If this device will not provide high quality images from my laptop to my older (but wide screen) TV, what device would you recommend? I would like to play movies and stream video from my laptop through my TV. Thanks!!!

This adapter is an HDMI to RCA-3 adapter. One example of use would be that you could use this adapter to connect a newer computer/laptop that has an HDMI port to a TV that has the RCA-3 input. If you have a newer TV such as a LCD or LED screen, then it probably has HDMI already so you could just run HDMI right from the laptop to the TV. However, if you have an older TV such as one of the heavy CRT models, then it probably does not have HDMI but does have the RCA-3. In short, this would be great for connecting a modern laptop to an old TV.

You can, but it doesn't show print very well. Only pictures show clearly......gl2u!!!!

Yes, you can connect this from a laptop with an HDMI video port to an TV with RCA A/V inputs. However, please know that this is not a very high quality converter. The best usage would be to display videos and movies as someone else already mentioned that text, such as your computer desktop, will be almost illegible. This will not suffice as a solution to a second computer monitor. Watching movies will be ok and honestly, the smaller the TV screen size that you use, the better the picture will appear.

Yes, provided that your TV is an HDTV. See the review "How to record PC streaming video on an HDD/DVD recorder".

You can, but ...If your TV is an old, analog model with a 4:3 aspect ratio screen and your laptop is newer with a 16:9 aspect ratio screen, the image on the TV will be horizontally compressed to fit and there's no way to change that. If your TV is recent enough to have a 16:9 aspect ratio, that shouldn't be a problem. You may not get audio output through the TV either. In that case you'll have to connect your laptop's headphone jack to the TV's RCA audio inputs or use other external speakers.

Most HP laptops have a VGA port on them, and that TV seems to have a VGA port. So this cable should work fine for you.

Yes. It takes VGA input (which most older laptops have) and HDMI input (which most newer laptops have). If you use VGA cable to connect, then you also need to use headphone type audio cable to connect from laptop headphone (or separate audio out jack) to the TV audio in jack.

U could use this cord for connecting your laptop to your HDTV if your laptop uses a VGA connection as opposed to an hdmi connection. Your tv will also have to have a VGA connection to. If not I would suggest a VGA to hdmi or an hdmi to hdmi cord. It just depends on which ports your tv and computer have on them already.

No. The coaxial port is for audio. It is not a video port. There is no way to plug your cable box into your laptop and use the screen to watch TV. You can get some sort of online streaming service through your cable provider to do that.

Your TV for sure, but you need to have 2 jacks out of your TV for this to work. It will not work on your laptop.

This device has only RCA type connections. 3 device inputs to I TV output. I suppose you could hook up your laptop if you had a VGA to RCA adaptor. Don't know if there is such a thing.

Your TV MUST have a VGA imput Plug IN and also an INPUT jack for Audio... 3.5 standard. If it doesn't have either of these then you can not connect your laptop to your TV that way. Maybe you just need a HDMI cable.

Probably not. This converter is for changing an HDMI signal into a VGA signal. Not the other way around. If your PC/Laptop has HDMI out, just use an HDMI cable. If your computer has VGA out, just buy a VGA to HDMI cable.

If your laptop has an HDMI out port, then yes. You can connect this TV just like any HD component and both audio and video will work. This TV can also see a media server (Windows media player can do this) that is on the same network as the laptop if you are looking to stream movies or music. If not you will need to buy a VGA to HDMI adapter, preferably one that has audio jacks included that connect to your headphones port. That is a fairly cumbersome method but can be done.

If your TV has audio in, then yes. Make sure the red/white ports are labeled "in" and not out. If so, then your laptop should output sound to your TV. Also make sure the audio device on your laptop is set to the headphone jack.

I only tested it to connect my laptop to a computer monitor with a display port. I am not sure if your HDTV has such a port. It probably has a HDMI port for which you need a different cable. In any case the cable quit working only after a few months. I have thrown it away.

This cord will not work for you. First off its a Display Port to HDMI. Display port is not USB. Another Thing is, the HDMI on this is a female end, not a male end, and i assume the connection on your laptop is a HDMI Port.I'm Not even sure you can use the USB port on your TV for video, I'm pretty sure most TV's only work for HDMI for Video+Audio, or VGA for video Only(No Audio).

There are converters that will take the signal from the laptop to your television! I used a USB to video cable to do just this until I went HDMI. So, yes, you can. It may look a little weird depending on the screen orientation and pixel ratio from laptop to TV, but you should be able to! Good luck!

only if your computer will allow you to change to tv output. just hooking this up won't do it by itself.

as long as you have a VGA port on your laptop on the side or back and check your TV to see if the TV has a VGA port on the side or back as well

I used it to to connect my security cameras to my tv, I'm not sure if it will work to connect your computer to your tv.
