Will this connect a Gateway computer with a HDMI port to a LCD TV with a basic VGA port? If so, does it support a resolution of 1920 x 1080?

Yes it does; but whether or not you can support 1080p will depend on the TV. If your TV came with 1080p capability then you're all set.

Hello Ben. Your question asks if an HDMI cable can support his resolution. I'm not sure what you mean by "this resolution", but if you mean 2560x1080, yes it does. I plugged in an HDMI cable to the monitor and it automatically set my Windows screen resolution to 2560x1080. Hope that helps.

Well, it's a computer monitor, not a tv screen. So it does support standard definition, but through a standard computer vga or a dvi cable. Not through a standard TV RCA cable or coaxial cable

It should work fine. I have used this device as a second connector to an old monitor that lacked an hdmi input as well as on my computer for dual screen capabilities (1 hdmi port and 1 dvi port, but I only use hdmi cords). I hope this helps.

There is a VGA output which we have connected to a 32 inch HD TV. The extended display works well (laptop screen + external monitor). Haven't tried the HDMI port, but would guess that works as well.

I used a DVI to HDMI cable and I am getting 1080p.If you video card supports it, you will get 1080p.If you use the vga connector, than maybe 720p is the max?

My understanding of VGA is that there is no real limit to the resolution it will support, but VGA is based on an analog signal as opposed to digital; the picture will not be quite as sharp as with a digital cable such as HDMI. I am using VGA cables only with old equipment that has no other kind of connection with good results. Hope this helps.

It should. I was able to configure my old laptop to output to a 32" 1080p TV using its HDMI port. However, the image wasn't quite full HD. Close, but still a tad fuzzy.

Yes, I used this adapter to connect a laptop to a Dell U2711 monitor and got 2560x1440resolution. But first, the HDMI port on the laptop has to support the high bandwidth needed, an older laptop of mine doesn't work. Second, I have to create a custom configuration, the laptop itself doesn't detect the max resolution.

No, HDMI cannot handle resolutions over 1080... You need either DVI or DisplayPort...

The S24C350HL supports standard VGA as well as HDMI inputs. The former has been standard on PC compatible computers for decades. The latter is for high res 1080p display, which I haven't tried. It only comes with a VGA cable.

I believe you can use the connector, but for each screen the max resolution will be 1920x1080

I used one of these to connect an Acer laptop to a Vizio 37 inch TV. It works fine with Windows 7. The Acer has a VGA port on it to use with a VGA monitor plug.I also have a Toshiba laptop with Ubuntu. The background picture and the start bar buttons are visible but nothing else. However, practically no one uses Ubuntu, so it doesn't matter.

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.

Yes. The device is intended to convert an HDMI connection to a VGA monitor.

It only has a VGA connection. So you would need some kind of converter and the quality would be poor.
