Does the 1000HE support TV-out? Does anyone know whether TV out through the VGA port is supported? I know the chipset supports it, but I don't know whether Asus has enabled this functionality. If it is enabled, then a simple adapter to s-video or composite will enable hookup to a TV. If not, then a more costly converter box would be required (or a VGA port on the TV). One of the functions I need is the ability to hook it up to a TV in places like motels. Most motel TVs do not have VGA ports. Does the 1000HE support TV-out?

As mentioned in my post from February, a simple VGA to RCA adapter will not work. You need a converter that costs about $30 such as product 4724 from mono price. It's also here at Amazon: Sabrent PC to TV Converter BoxFor about $8 more but free shipping.

OK; now I'm understanding why I was confused. My TV has a VGA input, so the the composite cable was not a concern for me.

Screws (or lack thereof) shouldn't make any difference as long as the pins connect properly. Did you change the netbook settings to output to the VGA port? I believe one of the blue function buttons lets you easily change between netbook screen only, VGA port only, or both. The only other thing you should have to do is select the proper source on the TV.

I bought an Asus 1000HE earlier in the year. Love it! Just bought a 26 inch Panasonic Viera TV. There is a VGA input on the TV. I found a VGA cable, both sides have the dual screw head, and tried to do a simple connection from Asus to Viera. Didn't work. Do I need another cable? One without screws on one side. Thank you.

Yes, I have a new asus 1000 HE and would like to hook up my netbook up to my old TV. It only has RCA on the TV. My netbook has Intel 945 video card in it. Will the VGA to RCA work in hooking up my computer to my TV?

VGA is analog. HDMI is digital. So, no. You would need a converter between.

Please visit Dell website for owner's manual.HDMI input, I doubt it, don't think I've ever seen it.HDMI output, I tried it but it will NOT support my hi res monitors and was a huge disappointment HOWEVER the NVIDIA graphics card video outputs work GREAT! Much higher capacity than the HDMI (which was built into the motherboard).

it does but it doesn't work it switches to hdmi output and won't come out i have 3 of these monitors and i have contacted asus they know of the problem and state that is how the monitor works. the picture is great but only 60 herts or fps and the bezel is perfect for a multi monitor setup. you can get a simple device from plantronics that switches from head set to a stereo system any time in game or watching youtube i would choose this option because the monitor isnt very load ... i own many asus products and audio is not there strongest attribute but i do love my monitors buy three and thank me later it does but it doesn't work it switches to hdmi output and won't come out i have 3 of these monitors and i have contacted asus they know of the problem and state that is how the monitor works. the picture is great but only 60 herts or fps and the bezel is perfect for a multi monitor setup. you can get a simple device from plantronics that switches from head set to a stereo system any time in game or watching youtube i would choose this option because the monitor isnt very load ... i own many asus products and audio is not there strongest attribute but i do love my monitors buy three and... » Read More it does but it doesn't work it switches to hdmi output and won't come out i have 3 of these monitors and i have contacted asus they know of the problem and state that is how the monitor works. the picture is great but only 60 herts or fps and the bezel is perfect for a multi monitor setup. you can get a simple device from plantronics that switches from head set to a stereo system any time in game or watching youtube i would choose this option because the monitor isnt very load ... i own many asus products and audio is not there strongest attribute but i do love my monitors buy three and thank me later « Show Less

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

I am currently using S-Video to connect my pc to this plasma. While this works, the picture could be better. Text is pretty blurry. I would love to find a way to hook up with a component cable. I have a NVIDIA GeForce 6150 LE card in my computer with VGA and S-Video output. Any suggestions? Please help!

