HP Pavilion p6-2350 Desktop: Will an HDMI to DVI adapter cord work on this model-- to turn TV into monitor?

I tried using a hd tv as a monitor once. Your choices of resolution are greatly narrowed. I personally don't recommend using a tv as a monitor system. But, yes the adapter should work just fine for the graphics but bear in mind dvi doesn't support sound. Since the computer has an hdmi port that cable would be better since hdmi supports digital sound.

Short Answer: Yes.Longer Answer: Since DVI output is already digital, a simple cable, such as "AmazonBasics HDMI to DVI Adapter Cable" (search for: B001TH7T2U) will convert the DVI out to HDMI digital signal, suitable to plug into an HD TV. A full HD TV 16:9 screen should be able to display "monitor" resolutions up to at least 1920x1024. That should be true of any computer or other device that has DVI out.EDIT: oops. after a brief search I see that your question is more complex than I thought--specifically regarding SD vs. HD color space. Since I happen to have all the relevant parts at work, I'll just try it tomorrow, and let you know :-) Short Answer: Yes.Longer Answer: Since DVI output is already digital, a simple cable, such as "AmazonBasics HDMI to DVI Adapter Cable" (search for: B001TH7T2U) will convert the DVI out to HDMI digital signal, suitable to plug into an HD TV.

Most HP laptops have a VGA port on them, and that TV seems to have a VGA port. So this cable should work fine for you.

Yes, just check for your laptop video output, all you need is the hdmi cable or vga.

you can use the VGA input or the M1 to component cable adapter or M1 to HDMI http://www.infocus.com/accessories/SP-HDMI-ADPT-R - its not a DVI its an M1 connector.

It is DVI to HDMI .. yes it connects a laptop to a TV for example .. but u need to make sure your laptop supports DVI output directly .. if not, ull need to buy the DVI to VGA adaptor because 90% laptops has a VGA output for sure .

Not easy to say. PC must have HDMI not USB which looks very similar but are not. Many Monitors use only a VGA which has less pins in the screw on end of cord. I suggest check your pin configuration on Monitor because some DVI's have less pins. I made that mistake first time around.

No you need a VGA to HDMI converter http://www.amazon.com/SANOXY%C2%AE-Black-Adapter-Converter-Laptop/dp/B007KFVQXI

I just got my converter today and it is not working! I have an ASUS laptop with HDMI out and I am trying to connect it to my older VGA monitor.

I tried to use this on my ACER laptop but it didn't work for me. I don't know why manufactures even design of such cables that don't really work. I sold the ACER to a friend and I own a Gateway which has the HDMI connection that has the DVI adapter on it and it works very well.

Of course, look at the spec closer, pc input for PIP. A couple of ways to do it. Also most computers/ laptop have DVI and HDMI. And there are cable with one side is DVI and the other side is HDMI. Again there is the regular PC monitor input out for older computers/laptops.

I have this HP monitor sitting in my closet not hooked up to a computer. I would like to hook up a dvd player to the monitor and watch movies on it in my garage at my workbench. ( There is no computer involved) The monitor only has VGA input. Will this cord allow me to connect a dvd player directly to the monitor and watch movies?

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.

You need to buy a special HP VGA cable (for your HP-1000 laptop) and connect to TV setting your TV input to PC!

Just ... plug it into your laptop's video out slot, it'll just work like any monitor would. Right click your desktop wallpaper and select "Screen Resolution" to make any other adjustments you want regarding the screen locations and resolutions, etc...

It may not be the issue of HDMI to DVI cable. Can you check if the mini PC works for HDMI enabled TV or LCD monitor.
