Will this work on a hd computer monitor with a hdmi connection, or does it have to be used with a tv?

I seem to recall that this thing likes 1080p, so if you have a full HD monitor, you're all set. However, I found that this thing tends to stop working if I leave it plugged in, so I ended up removing it from my home theater setup. If you want a device for streaming video and Android apps, you might try the Kind Fire TV. This thing is really kind of... Well, cheap is the best word I can use to describe it.

I have just tried that and it worked. I normally use a HDMI input but my TV comes with a DVI input connector so I tried the DVI input and there was no problem. My suggestion is that you 1) turn off the HDMI splitter and all devices connected to the HDMI splitter, 2) turn on all devices connected to the HDMI splitter and then 3) turn on the HDMI splitter.

This adapter will allow one to use a "regular" HDMI cable between the computer DVI output and the TV HDMI input. Note: the computer DVI output only contains video and therefore no sound will be carried via your HDMI cable.

As long as your distance is less than 98 feet from your computer to your TV then this is what you need. This is assuming that your computer and your TV both have HDMI inputs.

The Mini DisplayPort connector must be plugged into your computer (the small end) and the HDMI connector (the large, flat end) needs to be plugged into your TV's HDMI port. This will NOT work if you A) Do not have a Mini DisplayPort compatible computer or B) Do not have a TV with an HDMI port.

It will need a HDMI or VGA and a USB connection. I can't think of a reason it wouldn't work.

To answer your question, no but it is good to have one. I'm pretty sure you "CAN'T" use this cord with a standard tv, the ones with the big back on them. I don't use these cables with an hdtv. I bought them for when my friends come over, and since I don't have spare tvs, they use it on computer monitors. I hope this answers your question. If not, I can talk to you on an online video chat service called ooVoo. Basically what I'm saying is that you don't need a HD TV, but you need a computer monitor(screen you use for computers in case you didn't know). I don't mean to write a lot, but I tried to answer your question as best as I could.

It works fine with Dual-Link DVI (which I use) and Display Port. Everyone who has problems is using HDMI, which is designed to only support resolutions up to 1920x1080 at 60Hz (1080p). HDMI does support higher resolutions, like 4K, but only at much lower refresh rates (30 herz or 24 herz). HDMI also supports frame-packing (for three-dimensional television) and other features commonly found in televisions but not necessarily computer monitors. HDMI was designed by the television industry, so it supports the resolutions and frequencies used by televisions, but not necessarily the ones found in computer monitors. Or to put it in layman's terms - you should be using a cable and connection with a computer monitor that is designed for a computer monitor (DVI, Dual-Link DVI, or Display Port). Although there is a lot of overlap between television technologies and computer monitor technologies, they are not the same. So don't be surprised if a computer monitor has problems using a connection and cable that is designed for television when operating the monitor at resolutions or refresh rates that are not commonly found in televisions.

I only tested it to connect my laptop to a computer monitor with a display port. I am not sure if your HDTV has such a port. It probably has a HDMI port for which you need a different cable. In any case the cable quit working only after a few months. I have thrown it away.

This cable has an HDMI connector on both ends. We used it to connect an "apple tv" to a video projector. It will connect anything with HDMI inputs or outputs. So, if your Computer has an HDMI "out" and your TV has an HDMI "in", then yes.

yes, theoretically this should work. I've used it for HDMI output to to DVI input on a computer monitor, so there is no reason it shouldn't work, however I would recommend direct HDMI-DVI to avoid putting extra stress on your tv connection with the extra adapter

You need a monitor cable or an HDMI, either will work with the TV but older PC's might not have HDMI ports and newer ones might not have monitor ones.

I used mine on my computer along with a USB digital HD TV convertor. I didn't use it on my HD cable TV. Sorry I can't help you more.

How you would get it to work would depend on which type of computer you have. Also, make sure your Tv is on the "HDMI" setting.

You do not need to buy a video card to hook this to a monitor with only HDMI input. This computer has a displayport output. Just get a displayport to HDMI adapter or cable like this one Cable Matters Gold Plated DisplayPort to HDTV Cable 6 Feetor Cable Matters Gold Plated DisplayPort to HDMI Male to Female Adapter with Built-in Light IndicatorThat is what I purchased and it is working on my HDMI monitor as we speak.

It will only work if your HDTV has a VGA input. I've never done this myself, but I'm assuming it would if the TV has VGA capabilities.

This cable takes connection from the VGA end to the HDMI, and it should work if that's how you intend to use it.
