does it have to be hooked to a computer or can I just connect to a TV with a USB port

The Unit requires the provided software and thus probably excludes it from the TV. One alternative is to install the s/w on a laptop (as I did) and then hook to your television using an HDMI or Serial port. Also, the unit comes with a USB plug and thus the Television would have to receive it. some TV's do and some don't, but the software is a requirement. It would be nice to be a plug and play but no dice. Otherwise, the unit is fun for the price. We use ours about once a quarter to explore stuff. The kids get a kick out of seeing things blown up. Hope this helps.

The Celestron 44302 is an excellent tool for both coin and stamp collecting. It work exceptionally well with my PC, however, I have not tried it with a TV. But, I think that it might work alright.

I have not tried to connect it to a TV but there are several work-a-rounds you have to do just to get it to work on your computer.

I'm not certain a TV with a USB port will pass the image through unaided. I think you need to run it through some piece of software so that the image can be projected onto the screen.

The microscope is basically a usb camera. If your tv can display a usb camera input it will work. The shortcoming is you will not get the benefits of the software that allows you to measure the image as well as save it as a jpg for future reference or to send it to someone else for their input.

If your tv has a VGA input then it's easy, you can just run a VGA cable (i.e. A monitor cable) from your PC/laptop to the television. However, if your tv only has HDMI and/or component inputs, then you need a VGA-to-HDMI CONVERTER, which you can search for on Amazon. The only other possibility is that some newer laptops have an HDMI output on them, in which case connecting to your tv would be easy with a basic HDMI cable.

This keyboard is a wireless keyboard, so if your TV has a USB port, all you need to do is connect the usb wireless small drive to your TV and the keyboard will connect. sant667

This thing doesn't need to be hooked up to a computer to operate. You just need a TV or computer monitor. Sorry, but I don't have enough of a Geek background with this to know if it can be hooked up to any computer.

Yes, the tv does have a USB connection. I was able to download some anaglyph 3d youtube videos, convert them to wav format, and watch them with red/blue glasses.

The quick answer is "I don't know", but I searched the Internet on your behalf, it would appear that different manufacturers provide USB port for different reasons but none provide a composite video/audio output that can be input to your television

I believe what you need is an HDMI Cable and you can use it only if your computer has an HDMI port.

No, it needs to plug into a provided USB cable to connect to a computer (which is easy).

I attach it to my television by hdmi cable. The other output is an analog audio/video. I haven't tried hooking it up to my computer.

To the best of my knowledge a USB port always functions as exit and an entrance. My PC doesn't connect to the TV as well that's why I got this device (August VGB100). Simply connect the device to your PC through the USB end, install the software which arrives with the device, connect the TV/VCR/Camera with a RCA cable and digitalize your shows.

You can connect it to a PC, but there is no VGA jack specifically for the PC. You will have to use one of the HDMI inputs.

The HDMI output of your laptop must be connected to an HDMI input on your TV. The USB port on a TV is for reading files off of a flash drive like music or pictures or whatever. Some TVs only have the USB port there for diagnostic purposes and it can only be used by a repair technician. It cannot receive an audio or video input from another device such as a laptop through the USB connection.

It will hook to a TV, it has its own wireless adapter, and I am just using a regular wirelss mouse and keyboard. You can get a bracket for it which you could use to mount it.Dave

It comes with a USB to microUSB cable, so you have to plug it into a computer, unless you have a USB wall adapter.
