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.

The cord is the converter, it has a VGA hook up on one end and an hdmi on the other. It should work for that application.

It has a mini-HDMI output, but you have to get a converter box or board to convert the HDMI signal to something that will go into an input on your computer.

Yes you will need a cable card to make this work. If you are just wanting TV on your computer there are several other options to look at including http://www.hauppauge.com/. Hope that helps.

Try one of these "Sabrent PC to TV Converter Box" it will work, there are very many details in a project like you described in your question. But generally the Sabrent box will get it done. Cant answer whether just any laptop can do it. Some can and some cant. The best way to do it is with a TV that has a VGA Port. The presentation will look as good as it does on the PC, only somewhat larger, of course.

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 don't need a converter box as long as the TV's you are hooking up to are digital ready or HD TV's and to your seconded question I'm not sure what convertor is the best I never had to use one hope this helped.

The computer has a VGA and DVI output. So if your Tv has a VGA input run a VGA cable from the back of the Tv to the computer or do what I did and buy a DVI to HDMI cable if your Tv has HDMI input on it.

This converter is made to connect an HDMI output on a computer to a VGA input on a monitor (or tv). That is why it isn't working for you.

I am not sure what an EDTV is? You can use this device to connect a PC to a TV. Typically, if the TV has a VGA input it should have a HDMI input. I wouldn't recommend converter to analog unless you have to.

Yes, you get all the cables you need to plug in and use. Be aware that there is a power cable that plugs into the converter unit which in turn is plugged to the monitor. Another ((VGA) cable plugs into the computer from the Monitor. There is a third cable which you may not need, depending on your computer (most likely not applicable to your laptop.) Just save it; don't discard it. You can tell which cable plugs your computer to the monitor by looking at the plug at the end of the cable to see if the male part matches the female part. If you have a webcam that sits on top of the monitor you need to adjust the webcam to the thin monitor (as opposed to the monstrous CRT monitors of old.)Enjoy!

If it is a newer model TV you do not need a converter box, it should be built in the tv, just hook up your antenna. I get about 35 channels with the antenna, an the picture is 100% better than with bright house cable and I don't have to pay outrageous prices for cable.

You also need a headphone to RCA cable if you want sound to go from computer to converter. From converter to tv you need an hdmi cable. If you are doing w lap top check if lap top has an hdmi out. Most newer ones do. Then all you need is an hdmi cable and this converter is not needed.

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.

I have only used PC's, but I think it must work in your case. Once the signal is in VGA format, this converter turns it into RCA. Just make sure that your TV's RCA video-in plug is working properly.

This comes with VGA to VGA and a single RCA to RCA (male to male). The connection is VGA from your computer to the device then from the device via RCA (female) to your tv (female). You shouldn't need anything else to get started, (assuming you have VGA output on your computer and RCA video input on the tv). It is powered via USB, so you will need to dedicate a USB connection while using it. Audio is not affected, I use the audio from my laptop but you can use speakers through your pc's audio jack.

No well it depends on I there anything wrong with the TV right now the TV has a av cable hook up and a cable wire hook up should work fine so no converter box is needed unless one of them don't work and I don't think you will have a problems with that though anyway if there is something wrong with is and there shouldnt be you can always return it
