Description says is supports acer x1261p projector, but the projector only has a vga in, will a simply hdmi to vga convertor work with this?

Just got the unit. I used it with my Acer k132. HDMI 3D works great. I also used an HDMI to VGA adapter but got nothing. The message on the projector is "signal not supported". I hope that helps.

The unit that I ordered haven't arrived yet. But I do have a HDMI to VGA converter and a VGA/Universal I/O input on my acer K132. I'll test it out and let you know once the unit arrives. It's coming from China, so it may take a while.

It comes with a HDMI to VGA adapter so you can use VGA. I own this pc and all the Windows 8 Acers in this 128GB SSD ultrabook model line come with the adapter.

That one I have not done, but logically it should work. I only know that it did not work when I hooked up my laptop which had both VGA and HDMI to the TV which had HDMI. The only thing I don't know is if the projector is a male or female, because I believe the VGA on the cable is male. That is why I ended up having to buy a HDMI-HDMI cable. I don't even think the new laptops have a VGA anymore.Hope that helps.

Asus are supposed to be releasing a specific mini hdmi to vga adapter; it's been shown off as an accessory but there hasn't been any pricing or release information given as of yet. Until then, there are other cables/adapters that seem to work including one from HP (- it needs a mini hdmi to hdmi adapter in order to use it with the transformer); you may wish to check out this thread on XDA Developers that discusses it in further detail. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1088243Robert

Worked for me on similar resolution monitor, and I have second identical monitor with hdmi input. Only difference is vga adaptor does not support audio (hdmi will) - resolution is identical.

This box converts a VGA signal, such as the video monitor output of a computer, to an HDMI output. As far as I know, it is not meant to go in the reverse direction; you would need to ask the Etekcity folks about that. I am presuming you have a projector with a VGA input but not an HDMI input. It would not surprise me if there are HDMI to VGA converters available, but I have not needed one, so I have not looked for any.

Hi again, you should take a look for VGA - DVI scalers. From there convert the DVI to HDMI. For example, Gefen makes a VGA-DVI Scaler Plus, or Extron makes a RGB-DVI 300(?). The key is to be able to scale the popular 1920x1200 output from your projector to 1920 x 1080.

This is a USB to HDMI adaptor and I have a windows 7 laptop. I am not sure if your laptop has an HDMI port. I bought this device for my projector and laptop use. It works fine for me.

you need to download the projector's driver to your computer, so your laptop can recognize it, I just dont know where to find the driver, i want to know too.

Jamison,I am not a very technical person, but will try to answer your question. This piece is really an adapter that converts you Mini Display Port to HDMI. I also purchased an HDMI to HDMI cable and can stream anything that I can display from my computer to my TV HDMI port. The video and picture both come through to the TV. If your Acer V5-122P has a Mini Display port than this will work for you too!

It will project from a laptop through the VGA input. I will say, non-HDMI inputs aren't crystal clear on this projector, sometimes can be fuzzy. If you have a computer that can output via HDMI (maybe you'd need an adapter of some kind), it would be a lot clearer. That said, I think it's a good projector for the money. But I do see the resolution suffer on non-HDMI 1080p sources.

Not sure what the port next to the VGA is, the manual calls it "High performance Display Adaptor". I don't own any HDMI devices, so can't say for sure, but it does have the same shape & size. But can't plug it in to anything to test it.

At our school we found this product to be completely ineffectual in all possible configurations. We tried hdmi out -> VGA in = nothing. We reversed that. Nothing. The same results with the yellow video line. Check the small print from the seller and you'll find they warn it only works if the devices being connected have built in conversion. Otherwise, nothing. You may need a converter, not just a cable. Rad up on your laptop's hdmi output... Good luck!

I'm sorry, but I have to correct James C. Kenny's answer. It absolutely, positively matters. This adapter, as most others, CAN NOT work VGA --> HDMI. You can find some that will do VGA --> HDMI, but you'll get mixed results. The ones that do work usually have an external power supply attached.

only if your laptop has a very specific vga card, you would actually need a vga to hdmi that has a in line convertor, some people have bought this wire not knowing that it won't work

Possibly in generic VGA mode, and don't expect gaming to work well. Finding drivers for something this old will be a challenge. I'd spend a few extra dollars and get something closer to current technology to ensure drivers are available.
