Connection to a computer? Can this projector be connected to a computer with USB cable?

yes it can to transfer files only and to charge the battery. When you connect it, it disables the projector element. There is an ipod kit that connects to the usb to display images and movies from the ipod however.

Of course most projector are compatible with all PC and Mac computers / laptops, you just need the right cable to connect these with.

Though I can't say that I have done this personally, the projector has type A & B USB so you can plug it directly into the projector itself. I do believe I read somewhere you can do it, I don't remember where. Here is the site that I use to get most of my information and compare different models to determine what best suites my needs: http://www.projectorcentral.com/Epson-EX5210-projection-calculator-pro.htm?haveflashipromise

You can plug a USB drive into the monitor and access it from a computer attached to the monitor. You cannot do this without a computer attached to the monitor.

You would need a cable from your laptop to the projector. Could be HDMI, VGA, etc...

You need to plug into a laptop/tablet. It is a projector only. I have a samsung blu-ray player that works well with this projector.

Yes, it come with a usb one that plugs into the back of it. However, I should mention that I haven't successfully been able to connect it at all to my wi-fi connected computers. I have been able to connect it to my Asus tablet, but that is actually through an app, and the results are limiting. I was hoping this projector would instantly recognize computers to connect to. It doesn't and I'm reasonably tech-savvy.

If your laptop has a VGA out or S-Video connection all you need is the appropriate cable.v if you have HDMI, you will need an active HDMI to VGA adapter. Keep in mind that this will not pass sound, and you need an extra USB port to power the active adapter. DO NOT buy the HDMI to USB cable, it will not work.Otherwise, it is an excellent projector for the money. I picked up a refurbished unit for $169, and it works wonderfully. Steam streaming to a 100" screen is awesome looking on it. This is playing with all the graphics at max.

I don't see why not. If you can hook-up a projector of any kind it should be able to work with your equipment, as long as you have an available USB and VGA port available to coonect to, almost all machines do.

No it can not. The cables needed and the projector itself have been discontinued. The cables needed can not be found anywhere. Only USB flash drives and apple products such as iPod or Mac computers work with it.

Yes, this has multiple ways that it can connect to a laptop. I typically use the VHS port, but you have other options, including USB, I believe. I will see if I can post a snapshot of the back of the projector, where all the ports are. We have been extremely pleased with this projector. It has powerful brightness, nice zoom, and (for display at awkward angles) horizontal and vertical keystone adjustment. The start-up time is decent, and the shutdown time is almost instantaneous.

I apologize for not getting back to you sooner. Yes, if you connect it via a USB cable it comes right up. You can also tweak it with the display settings on the computer as well as using the remote for the projector. I use it to teach workshops and it's nice, portable and works great.

It sounds like you can use this projector with mac computers. Is that correct? Do I need any other equipment or cables?Thank you.

The USB port on this projector is not used to display an image from another device. It is to upgrade firmware or device drivers via a computer. Most users will not use this port during normal use of the projector.

It has a mini USB port on the unit, but it comes with a standard USB to mini cable so you can plug in your USB stick into the cable and the other end of the cable to the projector.... Not sure why they just didn't put a standard USB port on the unit, seems like there is space and cost less than including a converter cable.

Yes you can connect it to a computer. Just hook it to a eForcity VGA adapter, which happen to be available right here on amazon.

If your cable supports HD, you can connect it to the projector using an HDMI cable. If you are asking if there is a cable connection on the back, the answer is no. It really depends on what kind of cable box you have and the connections available. There is a way to connect any kind of media device to this projector, it is just a matter of having the right cables.
