I have the new micro 1080 dlp Brookstone projector. The ports on the projector only allow for hdmi and no VGA.

It is used for connect laptop(HDMI) output to VGA input(projector). In your case, you should find VGA input to HDMI output.

To the best of my knowledge, this would not work. It's designed to work exactly in the opposite way. Sorry.

Some newer video cards have a MiniDisplay as an output option but not all are the same so it could work fine in theory but could also not. I would stay away if using a PC however. These displays are beautiful but not really worth the price/potential hassle for use with a PC.

I have used this adapter only for video data - to display what was on my computer screen on the projection screen. There was no audio data included in my projection. That said, I would check all the usual suspects - are all the cables secure? - are the speakers connected? - are the speakers on? - is the sound card ok? Is the mini HDMI-HDMI converter ok? After checking that all the mechanical pieces are right, I'd reboot everything and try again. I hope this helps. Best regards, TNF

Not in the projector itself but you can hook up a blue ray player to it. No one makes a solid state blue ray projector as yet. The 1080 Res is spectacular.

Mine came with a cable having VGA (yellow, red & white) RCA plugs on both ends, for connecting a DVD, BD, DVR, etc. to this projector. If your laptop also has these type jacks (which is very unlikely), you could use the included cable otherwise you need to come up with an adaptor or buy a different type of cable like VGA/RCA to USB, USB to USB, serial cable or HDMI. My laptop has an HDMI port and this projector accepts HDMI so I opted to go with an HDMI cable. It's simple to hook up and you can get a six foot HDMI cable on Amazon.com for less than $6 with free shipping.

I use this card with a DVI connection but the card does have an HDMI output on the back of it. Having checked the box specs, it matches the specific product information on this card is at http://www.evga.com/products/Specs/GPU.aspx?pn=da9cfd1c-4a26-4dfe-8ea4-60bfee692152 Neither of them specify HDMI 2.0 because I don't think it had been finalized yet. The product specification does state that it supports 4k resolution. So the answer is, this card will interface with HDMI 2.0 screens, but you may not get the full bandwidth from the HDMI 2.0 spec because we don't really know if this card was made when HDMI 1.4 was the current spec or if the output of its HDMI port really supports HDMI 2.0. Further information available from the HDMI 2.0 spec is at http://www.cnet.com/news/hdmi-2-0-what-you-need-to-know/ I'm sorry I can't be of more help but there just isn't specific information available and I don't have a 4k resolution screen with HDMI to confirm.

Has anyone tried something like this (click me)? I don't have this projector yet, considering purchasing, but I do own a scan converter of the type in the link, and have gotten better than satisfactory results hooking up VGA out of my Dell XPS1640 to RCA inputs on other projectors and on TVs.

anybody? nobody knows? What I am planning is to use my ps3 to play a 3d bluray bypass the signal through my denon avr receiver with PURE DIRECT AND let the hdmi cable connect to the projector. I know that it might not work otherwise there would not be any use for the 3D XL adapter that is coming in january. I would like to know if it will work this other way. A pc with all harware and software required for 3d bluray playback, then send the signal to my receiver with PURE DIRECT to get the audio and then send the signal through hdmi to mi projector. Will this setting work? I'm planning on buying the nvidia 3d vison kit. I would REALLY appreciate any input.

It took me time to understand the right setting for projector. You should choose in the menu the 'dlp ink' settings. Our projector is hd25 lv

Yes. DLP Link works out of the box without any emitters. http://www.dlp.com/projector/dlp-innovations/dlp-link.aspx

My projector does not support 1080p, so I don't know. The specs on the box show:Frame packing: 1920X1080p @23.98/24HzTop and Bottom: 1920X1080p @23.98/24HzBut I have no clue what they mean. There are also some 1280X720p specs at 59.94/60Hz It's handled all of the devices and resolutions that I've thrown at it with a computer, Roku, WDTV, and Samsung Blu-ray player with no noticeable degradation in image quality. I bought it initially because my receiver had no HDMI input and most of my recent devices have all been HDMI.Hope this helps.

Yes, via HDMI. There is no VGA port. They pretty much don't exist on laptops anymore. Just get a HDMI to VGA converter if your projector/monitor doesn't have HDMI. $9.99 from Amazon Prime.

As long as the device in question has the feature set enabled by the manufacturer, HDMI video and sound output are possible from a Displayport. I confirmed this with Sapphire Customer Service about an ATI based 5570 video card I purchased with the Displayport. I like the flexibility of options DP gives. It can do everything HDMI can do, and more. It allows for much longer cable runs without degradation of signal, and it also allows you to hook the single cable to multiple monitors for a variety of configurations. You used to be limited to dual ports on most cards. 2xDVI is usually the standard, but with DP, you can hook up more than that using the single cable. For these reasons, I disagree with SH when he refers to Dell's decision to utilize the DP crap. Honestly, any technology is superior that can perform the same tasks as it's competition -in addition to it's own feature set.

Hi Wade There's no HDMI connector to accept an HDMI cable on the back of the board. There is an HDMI_SPDIF header on the board itself. This from the Manual: The 2-pin HDMI_SPDIF header provides SPDIF audio output to an HDMI VGA card, allowing the system to connect HDMI Digital TV/projector/LCD devices. Please connect the HDMI_SPDIF connector of HDMI VGA card to this header. If possible, I would advise you to purchase the Extreme4 or better board. It performs well, however it lacks a few features that hinder its performance, especially should you want to overclock your RAM. Go for the slightly more costly board if you can afford it. Lloyd

I plugged it into my Dell Laptop using the supplied cable (this means yes to VGA) - no problem at all, great, bright display. That's what I wanted, I never counted the other ports, suggest you read the specs.

There is a VGA port It depends on the type of connector the LCD projector has
