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

Yes, you can use your laptop or desktop to do all of the same functions. I do this very successfully with no more effort than hooking up the HDMI cable to both the laptop and the HDTV. The main downside for me is that my HDTV and laptop are normally at opposite ends of the house. I have to disconnect the laptop, set up a small table next to the HDTV and then connect the power and HDMI. In addition, my mouse won't work on the laptop from 18 feet away so I have to get up and go to the PC to pause/start the movies. I am seriously considering either the RUKO or a Blu-Ray player to simplify the process. Yes, you can use your laptop or desktop to do all of the same functions.

No. This will go to the monitor VGA input alright but hooks up to the computers USB port. You need to be running Windows.

My television will do either DMI or VGA. The computer hard drive itself also has jacks obviously for both connections If you wanted to run 2 monitors off of it. One jack for each type. Hope this helps!

No, this will not do what you are attempting. You either need to get a USB to VGA adapter that will allow your PC to output its video via the USB and then a cable to connect the VGA end of the adapter to the VGA input on your TV. Not sure what sort of computer you are using, but I've never seen one that doesn't either have a VGA output or come with a converter to allow VGA output (unless it is a slim Chromebook or similar).

You will need a VGA cable connected to the computer, to the VGA connection on your TV. You may have to use a short VGA splitter on back of your computer. You may purchase this on Amazon. That's the way I have mine hooked up.

the resolution is a vga but when you connect it to the hdtv it will upscale the video to 1080i, I don't think it will do it in computer. I will tell you more when I get it.

The laptop most likely has VGA, but not the male end of VGA. This is from vga to hd not from hd to vga. SO you have an hd tv. What you need is the male end of HD And the male end of VGA. woCharger(TM) 5 Feet 1.5M Gold HDMI to VGA converter adapter cable for HDTV,Computer Monitor VGA This is probably what you want.

Two sets of HDMi cables are bundled together with the hub. You just need to hook up the HDMI connector into each of the two computers/laptop. Plug in the USB wireless mouse/keyboard and you will be able to use one set of input devices with one monitor, and choose from either one computer/laptop. Native HDMI has to be 1.3 minimum.

Yes, You can connect the HDMI output of your PC to the HDMI input of your TV or projector.It does not have a VGA input. Set VGAIN@1080 FullHD for correct resolutionGood Luck

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.

Yes, just check for your laptop video output, all you need is the hdmi cable or vga.

It depends on what you are trying to do. You CAN'T go from a VGA output from your computer to a digital input on the monitor. I ended up not using this adapter and buying a new, plain vanilla video card with two HDMI outputs, and connecting my monitors with HDMI cables. ( P.S., this was a snap; there was futzing around involved at all).

The computer has two video output ports. One HDMI, the other VGA. Both ports can be used at the same time if desired.

I was able to accomplish this with the same PC. I used a DVI adapter for the second monitor.
