I have an old desktop computer with no hdmi port and a tv with hdmi port can this converter allow me to view movies from my old computer?

It should. I was able to configure my old laptop to output to a 32" 1080p TV using its HDMI port. However, the image wasn't quite full HD. Close, but still a tad fuzzy.

My laptop is about 5 years old. I went on ebay and bought a VGA cable that had the audio jack (3.5mm plug) atached to it. I used this from the VGA jack on my laptop to the converter, and plugged the audio jack into the head phone jack and into the converter. My picture on the TV is pretty good, I would say around a 8 1/2 to 9 right now. I just bought the LCD TV and am still tweaking in the picture part of it. Hope this helps.

Yes the converter have an HDMI port on one end and all u will have to do is order a long enough HDMI cable probably 15-25 foot at least also make sure u order a VGA splitter cable also and once all is hooked up ur movies will stream to your HDTV with no problem a

Oh and the HDMI port on the converter is not for ur computer and is only to bridge ur PC connection to your HDTV using a HDMI cable

I don't see why not! :)I have a toshiba laptop that only has a VGA slot. So I just bought a VGA cable hooked it up and it worked flawlessly so the answer is yes

So far my pc only has a vga out and works fine when converted to an hdmi. I did not have to install any drivers. I would say yes you should be able to watch your movies.

As far as I know this will only covert component(RGB-RCA) to HDMI and not the other way around. If you have HDMI coming out already then I don't see the need for this box unless you were trying to down grade the signal to simple video or something. For that you would need an HDMI to video converter.

I assume you are referring to using your HDMI port on the TV? If that is the case, it will work if you buy one of these to convert the analog signal. Tmvel mini RCACVS 3 RCA Composite Video AV to HDMI Converter for TV/PC/PS3/Blue-Ray DVD

Cant figure out why it would. this device was designed to adapt VGA (computer video) to composite or sometimes called component video. In simpler terms computer to TV. I beleive what you are looking for is a TV tuner card to install inside your computer. BUT it does the job that it was intended to, however, though the resolution is good enough for watching movies using an old TV. for computer tasks (reading is still not there yet and probably will never be) as the new screens available are VGA,HDMI and usually composite ready. Our old TV's are dinosaurs. just giving you the info I know.

Yes, but only if the tv is of a certain type. You can not connect the computer to a tv that is too old. The older sets are not set up to handle the signal translation.

It's a converter for VGA it converters HD and video to a VGA signal not the other way round so if you have a old VGA screen you can use it as a TV screen

if you TV has HDMI, I recommend you use an HDMI cable :)I use this converter to use a projector.:)

No, you probably won't even get video, in the conversion you drop to analog and without an active adapter/converter the analog signal hits the HDMI and bad things happen

This is not a converter, thus is merely a cable to allow two computers to share one monitor, keyboard and mouse. If you need to connect this cable to an VGA output, you need to buy an adaptor. I had to do that since I have two computers, one has HDMI output, one has VGA output. Hope this helps.

It just a 2X1 switch. It's not changing or converting anything. If your computer has a HDMI output, it should work.

This converted will take HDMI video from a laptop, cable box, or satellite. Receiver with an HDMI output and convert it to a VGA signal for a video projector or computer monitor. It would also drive a TV that has a VGA input.

I don't think so. It will only take TV signal and display it on the computer screen, and from there to any display device connected to the computer.

NO! Don't waste your money It does not convert. You need a converter. Obviously you don't have hdmi connection on ur PC. otherwise you be using HDMI cable.

If the cable is attached to the TV's HDMI port, and the RCA connectors are attached to the converter box's connectors, then it may work, if the convertor box converts the signal from analog to digital. On the other hand, if the cable is attached to your computer's HDMI port, and the cables' RCA connectors are attached to the convertor box (which converts the signal from digital to analog), and the convertor box is attached to your TV by way of another cable & input source, then it may work. What are you trying to accomplish?

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.

Yes. I have my converter connected from a laptop to a tv through the component input.Hope it works fine for you.
