Can I hook HDMI from desktop to VGA flat screen monitor?

No, this is a display port cable. If you have a DP port on your desktop, then yes you can, but if you only have HDMI then this will not help you. Cable is of poor quality anyways, build quality and technical, being that it goes from digital output to an analog input. It's a specialty thing that you only get if you are in a bind and HAVE to do it this way. Look for an HDMI to VGA cable.

The monitor is a "slave" to your desktop/laptop and does have an hdmi port. If your desktop/laptop supports hdmi format you're ready to "plug & play" with this monitor.

If you want hdmi, yes you'll need a card that supplies that output. If you don't have hdmi or dvi outputs on your computer, you can still use the hdmi port on the monitor by purchasing an inexpensive VGA to HDMI adapter that will allow you to use the port, but with a lack of resolution. You can also get an adapter that will change you vga to DTI if you want to use that. The monitor comes with all 3 inputs; dvi, hdmi, vga.

The monitor does come with VGA cables. Simply plug in the connectors between the laptop and the monitor and you should be good to go. If the it's a Mac laptop, you will need the appropriate Mac Video connector for displayport (something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Plated-DisplayPort-Adapter/dp/B005H3I38Q/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1382850181&sr=8-2&keywords=displayport+hdmi) and an HDMI cable, and then connect the adapter end into the Mac, and the HDMI cable into the back. Hope this helps!

If your monitor has rca in then yes. If you mean to convert rca to vga, this does the exact opposite (but you probably meant vga to rca)

You can connect this device to your PC HDMI output convert it to VGA output if thats what you want to do.However please check if your graphic card output do support outputting VGA and HDMI signal at the same time.

there is a VGA, DVI and HDMI port in this desktop. I have a monitor with VGA, DVI, and HDMI port. It works good with VGA port, I have not tried DVI port, I tried HDMI port but that did not work.

you don't; vga doesn't carry audio. it's not like hdmi. does your monitor have built-in speakers? if so, then there will be a line-in (aka auxiliary, 3.5mm, 1/8", etc.) input which looks exactly like a headphone jack, except that sound goes into it instead of out of it. in that case, you'll need an rca to 3.5mm cable or adapter. if your monitor doesn't have speakers, then just route your rca cables to your sound system. i hope that helps.

You can hook up any two monitors that have a connection for display port and dvi regardless of resolution. You can even use an adapter to dvi, hdmi, or display port to suit whatever you monitor has inputs for including going back to VGA

I am not quite sure of the question but I will try to help.... The VGA port is the standard port that a monitor would use to connect to. You would not use this to connect a VGA output from a laptop to HDMI. This is the revers of that. This takes HDMI input to VGA output.

Yes, You can connect the HDMI output of your PC to the HDMI input of your TV or projector.It does not have a VGA input. Set VGAIN@1080 FullHD for correct resolutionGood Luck

You can use that, but I have never had much luck with the USB to VGA adapters. you may want to try to use something like this:StarTech DVI to VGA Cable Adapter, M/F (DVIVGAMF)

No, to connect a monitor you would use a 15 pin VGA cable, or a DVI cable, or an HDMI cable.

you can hook up your laptop only if you have enough resolution and you will need vga cable something like this Belkin Premium Gold Male-to-Female VGA Monitor Extension Cable (10 Feet)

This desktop has a vga and a hdmi port. Since both are on an integrated video card I believed it will not run dual monitors its and either or situation

Haven't tried that, but as DVI-D is pure digital and VGA is pure analog you might need a converter as well. If my computer only had VGA I would consider getting a new one. Dell has decent desktop PCs for $400 or so.

no you would still need a convertor to convert the analog vga signal to the hdmi digital signal, this cable cannot do it alone without a convertor or a very limited type of vga card that converts it for you
