I would like to use an older notebook PC that has vga. Will this work with a VGA to HDMI converter connected to the notebook?

This is not a converter, thus is merely a cable to allow two computers to share one monitor, keyboard and mouse. If you need to connect this cable to an VGA output, you need to buy an adaptor. I had to do that since I have two computers, one has HDMI output, one has VGA output. Hope this helps.

Hello, I have hp pavilion , you should be able to use your VGA cable as I didn't have to buy another cable. Just use cable that comes with monitor.

I don't know. All I've used is the HDMI and USB, and have not had any issues at all. The other comment about the USB port being defective makes the most sense. I don't think VGA would deliver power -- I think that has to go through the USB connection.

I have already checked the notebook and there is no hdmi and vga port. this is from the manual of the ultrathin notebook, Acer Converter Port- "Connects to the Acer Converter cable, allowing for easy connection to a LAN, an external display or an additional USB device." you can check this by looking at the acer website, choose download, then ultra-thin, then the series-Aspire, then products-Aspire V5-122P, then documents-User Manual (Windows 8.1), then download. there are pictures showing the right and the leftside ports of the notebook.

VGA is analog. HDMI is digital. So, no. You would need a converter between.

No, VGA has to be the source. You can use our HDMI to VGA adapter: http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Gold-Plated-Adapter-USB-Power/dp/B00879DM56/ Please make sure your laptop has a HDMI port.

It doesn't have VGA but you can get the VGA to HDMI converter if your PC doesn't have HDMI.

No this cable will not concert from vga to hdmi. You need a converter box to do that. I made the mistake of buying it for the exact same computer and reason which was a waste of money. Do not buy this cable to convert from vga to hdmi. It won't do it.

It only has a VGA connection. So you would need some kind of converter and the quality would be poor.

It should if DELL says the laptop outputs VGA signals via the HDMI port and your monitor accepts digital and not analogue signals (depends on how old it is). You might need to get a HDMI-VGA convertor otherwise; another option would be to get a newer monitor with HDMI. it's only $5 so worth a try, let us know how it goes. Good luck!

I am not quite sure of the question but I will try to help.... The VGA port is the standard port that a monitor would use to connect to. You would not use this to connect a VGA output from a laptop to HDMI. This is the revers of that. This takes HDMI input to VGA output.

Not by itself, no, because your laptop (most likely) has a female VGA port, and this converter is female VGA to male HDMI; you would need either a male VGA to male HDMI converter or male-to-male VGA to connect between your laptop and the converter in question. I know that you can definitely down-convert, as I use this converter quite regularly to output an HDMI (high-def digital) signal from my laptop into an analog, low-def signal VGA input in a projector for presentations, but I'm not sure you can do the reverse, or if such cables exist. Best of luck...

as long as your laptop has a vga out it can work of course vga out is not common anymore on most laptops i don't think

No. This will go to the monitor VGA input alright but hooks up to the computers USB port. You need to be running Windows.

It only comes with a VGA cord. the vga to hdmi adapter should work fine. The quality won't be as good of course, but it will work. You could just hook into the VGA plug on the back of the monitor as well. I am using a StarTech HDMI(male) to DVI(female) converter, since the PC comes with DVI and that works very well.

No, According to what I found out the HDMI output from the laptop is digital and VGA is analog. Need a converter.
