Currently I am running a vga from pc to projector, picture is great! I am wondering if I run this through this converter will there be a significant improvement in my picture?

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.

I have a slightly different unit going from S-Video / RCA to HDMI. I don't really feel there is any real signal upgrading, I use it rather to be able to run all my sources though my receiver that only has HDMI. Can you not upgrade the video card to give you an HDMI out in your pc?

probably not a significant improvement did I would bet that there would be some..

Sorry I can't help you there. I have a different set up. I don't see the quality improving from my laptop to TV so if I took an educated guess I would say no.

it might not be compatible this way it may be only backwards compatible HDMI from the laptop to VGA the TV. I only have experience trying to dumb down component for TV. I don't know if it speeds up VGA to HDMI. Sorry I can't help.

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.

You are supposed to run the converter within the device, once it's connected to the computer. All the files you want the projector to read shall be processed first by the converter. Then, from there you save them into the device and they should work fine.

I hooked up a laptop to input 1, and my projector saw it fine but when I hooked up an ipad to a vga adapter the projector did not see the signal. It may be a resolution issue with ipads but laptops work fine

It never worked for me, so idk. I'd imagine that the computer would still see a DP, and the monitor an HDMI. All the converter is doing is moving pins around.

No, You won't be happy with the results, severely degrades the picture quality. Can't connect digital HDMI to analog VGA.

I have used this to go from laptop or desktop (windows OS) VGA port on the pc [that has a video card which supports digital output] to an HDMI input port on Televisions, to get video only. I had to use a separate Y audio cable to get sound from the pc to the TV. Using the projector setting on your pc you will see it on the TV, just check the TV for input, my Mother has DynxxTV and sets it to VGA input, my friend he has to put it on HDMI2 another says their TV has a PC input, so check your TV or Monitor manual.

all I got was the SVGA cable; however I was "told" that your computer has a certain resolution, whatever that may be. I do not think you can get a higher definition picture using one of these devices. What your computer puts out is what will be displayed on the screen. It should be noted that the device can arrange the pixels to make it seem there is a higher resolution. This is what I was told. If you wish to purchase one of these and get back to me as to how the resolution is on your T.V. I would greatly appreciate that, but I never tried the high definition converter, I just bought the cable.

No, you need a converter that will cost about 30$ or so. BTW be sure its RCA or S-video TO VGA and not the other way around. Those do work.

I wondered about the same initially. Need took priority and gave it a try. I have not regretted my decision. I have no resolution concerns or issues. I run my monitors at 1920x1080 resolution without no "visual" issues whatsoever. I guess a lot depends on how good your computer's display output/card is. My laptops are pretty top-of-the-line so no complains here about image quality.

I bought a VGA converter from Microsoft, you will need it if you want to make it work, I had my 360 work with it just fine, but the screen starts blinking after 2 years I bought it.

I have the same projector and it works just fine with a source from either a media player, computer, android tablet or bluray player. It can also switch 2D to 3D. Its an efficient compact converter. You can also power it directly from the usb port in the projector. The connector is not supplied. I used one fromthose old power pack connectors.

It didn't work for me. No signal at all. I have since found out that you need a analog to digital converter to convert the VGA (analog) signal to the HDMI (digital)signal. I may be explaining this wrong, but something like this. Regardless, i had to order a totally different cable with a converter. This cable did nothing for me.

I bought two of these players and both have the same problem with VGA output - there is no red channel, only blue and green are working, and, because of that, colors are distorted. I returned the first unit, received a replacement from Amazon - and the same problem again. Composite, component, HDMI outputs working just fine, so, I decided to keep the second unit, but I do not trust VGA on this player. Regarding your question - it should work, but only if you do not have such problem that I have with this player.

It only has a VGA connection. So you would need some kind of converter and the quality would be poor.

Is it trying to output 1080p HD? This adapter won't work with 1080p. I had to find this out the hard way. Plus, going through many adapters is not a good idea. I'd recommend buying just an HDMI to VGA adapter.
