My TV has DP input. Will this adapter work when connecting to the HDMI output from a laptop to DP input on TV? Some adapters do not work both ways.

I do not know the answer to the question. I purchased the connector to hook a second monitor to my computer.

This is a USB to HDMI adaptor and I have a windows 7 laptop. I am not sure if your laptop has an HDMI port. I bought this device for my projector and laptop use. It works fine for me.

Im not sure. I wanted to use the cable to hook my laptop (with vga plug) to my tv with an hdmi plug. I want to use my tv as a projector. I cant get it to work with this cable. Although the description says vga to hdmi.

Not sure which adapter you are referring to. If you're talking about the Audio output I guess what type system you are sending the signal to. Some will decode the audio signal from the HDMI output, others decode it on a separate audio channel. Hope this helps.

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

This adapter is specifically for output to another monitor from a Computer or Laptop... so it is an output device only. I would not expect it to be able to work as an input device at all.

I used a DisplayPort to a DVI-D cord. Unfortunately, the HDMI only works out, not in. However, the screen resolution is still nice and sharp.

Hi S. Anderson,Is the signal your monitor accepts digital or analog? The HDMI adapter I purchased works great with my Dell 15, but the projector I use at work is analog based and not digital, so my new HDMI - VGA adapter does not work. Hope this helps! Mark V.

I have no idea. Buy it and plug it in from your laptop to your TV. Let us know if it works.....thanks.

In some instances, yes. For example, it would work IF your laptop has an HDMI OUTPUT, AND your TV has an HDMI INPUT. Or, if your laptop doesn't have an HDMI output, but does have a USB connector, and the TV does have an HDMI input, then you could get a 'USB to HDMI adapter', and then use this cable. I got a 'Sabrent' adapter to use like that, and that works fine.

I just tried it and it works great. I used the HDMI output and that is what I used to connect it to my TV's HDMI input.

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.

Unlikely the splitter will work because the monitor needs the full DVI-D resolution. I would try to find an adapter for your DP.

Not familiar with the term Active DP - this cable will connect the DP or DPP port on your laptop to an HDMI device. The cable will also transfer audio of the DP is audio compatible. In my case(DPP or DP+), it also includes audio - so if I can stream it to my laptop, I can put it on the TV.

I really would not know the exact specs. I have a monitor which has a DVI port. I plugged this into that DVI port and then connected a HDMI cable to the other end of the connector. That cable ran to a HDMI port in my Lenovo computer. I would say that if you are connecting a computer with a DVI port to a tv that has a HDMI port it would work. I have a laptop that I hooked up to my TV with the old 9 pin VGA cable and it worked fine although I had to hook up audio jacks between the laptop and TV as well. So if you are trying to send video signal out from a DVI port to a HDMI port I would say it would work just fine. That is basically what I am doing.

Yup, answer below is correct. This will work for mini-displayport to 1 device whether DVI HDMI or regular DP. This does not support multi-device output.

This is a standard Display Port to HDMI cable. If your notebook has DP out... and your TV is HDMI in, then this is the correct cable. Your main issues with set up will be the equipment hardware and software. Keep in mind that DisplayPort is higher quality than HDMI, but less popular. This cable just downgrades the DP bandwidth to the smaller HDMI bandwidth. My biggest headache was configuring MS Windows and the TV to work with each other.. filling the image edge to edge, which has nothing to do with the cable.
