No. The VGA port on a laptop puts out a video signal that this device converts to an HDMI signal for your TV. The VGA port does not accept a video signal from any other device.

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.

No! You will have to use another method such as via your vga (video) port or other a/v port if your laptop has one. You may also be able to use USB to HDMI method but I cannot guarantee that it will work with your laptop.

Yes if they are both HDMI, i use it for my xbox, either for my screen on the wall, or on my desk. I just turn on the television I want to use.

If the back of your Xbox 360 has a port that looks like the trapezoidal one in this picture (http://www.spainsellers.com/images/Xbox-360-Slim.jpg), then it SHOULD work, but no guarantees. I would suggest an HDMI cable instead of this, if the monitor/screen you're trying to connect to has an HDMI port.

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).

I use mine mostly to connect my xbox 360 to the tv with no problem. I connected my chromebook an it worked also.

If the XBOX, TV and Laptop have HDMI jacks, it should. If you can drive the TV and Laptop separately with HDMI, this device is designed to allow both to utilize a single HDMI input simultaneously. One signal in, two signals out.

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.

You can use a VGA for the Xbox 360 to connect to a projector on one occasion. There is an adapter called: DVI-VGA converter. It can be found here:StarTech DVI to VGA Cable Adapter, M/F (DVIVGAMF)So I hope this really answers your question Sir or Ma'am. This is the only way I know how to do it and that works.

I don't know for sure because I don't know what output Xbox uses, but this device has ports for optical and coaxial inputs. If Xbox uses another type of output (like HDMI?) it wouldn't work. There are other converters for that on Amazon, if it's what you need.

It depends. Your laptop will need to have an output compatible with one of the available TV's inputs.

The monitor does not have HDMI input only RCA (yellow, red , white ) plugs so if your xbox has RCA the your good to go. The power and ground are loose wires. Not hard to solder plugs to. Remember that this is a 12 volt monitor tho so you will need an adapter to convert the 110 household power to 12 volts. But totally possible! Good luck

Not beyond setting it up. You have to configure the thing. Once that's done,no you do not. Oncecconnected to the TV and turned on it will show up as an external monitor. TV must be setto pproper HDMI input and visit launched on the computer.

No. This is a VGA-TO-HDMI converter. You'll need a HDMI-TO-VGA converter to connect your xbox to a computer monitor.
