Can this connect to a video monitor, or only a HD TV?

I have mine connected to a 24" Sony Simulview gaming monitor and it works great with three devices connected to it. The picture quality is excellent but the real benefit is the auto switching function. The cable will automatically switch to device you are currently using (PC to PS3 then to XBOX360). There is also a manual button on top so you can switch it yourself. Good luck.

Yes, you could connect it using an HDMI cable to your HDMI port to turn your tv into a monitor

Not without modifications. This unit has the old VGA plug from the monitor and into the computer. You would either need a VGA to HDMI adapter, or a different interface unit. I'm sure I saw them for HDMI. I had to really look to find this unit with the old style plug.

Yes, all you need is a HDMI or VGA cable if your TV has a VGA port and your computer should recognize the screen, I would use HDMI cable though.

You will just use any HDMI cable. There is a very slight chance you will need to use a display port connector though. They look similar but there is a distinct visual difference. Look up HDMI and Digital Port on Googel images and you will see the difference. A DisplayPort is a computer connection format. There is only one television with DisplayPort , and don't expect it to see much further adoption on the TV side. It's capable of 3,840x2,160-pixel resolution at 60fps, if you have at least DisplayPort 1.2 and the Multi-Stream Transport feature. If you're looking to connect a computer to a monitor, there's no reason not to use DisplayPort. The cables are roughly the same price as HDMI. However, HDMI is most likely what the monitor's using. Hope this helps.

I don't know. I just have it to connect a new home theater receiver with HDMI to an older HDTV with only component input.

Sorry this is a VGA cable and this cable will only input video only if you monitor supports VGA... VGA connection has the blue color connection or sometimes black color and no this will not output any audio HDMI does audio and video as well as dvi connection does....

I don't see why not. I have my VGA monitor connected to my computer's HDMI port using the device, and it works fine.

The monitor has a connection for an HDMI cable which means that it can connect to a standard cable box with almost no hassle. http://www.timewarnercable.com/en/residential-home/support/faqs/faqs-equipment-and-instruction-manuals/hookup-diagrams/hdmi-diagram.html

I'm sorry, I've only tried HDMI, but that works fine. Can you try that connection, just to your tv temporarily to verify everything is working?

yes you can connect to a TV HDMI port. You May have to switch the OS to output from the HDMI port instead of the VGA port. This depends on who made the Graphics card in some cases. Use the display option at control panel to access the switch selection.

I know of no way to connect it to a TV. It is for connecting a video projector. There used to be a cable adapter that had a TV connection. But this one won't.

Don't know, never tried this. My understanding is that the HDMI port to computer or TV is for video playback only.

My television will do either DMI or VGA. The computer hard drive itself also has jacks obviously for both connections If you wanted to run 2 monitors off of it. One jack for each type. Hope this helps!

Does your HDTV have a VGA input? If like mine yours doesn't, then you're out of luck.

You'll need an adapter or converter from HDMI to DVI. This monitor has HDMI and VGA ports only.

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