While all of my current systems (4 laptops) have both VGA and either DVI or HDMI connections (the key reason I purchased this specific switch), I've had some success with different interface converters. The HDMI computer uses a HDMI-DVI adapter cable, and I've used DVI-VGA before with a dual VGA KVM that preceeded this unit. However, you'll need to do careful research on selecting a DVI-VGA converter and on your monitor's DVI signal capability before going this route. Most of the DVI-VGA adapters are converting from DVI-A to VGA, not from DVI-D; DVI-D is the standard output for most DVI ports. Most monitors also only accept the DVI-D input. In order to convert from DVI-D to VGA you'll need to insure that your converter can produce the high-frequency VGA signal required to drive a full HD VGA display. Most do not reach full HD bandwidth, leaving one monitor with a lower-res screen. In my case, using Lenivo T-420 laptops on two of the input pairs, the Lenovo docking platform provides a stable HD VGA output as well as DVI-D ports. This is how I connect both DVI and VGA ports on the KVM. As I said earlier, my choice of this KVM was dictated by the ubiquity of a stable HD VGA port being available on all systems, and DVI-D conversion from HDMI being the only other problem I had to address. The KVM will support DVI-A through-links...if your monitors support DVI-A or you can use a DVI-A to VGA connection, you might look at a switch that is dual DVI (A+D) and just pass the VGA through on the -A pins of the DVI port.

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.

It didn't work for me. No signal at all. I have since found out that you need a analog to digital converter to convert the VGA (analog) signal to the HDMI (digital)signal. I may be explaining this wrong, but something like this. Regardless, i had to order a totally different cable with a converter. This cable did nothing for me.

Hello L. RobinsonBase on your question. I truly cannot answer it because; you have not provided enough information about your laptop, e.g. model or a given scenario on how you going to apply this device e.g. docking station or port replicator, if applicable. Second, upgrading a video card on a laptop is unlikely or unheard of to my knowledge; based on your question. Finally, this product, which you are inquiring about gets connected to a USB port and not a VGA port; based on your question.

Be sure your old computer has an HDMI output (if so it is likely the graphics card will provide a signal suitable for HDTV). Obviously, the TV needs to have a VGA-type input. This unit does not allow a VGA output from a computer to do an HDMI input into a TV. (Which is what I suspect you are looking for).

As it happens, Janice... ...My Amazon review of this TV happens to be titled "A Great Computer Display (That's Also A Top TV)" (!)...BUT......That usage is absolutely dependent on it being correctly cabled from the computer in question.The easiest and best connection is via HDMI, as on the latest Macs.Failing that, the display outputs of older systems will require external converter "active dongles" from those display ports to HDMI or (less conveniently) to the 3 RCA sockets of the "Component AV In" sockets on the TV's back panel.Either option will result in a good quality graphics display, with the HDMI inputs being by far the better option as they truly yield "state of the art" resolution.

I have used this to go from laptop or desktop (windows OS) VGA port on the pc [that has a video card which supports digital output] to an HDMI input port on Televisions, to get video only. I had to use a separate Y audio cable to get sound from the pc to the TV. Using the projector setting on your pc you will see it on the TV, just check the TV for input, my Mother has DynxxTV and sets it to VGA input, my friend he has to put it on HDMI2 another says their TV has a PC input, so check your TV or Monitor manual.

M., I just spoke to ASUS and they do NOT recommend an upgrade to the 1000he. They will not get into Mhz that I can use, just simply state "The 1000he comes with 1GB 667Mhz. We do not recommend you upgrade to 2GB or change the Mhz. ANY upgrades to the system will void it's warrenty."Can you give me any argument on this?

I'm afraid I am also stumped getting a signal to the TV. Currently I'm settling for VGA and audio to the high definition TV. The definition on more recent videos is quite good with this hookup. From the information from my graphics card coupled with the TV manual, the hookup is not simple. Sorry.

From the testing I have done, that will not work because these are built to go the other way. You can use your TV as a large monitor for your laptop (or desktop) because they output digital video (VGA). It looks like these were intended to take a digital output from a VGA connector (usually a laptop, desktop, or in some cases a gaming console) to another device that has an S-video input or an RCA input. However, I have tried to go from a laptop to a TV that has S-video and it did not work. These may have been popular back when game consoles were built differently. I too have not found anything this might be good for. From the testing I have done, that will not work because these are built to go the other way.

If your trying to find support for a specific monitor then try looking for a motherboard that supports vga. Asus, Msi, Asrock and many more.

Won't work. Turns hdmi output to VGA. Unless cpu has hdmi output and tv has VGA input.
