I have a Dell monitor that I would like to use as a TV monitor by connecting the cable between the monitor (no PC involved) directly to a Comcast set-top cable box. Will this cable work, or do I need a converter box or both. The monitor is used and...

If the cable is attached to the TV's HDMI port, and the RCA connectors are attached to the converter box's connectors, then it may work, if the convertor box converts the signal from analog to digital. On the other hand, if the cable is attached to your computer's HDMI port, and the cables' RCA connectors are attached to the convertor box (which converts the signal from digital to analog), and the convertor box is attached to your TV by way of another cable & input source, then it may work. What are you trying to accomplish?

This DVI cable cannot connect directly to a VGA port. It is possible to use a VGA to DVI converter plug so that the different ports can connect, but the resulting picture quality has a chance of being very poor; sometimes it may work out well, though. DVI cables deliver digital-clear signals which VGA does not.

Using HDMI, yes. However, since computer monitors aren't designed for TV viewing, you may not get the quality of an HD TV.

I am sorry that I don't have the cable accessible to answer this question. However, I know it connects to DELL laptop through standard VGA to DVI converter

Hello, the answer to your question is that the monitor is not a TV. The monitor has no Tuner to receive TV signal. You can use the monitor for your PC. It has a VGA port and a HDMI port. For more information you can visit www.lg.com and search the product.

Depends on your display monitor or TV. It needs to have a tuner built in to the display to go without a converter box. If it's an old heavy box CRT TV you will probably need a converter box. If it's a newer LCD TV than you probably don't. In a nutshell, your monitor or TV needs to be able to receive ATSC signals.

No, this is to hook up you PC to two monitors, what you need is a switch box, depending on your video out put cables from your X-Box, and what your monitor has on the input connections, if your X-Box has HDMI output, and your monitor does too, then you don't need a Box, It all depends on what kind of monitor you are using. If your using a PC monitor then you will need a multi-cable switch Box, if you use a TV as a monitor, then you should have a few different connections in the back. Hope this helps.

You will need an HDMI cable to use the HDMI connector on the monitor, if you hook it up to a computer it will also need to have a HDMI connector as well. It also has a DVI and a VGA connector.

I think you would need a TV tuner, cable box, or satellite TV box with an HDMI output. Connect that output to the HDMI input on the monitor and it should work. I haven't actually tried this, however, so I can't say for sure.

Luis, here is what I did. I have a basic Dell monitor with a DVI & VGA input connected to my PS3. What I did:(Display)I bought a HDMI to DVI (or HDMI to VGA) and used the HDMI output from the PS3. (Audio)Then, I connected the the PS3 component plug (red/yellow/white) to a pair of desktop speakers. How to:Use the basic component plug (red/yellow/white) [red and white = audio] Go to Radioshack / Amazon or good electronics store and visit the audio department. Purchase an "Audio Component to headphone Jack adapter" What this does : connect red and white component from Xbox/PS3 to this adapter and plug speakers to the other side of the adapter. It should work! Contact me if you need clarification! Luis, here is what I did. I have a basic Dell monitor with a DVI & VGA input connected to my PS3.

There is no TV tuner on the monitor so you can't watch TV unless you use an external tuner. That could be a TV card in your computer for instance in which case you would be able to see the TV channels 'indirectly'. If you connected your cable box (if that is what you use) HDMI output to the monitor, you could also use it to view the cable channels.

Despite what the manual says and implies, NO - this will not work. You need hook the MONITOR OUT to your TV. When you change input you will have to change the input selector on the receiver AND on the TV.

Yes, I have one HDMI cable on one side of the box that goes from the box to the TV. On the other side of the box is a VGA monitor cable with a USB end. The USB end goes into the computer.

Yes. It is hooked up to a 2006 year model Dell monitor. I have had no problems with cable as of this date. Shows 50hz-60hz on back of monitor.

MANUFACTURER ANSWER: Just to clarify regarding this question, the cable will only work going from an HDMI output source to a VGA input. So if your PC has HDMI output and your TV has VGA input, it's likely this will work. If it's the other way around (VGA output to HDMI input) it will not work.

I just got my converter today and it is not working! I have an ASUS laptop with HDMI out and I am trying to connect it to my older VGA monitor.
