cable with an older projection hdtv and had no luck. The difference was I was trying to connect my new dvd blu ray player, but still had no luck.

It will work only if you have or get blu-ray playback software.It does not come with any.Most pc's do not come with it pre-installed.

Being an HDMI cable, you have to have HDMI ports on both the laptop and TV that you want to use for the presentations. If you do, this cable will work great. It's a quality product and highly recommended!

Unlikely, Most projects are only running tiny operating system and usually don't have usb drivers for anything other than usb storage. The projector itself would have to a driver for this adapter and have a setup screen for bluetooth. I do not know of any projector that can do that. I would suggest something like Chromecast, Matchstick, Roku stick, or Fire tv that plugs into a projector through HDMI and would stream over wifi.

The specs say as long as you can connect ur device via Ethernet and the bridge is connected to ur network it should work. I have my bluray connected and it works great.

Yes, but because it doesn't have wi fi built in, you will either need to run an ethernet cable to it from where the router is, but if you have a wireless router, use can use a wi fi extender that allows you to plug an ethernet cable into it to the blu ray player or use a powerline ethernet adapter to connect an ethernet cable to the blu ray (that will run the Internet to other areas of your house using the power grid & power outlets in your home). The last is the best method I found, as the wif fi extender would drop signal sometimes, but the powerline adapter doesn't & gives me a better connection.
