For doing things like watching a video or playing a game on it would be ok...But: the text that you would see would be completely unreadable. Your TV would need to have a refresh rate (60-75 Hz) like a computer monitor does, and at least component (RGB) connectors. Also see if your TV has connectors like these: VGA, DVI - these would work better than the ancient S-video.

Has anyone tried something like this (click me)? I don't have this projector yet, considering purchasing, but I do own a scan converter of the type in the link, and have gotten better than satisfactory results hooking up VGA out of my Dell XPS1640 to RCA inputs on other projectors and on TVs.

Yes, you can, I was very pleased, none of the stores had this or knew how to do it, but it makes the connection and works with older vga devices, when you have the newer HDMI ports. Very pleased. Jim Moore

I plugged it into my Dell Laptop using the supplied cable (this means yes to VGA) - no problem at all, great, bright display. That's what I wanted, I never counted the other ports, suggest you read the specs.

You need a converter box which are fairly expensive. DVI are Digital and VGA are analog.

VGA to TV Converter S-Video RCA Cable AdapterThis is not what you think no matter what card you have for video. I have a 200.00 N-Vida for TV and gaming and had Best buy'[s Geek squad come out and fix and they were all certified to date and way past in knowledge. Best we got was snow with barely a picture with sound that was not hearable after 3 hours work where as in 1 hour your "adapter????" was junked and I and my buddy used our own equipment. It was terrible but at least i got a picture and yours gave nothing. By the way if you are going to attempt, line up holes in adapter as they were bent as probably someones return.

If the converter box is using component out, no, this will not work. You would need a small box that converts component to VGA like http://amzn.com/B009GUQYBO or http://amzn.com/B0014BL9PO.

It doesn't come with a converter that I remember but those are very inexpensive. It has a dvi, a hdmi and 2 micro hdmi ports. I don't know about which is better for gaming, but I know that any benefit you would gain from a dvi will be lost if you convert it to vga. I suspect that hdmi might be faster then vga, but honestly unless you are a razor-edge, 99th percent pro gamer that the difference is entirely negligable. I certainly don't notice a difference between dvi-to-vga and hdmi. Hope this was helpful.

you need to use HDMIIt does not have VGA.I don't recommend this Samsung TV, for that not any Samsung TV.They upgrade the TV Software remotely, sometimes it causes issues and it cases several times and I was without service, it is highly frustrating.I could not return it due to short return time and there is no customer service, it is for name sake.

I've gone thru with http://www.ramelectronics.com/ and talked to one of their lead tech support. He said "unless I have an adapter ( which is around $300) for the signal scaling from pc to tv", a simple converter will not work. They also sell vga to hdmi cables.

Yes will go into standard VGA - no USB or HDMI output which is a downside for some.

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.

Hey Matt, this converter will NOT work for your needs as it only converts HDMI to VGA and not the other way around like in your case. Instead look for a VGA to HDMI converter

No. It's VGA to analog connector. But, it does not convert any signal at all. In fact it is useless.

Yes, I set one up to send VGA and Audio to a projector and it worked well. Added two additional classrooms -- those two converters were shipped from China and took a few week to arrive. Look for Prime or US shipping for speedy delivery.

Yes (note that converting to VGA would require an active converter, however).

If you are able to run the projector with VGA then your projector is set up to receive VGA. My laptop outputs VGA but my TV receives HDMI, not VGA. This is a converter. It only changes the signal from VGA to HDMI. I don't think it amplifies the signal. I am not an expert, but I suspect the more times you convert a signal something may be lost. If your projector receives VGA as well as HDMI, I can see no reason why you would get an improvement by converting the signal. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" would seem to apply here.
