I am trying to connect an older (well like 2009 old) dell inspiron laptop (VGA port) to a newer HDTV which has the HDMI port..will this work for me?

Sorry can't answer that. Ordered it for a Mac Mini 2013 and it did not work, so it was scrapped. Have not tried it on anything else.

The wire receives VGA and converts it into an HDMI output. So, as long as you have the regular VGA cable connected to the laptop, then yes. But it will not connect the two by itself.

Theoretically it will, I believe I got it to work for me, although you may have to adjust the resolution on the laptop

It should work fine. I have used this device as a second connector to an old monitor that lacked an hdmi input as well as on my computer for dual screen capabilities (1 hdmi port and 1 dvi port, but I only use hdmi cords). I hope this helps.

That one I have not done, but logically it should work. I only know that it did not work when I hooked up my laptop which had both VGA and HDMI to the TV which had HDMI. The only thing I don't know is if the projector is a male or female, because I believe the VGA on the cable is male. That is why I ended up having to buy a HDMI-HDMI cable. I don't even think the new laptops have a VGA anymore.Hope that helps.

Hello, Good question but there is no VGA port. I imagine you are trying to connect a monitor to the laptop. I went to TIGER DIRECT and purchased a HDMI (laptop port) to a DIN (monitor port), and this was successful. Hope this helps!

I'm not sure I used it on a Dell inspiron 531s and also used the vga port and it worked fine.

Sorry for the delay. We are using this adapter to connect a VGA monitor to an HDMI port on a computer running MS-Windows. It should connect any VGA monitor to an HDMI port on your Dell laptop. The device is working well for us.

Be sure your old computer has an HDMI output (if so it is likely the graphics card will provide a signal suitable for HDTV). Obviously, the TV needs to have a VGA-type input. This unit does not allow a VGA output from a computer to do an HDMI input into a TV. (Which is what I suspect you are looking for).

NO. The vga end of this cable is the female Vga socket, the same socket that you have on your laptop. The cable is designed to plug into a HDMI output on a laptop and then hook to an older style VGA monitor cable. Great for all the new laptops only have HDMI outputs.

No, this won't work for you (the ports are reversed from what you want: your laptop must have an HDMI port, and your monitor must have VGA port).

Not without modifications. This unit has the old VGA plug from the monitor and into the computer. You would either need a VGA to HDMI adapter, or a different interface unit. I'm sure I saw them for HDMI. I had to really look to find this unit with the old style plug.

This is not an adapter. This is a HD converter. I have a very old laptop without an HDMI port. This converts the signal to HD so I can use my HD TV as a computer monitor. If this is actually what you are looking for, it should work with all Windows OS's. I am no expert but I have Windows 7.

Hi S. Anderson,Is the signal your monitor accepts digital or analog? The HDMI adapter I purchased works great with my Dell 15, but the projector I use at work is analog based and not digital, so my new HDMI - VGA adapter does not work. Hope this helps! Mark V.

Unless you have some special speakers all computer spekaers and monitors will connect with the new and newer systems... you may have an issue with the monitor as most current systems have dropped the old VGA pin connector in favor a the new DVI/HDMI connections... so worst case you have to buy a cheap converter or invest in a new monitor... your eyes will appreciate that!

You would likely need an adapter or two. This does not have an HDMI port in the laptop, so you would have to convert a VGA connection to HDMI. You might be better suited with a Chromecast or ROKU device if you want to stream content to your TV from your network.

No, VGA has to be the source. You can use our HDMI to VGA adapter: http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Gold-Plated-Adapter-USB-Power/dp/B00879DM56/ Please make sure your laptop has a HDMI port.

No, this will not drive an HDMI TV from a VGA netbook. It only works the other way around. It will drive a VGA TV/Monitor from a HDMI netbook. To go from VGA to HDMI, you need a converter box and they cost considerably more.

Pretty much like what everyone has said here:1. Check to see if your laptop has a displayport/dpmini OR dual-link DVI OR look into if HDMI cables can support that rez.2.Look up if the graphics card in your laptop can support that rez. Just go to the product page for the website of your card and it should be there.I have a 3-4 year old laptop (Dell XPS L501X) and from what I have researched it should be able to work with this screen.
