I want to use old Viewsonic VGA monitor as a TV monitor with a digital to analog TV converter (has HDMI output) &amp; rabbit ears. Will this work?

It should. It plugs into the HDMI output of the TV converter and then you plug in a vga cable between this and the Viewsonic VGA monitor, so if you don't have a vga cable you'll need to get one.

I have both HDMI and VGA connections on my HDTV, but the VGA didn't work until I bought a VGA/HDMI converter box. They're not expensive (mine was $10) I have an older Dell tower that's been refurbished but didn't have the HDMI connection, so the converter box was an inexpensive way to go.

You need a different product for that. This one can convert an RCA signal to VGA. You need one to convert VGA to RCA.

Your VGA monitor will work but sound will need to be hooked up to another audio device to listen to. I use an RCA to 1/8" stereo adapter to run the audio to my line input on my PC and use the PC speakers. So you would use the white and red from your receiver for audio and the yellow RCA is your video to the converter.

Don't buy it. I did and it doesn't work. I then knew that it can never work because VGA is an analog sign and HDMI is digital so it is required a converter. I don't know why it is allowed to sell it. Save your money and try something like chromecast.

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.

Yes this antenna will still work great,but with an analog TV you need the converter box,I recommend you buy it from Amazon because they sell them for 32 dollars and Walmart sells them for 50 bucks. i didn't know that,so i bought one at wall mart for our tv in the bedroom. If you have a HD flat screen digital TV you don;t need the box.

Yes, you can, I was very pleased, none of the stores had this or knew how to do it, but it makes the connection and works with older vga devices, when you have the newer HDMI ports. Very pleased. Jim Moore

Yes you can; this adaptor is made specifically to convert the digital signal from a Mac equipped with either a Thunderbolt or Minidisplay Port to an Analog television standard. This adaptor will work on older televisions in any country where the televisions were once manufactured according to PAL or NTSC standards (United States, Europe, Japan, etc). Most modern digital televisions are also backwards compatible with the Analog standards so this adaptor works well with many newer televisions as well.

Have to get a conversion box I believe. This part didn't work how I had hoped. Think I bought a vga to rca converter . If not does just a vga to vga work

I've gone thru with http://www.ramelectronics.com/ and talked to one of their lead tech support. He said "unless I have an adapter ( which is around $300) for the signal scaling from pc to tv", a simple converter will not work. They also sell vga to hdmi cables.

If your VGA input is really Component (Y - Pr - Pb) use it instead of the inferior "S" cable.If you have HDMI use it as it is the best input of all. Remember if you feed this superior TV garbage that's what your going to see. Good luck

Not sure what model projector I have (not at home), but this worked perfectly with mine. Keep in mind that this is converting an analog signal into a digital one, so there will be some minor quality degradation but all in all it works in converting VGA to HDMI (no sound of course).

Hey Matt, this converter will NOT work for your needs as it only converts HDMI to VGA and not the other way around like in your case. Instead look for a VGA to HDMI converter

Actually no. This doesn't work at all. One end is analog (DVI) and the other is digital (HDMI) this will not work without a converter. So buy it if you want to waste your money.

I'm not sure if this monitor will accept a DVI signal, but I kind of doubt it. DVI is digital and VGA is analog. You can buy a DVI to VGA adapter or a DVI to VGA signal converter relatively inexpensively. The adapter just transfers the digital signal into the VGA cable. The converter actually converts the digital signal to analog. You can try both, but my guess is that the only one that will work is the actual converter and not the adapter. Adapters runs about $6 and converters run anywhere from $19 to $35.

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.
