Could I use VGA output on windows computer to a tv with yellow video input? I only need to mirror my laptop screen with Google docs.

i was trying the same thing for my older big screen tv. i had hoped that this would do just that, or via the component inputs, but no it would not work on either. a cheap try. i found something else though for about 15 bucks and it worked, although detail suffers.....hard to read but ok for movies if you dont mind low resolution. there are other versions a bit more expensive that may work better.

no. This is a component output with red, green and blue so you would need to use the component input to the tv and that should work. Good luck, JK

No. This cable only works one way. You can send a component input (from a dvd player, etc) to a VGA input (a monitor or projector). I tried it the other way, just to see if it would work, but it doesn't.

Try one of these "Sabrent PC to TV Converter Box" it will work, there are very many details in a project like you described in your question. But generally the Sabrent box will get it done. Cant answer whether just any laptop can do it. Some can and some cant. The best way to do it is with a TV that has a VGA Port. The presentation will look as good as it does on the PC, only somewhat larger, of course.

I am not quite sure of the question but I will try to help.... The VGA port is the standard port that a monitor would use to connect to. You would not use this to connect a VGA output from a laptop to HDMI. This is the revers of that. This takes HDMI input to VGA output.

No, There is no VGA, or DVI connectors on this TV. If you computer has a HDMI graphics card you could send it to the screen on 2nd HDMI source.

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.

Im not excatly sure what your asking, but the computer has no idea that this thing is in use. it will just split whatever the vga output is. We have this hooked up the vga output of a laptop that goes to a 22" moniter and 2- 60" TVs. They all show the same picture. Hope this helps. Patrick

No vga port but if your pc has an hdmi port I'd highly recommend using a hdmi rather than a vga connection. Hdmi is as good as a vga connection

I don't think so as a VGA, however you can connect your PC, I'm not the best person to ask, as I'm not to Tech smart, learning, but not there yet. Sorry, I couldn't be of more help to you. I can tell you it's a great TV. Good Luck.

Haven't tried that, but as DVI-D is pure digital and VGA is pure analog you might need a converter as well. If my computer only had VGA I would consider getting a new one. Dell has decent desktop PCs for $400 or so.

At our school we found this product to be completely ineffectual in all possible configurations. We tried hdmi out -&gt; 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!

As someone else mentioned, use a VGA cable. Very easy to find, and not very expensive. Amazon has them.

I tried rca to vga and it did not work. I didnt bother to send it back. Figured it was worthless!

You do have to install a driver, but the fact that you can't currently use VGA doesn't mean that you wouldn't be able to install a driver. I also have Windows Vista 32 bit and discovered after my laptop warranty expired that my VGA output wouldn't display well to TV, but the Sabrent worked fine to display to TV after installing their driver.

the box uses a VGA Output, not sure if you can you a laptop, as its an output not an input, you might need a monitor for a VGA input

I agree with what ReynerN said in response to your question; so long as you have a DVI output from your desktop, VGA is cake.
