I want to connect my chrome book to a TV & watch YouTube on the TV - will it work? The TV connection is VGA 15 pin & the Chrome book has HDMI

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 cord doesn't covert the signal. I was trying to connect an hemi out on a direct tv receiver to a VGA input on a projector and it didn't work for that purpose. It's just not designed to covert the signal. I had to buy a hemi to VGA converter box and it works well! Hope this helps.

I doubt it. I returned this item since it did not work for me. I was trying to push HDMI from a laptop to different displays (tried a Monitor, my TV, and a projector) and it failed to recognize the VGA ports. I believe this was mislabeled and is a VGA to HDMI cable, not the other way around.

Jamison,I am not a very technical person, but will try to answer your question. This piece is really an adapter that converts you Mini Display Port to HDMI. I also purchased an HDMI to HDMI cable and can stream anything that I can display from my computer to my TV HDMI port. The video and picture both come through to the TV. If your Acer V5-122P has a Mini Display port than this will work for you too!

yes it will work, it takes a lit a bit of time to learn to use the switch properly.it switches automatically the tv to the chromecast hdmi port.

Sorry, I can't be absolutely sure about the Apogee HDMI Mini Switcher working with Google Chrome. However if you're using a high speed HDMI cable, I wouldn't know why it wouldn't work. Good luck, Russell H.

It didn't work to connect my hdmi pc to my vga monitor. I had to buy HDMI Input to VGA Adapter Converter For PC Laptop NoteBook HD DVD. Also, it wouldn't work from my old vga pc to a hdmi tv.

If your Google Chrome computer acts like my laptop computer using Google Chrome, the answer is yes. I use the external HDMI output on my laptop, so assuming your computer has the same type of HDMI output (or a mini-HDMI output port) then the answer is yes.

Yes, it will work. I've used this for a client to connect a Chromecast to an older HDTV that did not support 1080P without any issues.

Hi Michelle,I'm not sure I understand your question but the way this device works is that it takes a DVI and audio signals as inputs and outputs a HDMI signal. The chromecast has to plug into your TV's HDMI input and USB input. If you don't have those inputs on your TV the Chromecast won't work.

The 2 Display Ports now do output digital sound to your TV or monitor with speakers via HDMI. When you first fire up our Chromebox it needs to update. You can still surf and use normally. In the background the OS will update for sound if you have the cord for your HDMI TV. Just click on the small box with an arrow pointing up down in the right bottom corner (white rectangle black arrow). The cord is 12 bucks and hope you order at the same time as your chromebox. Should update in less than 30 minutes or less even with a slow connection like mine. The DVI over by the power plug is video only for legacy monitors. If you use a converter to HDMI the sound output will default to the internal speakers. By the way: The video on the Display Ports are 1080 rather than 720 on the chromebooks and speedy enough to run dual monitors if you choose. The cord for audio and video normally comes up when you check out on amazon and sells for 12 bucks. Unfortunately the displayport is not the same as a displayport on apple products. So be sure you get the correct one. Since you are connecting to a home HD TV, get an FAVI mini keyboard/track pad. It's plug and play and rechargeable. Only 17.95 with prime shipping. Add to your cart!

I could not get my Chromecast (using a female/female hdmi adapter) to make the sound work. However, the picture was great on my TV. Did you mean dongle? My Chromecast has a male hdmi connector. The cable has a male hdmi input connector.

I don't think this will work with all computers. I have a 7-yr old Dell with a DVI tmonitor port - even with the DVI to HDMI adapter that came with the computer I'm not getting a signal. Also, so far it is not working with my Acer Chromebook either.

I had some challenges with this device getting it to work properly with my component-only HD TV (NON-HDMI). I had to go through several off-on's to get everything to sync up and still have to do this every once in awhile (especially when we lose power at the house and all the components come back on at the same time instead of a linear progression. :-( As for connecting your ChromeCast to this device to connect it to your TV - I'm sorry but I don't have a CCast connected to my adapter box yet so I'm not sure what it is (or is NOT) supposed to do. My only thought is to rule out as much as possible before assuming it's your HDMI/RGB adapter. I'd suggest to connect your CCast to a different TV to make sure your wireless network, CCast and the CCast clients are all configured properly to confirm that the cast tab does work for a different display when all other equipment is the same. If the HDMI/RGB adapter works for all other equipment just not the CCast, I'll bet it's a client/wifi/CCast issue. There's not active netowrk or programming on the HDMI/RGB adapter that would interfere with the operation of the CCast... other than HDMI compatibility. And if you can see the CCast on your component TV, then the adapter is functioning as well as it's ever going to and is obviously not causing an interruption of the video signal. I don't know if this helps, but I hope it does. -David.

Yes if you have Google Chromecast. Just plug into HDMI and download app and it works great

It connects using bluetooth. I dont' have a chromebook, but I would assume that if you can connect with other devices via bluetooth that this would work.

Won't work. Turns hdmi output to VGA. Unless cpu has hdmi output and tv has VGA input.

My guess is that it wouldn't work properly since you won't be able to play any sound from the Google Chromecast. HDMI includes audio signals but VGA does not (only video). Accordingly, you might be able to get the video signal on the projector by using the adapter but you will loose the audio signal (unless the Chromecast has a separate audio output).
