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.

Yes you can, but you have to set your laptop to CRT instead of LCD. LCD is the normal way for a laptop to display into the LCD of the laptop. You have to switch to CRT in order to send the image along the VGA output. Normally you find the switch in the keyboard ( Fn + CRT/LCD ) PETER A

Yes. You will attach the VGA to the laptop VGA port then attach the HDMI to one of the TV HDMI ports, make sure both are off then turn the TV on first then , the laptop. Use the projector settings on the laptop etc.

U could use this cord for connecting your laptop to your HDTV if your laptop uses a VGA connection as opposed to an hdmi connection. Your tv will also have to have a VGA connection to. If not I would suggest a VGA to hdmi or an hdmi to hdmi cord. It just depends on which ports your tv and computer have on them already.

I purchased this adapter for a laptop that has a micro HDMI output on it. If your laptop has a micro HDMI connector on it, then this adapter will work. If you have a VGA port only on your laptop, this adapter will not work. There are VGA to HDMI adapters available on Amazon.

Yes, my wife uses it for her laptop with the extra monitor. There is a VGA plug on it.

You'd need a HDMI to VGA from laptop to this unit, then a VGA to VGA to the desktop. Make sure each end is correct male or female.

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

Yes, you can connect this from a laptop with an HDMI video port to an TV with RCA A/V inputs. However, please know that this is not a very high quality converter. The best usage would be to display videos and movies as someone else already mentioned that text, such as your computer desktop, will be almost illegible. This will not suffice as a solution to a second computer monitor. Watching movies will be ok and honestly, the smaller the TV screen size that you use, the better the picture will appear.

No, you can only hook it up to a laptop. If you have an HDMI port on both your computer and tv and have an HDMI cable, then you can hook your computer to your tv and this to your computer.

I doubt it. Unless your laptop has a VGA input (most only have an output) it won't work. Usually the VGA port on a laptop is to project the screen onto a projector or to connect to a larger screen and does not accept a signal from, say, a VCR.

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

A number of HDTV's have VGA ports, Just a little extra room in your laptop bag for a VGA cable. You would also need an audio cable to go from laptop to TV. HDMI can carry Audio & Video.

In some instances, yes. For example, it would work IF your laptop has an HDMI OUTPUT, AND your TV has an HDMI INPUT. Or, if your laptop doesn't have an HDMI output, but does have a USB connector, and the TV does have an HDMI input, then you could get a 'USB to HDMI adapter', and then use this cable. I got a 'Sabrent' adapter to use like that, and that works fine.

You can, but you should be sure that the port on your laptop is a video OUT and not video IN. Check your manufacturer specs to be sure.

I doubt it. I returned this item since it did not work for me. I was trying to push HDMI from a laptop to different displays (tried a Monitor, my TV, and a projector) and it failed to recognize the VGA ports. I believe this was mislabeled and is a VGA to HDMI cable, not the other way around.

MANUFACTURER: No. It doesn't work for a TV HDMI port. HDMI2VGAD adapter is for connecting to a HDMI port of computer. It doesn't work in opposite way.
