No. This cable is useless - you have to have an interface adapter to mate VGA to HDMI.

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.

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, it will not. This is a USB to serial connector. Although serial and VGA look similar, they are completely different connectors.

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.

Not by itself, no, because your laptop (most likely) has a female VGA port, and this converter is female VGA to male HDMI; you would need either a male VGA to male HDMI converter or male-to-male VGA to connect between your laptop and the converter in question. I know that you can definitely down-convert, as I use this converter quite regularly to output an HDMI (high-def digital) signal from my laptop into an analog, low-def signal VGA input in a projector for presentations, but I'm not sure you can do the reverse, or if such cables exist. Best of luck...

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

Mine worked great to convert my computer VGA to the TV HDMI . I don't think it works the other way

This will work for converting DVI to VGA. The only way it won't work is if the signal is DVI-D which in that case you'll need an active converter. You can tell by looking at the flat part on the DVI connector and see if it has 2 pins above and below it, and if it does it is not DVI-D so it should work. Picture of pin layouts - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Visual_Interface#mediaviewer/File:DVI_Connector_Types.svg Active converter if you have DVI-D - http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-DVI2VGAE-1920x1200-Adapter-Converter/dp/B00C93JQXS/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1424584645&sr=1-4&keywords=dvi-d+to+vga

Probably not. This converter is for changing an HDMI signal into a VGA signal. Not the other way around. If your PC/Laptop has HDMI out, just use an HDMI cable. If your computer has VGA out, just buy a VGA to HDMI cable.

Yes. It takes VGA input (which most older laptops have) and HDMI input (which most newer laptops have). If you use VGA cable to connect, then you also need to use headphone type audio cable to connect from laptop headphone (or separate audio out jack) to the TV audio in jack.

Yes as long as you have the vga cord that goes into the laptop to a monitor it will work

This product did not work for me to go from VGA to HDMI. I believe this product goes the other way (HDMI to VGA). Additionally, the VGA connection you need, needs to be a male connection to connect to the female port on your computer. This is the product that worked for me. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EV6AARC/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

No you need a VGA to HDMI converter http://www.amazon.com/SANOXY%C2%AE-Black-Adapter-Converter-Laptop/dp/B007KFVQXI

It worked perfectly for me. Previously I was going from VGA on the laptop to VGA on the monitor. With this cable I could use the HDMI on the laptop to the DVI on the monitor. Didn't have to change a thing. Plug and play.

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).

No. This adapter is for connecting a laptop that has an HDMI (output) port to a regular monitor that has a VGA (input) port.
