I want to use this cable to connect my new laptop (which has HDMI) to an older projector which has VGA.

My laptop has an hdmi and my tv had a vga it works fine and the picture looks more sharper than a normal vga so it won't be blurry this is perfect for what you're trying to do.

Perfect product, perfect company. That's what I did and it worked great. What may not be obvious is that the cable has an embedded circuit in one of the connectors. It is much more than just a cable with connectors. The HDMI power (from the laptop) powers this circuit, so insert the HDMI end last.

Hi Jennifer. I think it should work just fine. My laptop only has an HDMI port as well and this adapter works great for PowerPoint projectors and monitors. It was a convenient, low cost work around. Good luck!

If I understand your question correctly, no. This cable is intended to connect FROM a DisplayPort output on your laptop to a VGA input on a monitor or projector.

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.

HDMI or VGA cable will work. If you only have a DVI port, you can get a HDMI to DVI adapter.

Yes. Use a Standard DVI cable which most new laptops support or you will have to buy a converter.

This projector comes with a VGA cable-commonly known as a DE-15. (Go to Wikipedia/VGA Connector for a picture). If your laptop has one of those plugs in the back, you are all set. It also has an HDMI connector, but does not ship with an HDMI cable. (Wikipedia/HDMI for a picture). If you laptop only has an HDMI connector, you will need your own cable.

There is a VGA port and USB ports on the laptop. It depends on what type of connector the projector has to determine if you can hook it up to the laptop.

This one will work so copy and paste it into Amazon search:HDE 1080p HDMI Male to VGA Female Video Converter Adapter Cable for PC, TV, Laptops, DVD Players, and Other HDMI Devices

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

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

A vga cable should do the trick, if your laptop does not have a vga port connect it to the projector and manage your display settings until it works, you can have it set to work on multiple workspaces or just mirror your screen like a regular monitor.

I just got my converter today and it is not working! I have an ASUS laptop with HDMI out and I am trying to connect it to my older VGA monitor.

I do NOT have that video card, but this cable converts HDMI output to VGA. On my laptop (setup at 1920*1080) resolution this cable did NOT work to an InFocus analog only projector. When I lowered the laptop resolution to 1600*900, the cable worked fine. Eventually, I switched to a different projector at the school that accepted HDMI at 1920*1080.

No, you should not buy this adapter. This adapter is for connecting to Ethernet port. It depends on your projector but you should buy either VGA, HDMI or DVI adapter.

it might not be compatible this way it may be only backwards compatible HDMI from the laptop to VGA the TV. I only have experience trying to dumb down component for TV. I don't know if it speeds up VGA to HDMI. Sorry I can't help.

Yes, the cable can be used to connect a laptop or notebook computer with a vga port to an HD television.
