this will not work. they do make adaptors to go from hdmi to the red, white and yellow cables and then you will probably need to find an adaptor to go from that to the cable push in. you may not be able to get it threaded, so you could screw it in

Hey Matt, this converter will NOT work for your needs as it only converts HDMI to VGA and not the other way around like in your case. Instead look for a VGA to HDMI converter

doesn't an VGA to HDMI plug work on this? I just ordered one, and people have said that it works, unless I have it the other way around. I'm used to the big tv's with VGA and it seems companies have stopped making VGA ports on tv's. Don't know if I need a male or female adapter now, they do have both available.

Can you please explain this? I have been using a tv from 1995 and use a co-axial cable to hook it up. I am not familiar with HDMI cable, so if this is the only type that plugs into the tv, how can I hook the other end up to my cable box and DVD player? The cable box is newer so may be compatible, but the DVD player is fairly old as well. I don't want to buy a tv that I can't use my DVD player with. Thank you!

I just stumbled upon this post while searching unsuccessfully for just such an adapter. Can you possibly tell me where you were able to find this adapter online? THANK YOU!

Here's another question for you Ron? My older TV does not have hdmi inputs. But a good friend, who's an electronics engineer, said I should use a cable converter that inputs HDMI (from the DVD player) and outputs component (into the HD component on the TV). Does that seem right?

Im not sure. I wanted to use the cable to hook my laptop (with vga plug) to my tv with an hdmi plug. I want to use my tv as a projector. I cant get it to work with this cable. Although the description says vga to hdmi.

I wondered the same thing. It took me a month to figure out- and then believe it's really that simple- that YES, I can simply connect my high-end laptop to my mid-range flat screen TV, by HDMI to HDMI ports on each device, and stream anything I could get on my laptop, directly onto my flatscreen TV... But, why on earth WOULD I WANT TO? YES- You CAN do it, but why bother? If you do use your PC as a live stream (to TV) device, then every time you want to watch live-stream TV (vs. cable TV), you have to remove your laptop from it's current location (ie, maybe you were using it earlier,

This adapter coverts a HDMI signal to VGA, so your computer must have an HDMI output.It DOES NOT convert computer VGA output to HDMI input for your TV.

I accidentally bought an HDMI to DVI cable, but I really need to connect my laptop to my HDTV's HDMI port. Is there a 10' cable that Amazon sells to do this.

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.

The intent is to send a wireless message on your Laptop to the receiver (the larger photo) and that is hard wired to your TV, which has a soft switch for a choice between inputs. I sent it back. My recollection is (maybe wrong) but the socket is not HDMI on the receiver, but regardless I could not make it work. Another gadget will connect your laptop HDMI to your TV HDMI but (for me) that is a 20 foot cable across the floor and I do not want that, Good luck. If you find a solution please write again.

Hi Rosanna!Thank you for your inquiry!I have confirmed with our technology team for this item and the only adapter this needs is a HDMI.AisteBisonOffice

No, you would have to buy the other one with the output being RCA and the input being hdmi. You would use this adapter for hooking up a hdmi only device to an older TV with no hdmi.

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.

Not without modifications. This unit has the old VGA plug from the monitor and into the computer. You would either need a VGA to HDMI adapter, or a different interface unit. I'm sure I saw them for HDMI. I had to really look to find this unit with the old style plug.

I have looked into this before. To hook it up to your TV all you need are the AV cables (red, yellow, white) and the A/V connectoions on the back of TV. As far as hooking it up to the laptop I have been unable to find a way to make that happen. Employees at Fry's Electronics (and I asked oh, probably 7 or 8) all said that it cannot be done (or rather that they were unaware of a way that it could be one). I have been unable to make this happen as of yet. I was looking into trying one of the set of transmitter/relievers they sell on amazon for the drone copters that transmit A/V. I Think they are called Bosco or Fat Shark is the name brand. I'm sure there is a way to make that happen but so far have not found it.
