it did not work on my Samsung smart tv I will go back to Best Buy and let then recommend HDMI input to VGA

should be no problem. Keep in mind that HDMI does have sound but that VGA does not. The adapter will work fine as long as you are doing regular PC functions -- the sound for a movie, for example, will have to run from the laptop itself. But you can look at email and other PC stuff just fine.

As long as the projector uses the square end of a USB cable. The flat end no doubt will find into the laptop but verify the projector end is the square end. Mine is not. My projector uses USB with the long rectangle end not the square. Just to verify before you buy.

Joseph: I am not to clear on all the technical details you describe. I do can tell you that I used this Startech HDMI2DP device to connect my MS Surface (HDMI out) to display video on my HP monitor (DisplayPort In) and it worked just perfect... with full resolution.

It suspect it can be used both ways. I'm using it to extend -- as a 3rd laptop screen.

It would appear so, it comes up in all searches relative to HP 617450-001" as the needed adapter to convert a laptop's full size Display Port output to a standard, everyday HDMI male to male cable. The description given in the ad is quite clear and accurate as to how this will work as a converter for both Video and audio to HDMI. It is working perfectly fine in my Dell Latitude laptop. Hint / advice: I use a wireless mouse from the couch to control my laptop from across the room. It is used daily and what I see and hear on my laptop is seen and heard on my HDTV. Hope this helps. LB

this screen may work it all comes down to the hook up on the back.i have in the past ordered them with a different letter or number at end and they work fine as long as the cable matches on it.i would suggest though on the HP to get one that is spot on as some time a HP can be fussy about one that does not match the numbers.but before you send it back i would check the plug on the back of the monitor and see if it matches up and also measure corner to corner on it and make sure its the same size if not i would send back and swap for the right one.

This cable converts an HDMI output to a VGA output. That is, it does not add a new video output it merely changes the connector on an existing output. that being said if your are able to plug in an HDMI monitor or HDTV and extend your laptop video (most laptops WILL do this) then this cable will allow you to use a VGA monitor to extend your laptop display. To be sure search for your laptop make and model using Google and add "dual display" to the search string. Something will come up if this is possible.

I would think this would work. It worked on an HP desktop I am using for an extra monitor. Just be sure to install drivers first.

The easiest way would be a simple DVI to VGA adapter if you want to make an extended desktop. You may also look up DisplayPort cables as a second option.

You need a VGA or an HDMI cable to use your laptop with the projector. But the battery of the projector is pretty good so for short presentation you can project it using just the battery.

Depends on which connections you have on your laptop. It looks like that projector only supports VGA, so you will need a VGA cable (Male-Male). If you do not have a VGA connection on your laptop, then you will need an adaptor to convert the signal from either HDMI or displayport to VGA.

Apparently there are two similar screens, the one I had didn't work because it was a HD screen and the laptop was not HD. I am not sure how to determine which is which, but I could not find a screen for the laptop that I was working on. Best to call the supplier to be sure you get the right one if it is available.

It is used for connect laptop(HDMI) output to VGA input(projector). In your case, you should find VGA input to HDMI output.

Your laptop should have an analog vga 9 pin plug or an hdmi port for one monitor. You would only need one of these adapters for the second screen.

As long as the hdmi port on your laptop is an output, which it probably is, then yes. You might want one a bit longer though.

Yes. Use a Standard DVI cable which most new laptops support or you will have to buy a converter.
