Please make sure that your LED TV has a VGA port and the cable will work just fine.

I used mine connected to a small TV in my kitchen. I don't know about a computer monitor.

As long as you have an aux output from your TV you should have no issues using this with anything... I have a friend who also bought one and uses it as a computer monitor. Easy install.

It connects using the basic red/white/yellow component cables. I have it connected to my LCD HDTV that way. If you only have HDMI ports on your TV, you'll have to see if an adapter exists.

I have done that, but my monitor is an old Sanyo flat screen television, that my wife bought for $5, at a rummage sale. But, most of the recent monitors can be used as a television, or visa versa, if they are both digital. If Your monitor is digital, I believe it will hook up. The main thing is 'digital' to digital, and the equal connections. I am not a pro at this stuff, but will share my experience's if I can. Mason!!

My monitor is HD ready and it was working fine, I think it should work with the LED, otherwise what is the use of the HDMI connection.

It connects to the television via the AV jacks. As long as your tv has the video input (yellow) it should work fine.

It will only work if you have an RCA type connection or an adapter of some sort, most monitors have these, but few computers do

We use a TV as a monitor. Don't know what kind of connectors, however. Sorry.

I am pretty sure they make this model for desktops as well. It is basically a plug and play for laptops, but I don't know if connections are the same. Sorry I can't be more help.

It works great, I have an older tv in my motor home. Following the directions I just pluged in the audio, VGA and the USB into my Dell laptop and ran the 3 RCA connectors to the tv. Your VGA output froom your PC should not need anything eles.

In short: Yes, this is what I use it for. This is of course only true provided that everything is configured and connected properly. You first need to make sure that: 1. your computer has the S-Video port and 2. your TV has the yellow RCA port (often there are three round connectors yellow (video), red and white (sound) side by side) In many cases the computer will automatically detect the TV if it is connected before starting the computer. If it does, it should clone the screen on the TV without the need for you to do anything. Of course, make sure you are on the right channel of the TV. To get everything working nicely: -on the computer side: you might need to adjust the screen resolution depending on the exact setup (if the picture is "too big" for the TV). -on the TV side: you might want to tune the brightness and contrast. One last detail, this cable is designed for video. The picture should be fine when watching a movie, however if you display text on the screen, you might find it a little less than super crisp.

No, it will not. You must have an 'active adapter' that converts the digital signal (i.e. DVI) from your adapter to analog (i.e. VGA) into your monitor. I purchased the StarTech.com DVI2VGAE 1920x1200 DVI-D to VGA Active Adapter Converter Cable from Amazon to do what you're describing.

This device is simply a DA or Distribution Amplifier meaning it take a single input and sends the signal to 4 different devices. If your computer has a VGA output AND your TV has a VGA input then this would work. Please note: It's not converting anything.

Yes, it worked for me, I am a pc tech it worked find was first time I tried it....wasn't sure at first, but I understood that you can convert desktop to work with other screen..so I gave it a try...the way it started with me I brought the wrong screen, coukd not return it so I brought the converter ...

If you have the VGA connection on your TV it will work. It probably would be best to compare the computer VGA connection to the TV connection because they would have to be the same for the cable to work.

I really would not know the exact specs. I have a monitor which has a DVI port. I plugged this into that DVI port and then connected a HDMI cable to the other end of the connector. That cable ran to a HDMI port in my Lenovo computer. I would say that if you are connecting a computer with a DVI port to a tv that has a HDMI port it would work. I have a laptop that I hooked up to my TV with the old 9 pin VGA cable and it worked fine although I had to hook up audio jacks between the laptop and TV as well. So if you are trying to send video signal out from a DVI port to a HDMI port I would say it would work just fine. That is basically what I am doing.
