Is it possible to use a hd tv with HDMI port as a monitor with this chromebox? Has anyone done this?

Not a problem! The Display Port does need the correct plug/cord. I paid 12 bucks on amazon. Output on the chromebox is 1080 and the sound is digital and outstanding!

Yes I have mine connected to a HDTV with a DP to HDMI cable I bought on EBAY

I am using an Asus monitor but have it attached to the hdmi port on the Asus. I am using a display port to hdmi cable (cost about $5).

No you need to search on Amazon for an HDMI Converter that works with your tv's inputs. Chromecast HDMI to HDMI switch = HDMI output Chromcast HDMI to HDMI Converter = Older TV's get picture

more info would really help us help you . you have to ask yourself 2 very important questions . does the chromebook have a displayport out ? and does the tv have a displayport in ? if the answer is no to any of the questions then this cable will not work for you . first determine what kinda output the chromebook has , most i've seen have an HDMI out and or VGA out . then look @ what inputs your TV has , all HDTV's will have an HDMI put and most will have a VGA input . if the chromebook and tv have HDMI , that would be the best way to connect your chromebook to your HDTV.

not possible!...only HDTV with HDMI will work although, you still get decent image.

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.

I'm sorry, I don't know what the Asus Chromebox is? I looked at the item and it says it is a male DVI connector. I am not that familiar with the display port portion of the equation, but the specs say it is a DVI connector. If you scroll down the page a little more from the basic product information, it gives you the specs of the cable.

If you computer is DVI, then there is an inexpensive adapter for using with the HDMI. Yes, works well as monitor.

I use this on my chromebox connected to my television. The usb dongle loaded and worked completely. I presume it would work generally with android although there may be some unique situations as I don't think Android is designed for using a Mouse and on screen pointer. You may be better off getting something with separate keyboard and mouse.

Please excuse my ignorance, but could someone tell me what HDMI out actually allows you to do? I'm guessing hook up your netbook to an external monitor/tv for alternate display? I'm I correct? Thanks!

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).

There are some out there and I had the same problem. I was told by a computer website that display port was a little higher than hdmi and it wouldn't work correctly so I just use display port to display port

don't use hdmi. use mini displayport ("Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort Cable" is like $5 on amazon) to display 2560 x 1080 perfectly.

It does not have the HDMI port, that's why but really...you don't need one.You will get the HD picture with the RGB cable.I'd love this TV if it really played the divx files as promised.But it does not, so I am returning it.

I don't know - I have not attempted that yet. I mostly use it as a bridge since the composite inputs blew out on my 65 inch TV. But when I tried Chromecast with it, I was unable to get it working, so I am glad that you did. Any advice for me on how you got Chromecast to work and what are your best uses for it?

My Chromecast has an HDMI connector. There are at least 3 HDMI connectors on the TV. A couple in back, and one on the side. Check the manual. If you do not have one, you can find it on the Internet.
