No, this won't work for you (the ports are reversed from what you want: your laptop must have an HDMI port, and your monitor must have VGA port).

I believe it goes the opposite direction--from a newer laptop with HDMI to an older projector with VGA. at least, that's the only way I've used it.

Not sure...I never tried it this way. You need to make sure that the adaptor you use for your type connection is described as a vga out from the pc and hdmi in to the monitor.

You are looking for something else. This is designed for the exact opposite configuration.

You need the convertor adaptor to do so.....I done it before for HDMI, but never try VGA.

It should work with a VGA to HDMI, but it will not work HDMI to VGA. I only tested the latter. I hope that helps.

it is FROM HDMI -> TO VGA - not from VGA to HDMI (different cable)You can connect HDMI port on your laptop to VGA monitor but not the other way . Hope this helps

Yes! It has the "old fashioned" VGA port. This is compatible with most of the budget-priced Acer monitors you can buy. An HDMI USB port is located directly below the video port. If you wish to use your HDMI monitor, you can connect it to a HDMI to micro HDMI adapter. At any rate, this is not a super powerful computer when it comes to intense graphics usage. But, yes you can use the original VGA connector (if that is what you have). Best wishes and good luck.

My documentation shows that it only have a VGA and DVI input, if you have a HDMI to DVI adapter or cable you can try that way.

The one I received has a built-in VGA port. You would need a low-profile video card for HDMI.

Hello, Good question but there is no VGA port. I imagine you are trying to connect a monitor to the laptop. I went to TIGER DIRECT and purchased a HDMI (laptop port) to a DIN (monitor port), and this was successful. Hope this helps!

I believe what you need is an HDMI Cable and you can use it only if your computer has an HDMI port.

Yes it dose you need a HDMI in on your TV or Monitor also you can connect it thru VGA cable to your computer monitor

Mine worked great to convert my computer VGA to the TV HDMI . I don't think it works the other way

Yes will go into standard VGA - no USB or HDMI output which is a downside for some.

please help. i have a laptop with an hdmi port and i want to be able to connect it to a vga projector. shouldn't this cable be able to do it? i can't get it to work.

This cable would work with your computer. As you mentioned the HDMI output from your computer will terminate in a displayport input on your monitor.

Not sure if your computer comes with a serial port or hdmi. Mine has hdmi, so I bought an hdmi cable (best option). The serial connector is included.
