In the product information it says that this unit has a VGA input in the back. If I ran a cable from the VGA output on my notebook computer, does my notebook monitor's image show up on the TV? Is it decent quality to watch a movie?

I use the TV as a monitor for my desktop as well as a TV. I believe the instruction manual tells you how to do this. I watch movies from my PC on it all the time, as well as Netflix from a Wii.

I checked the specs on it and it says it comes with a VGA Cord but it seems mine also had a dvi cord. Hopes this helps

The video output interface is VGA and BNC, if you TV have the VGA interface, so you need to purchase a VGA to VGA cable, thanks.

No. The VGA port on a laptop puts out a video signal that this device converts to an HDMI signal for your TV. The VGA port does not accept a video signal from any other device.

I'm using VGA and I think the resolution is excellent. That said, I'm no expert and I've never compared it to HDMI (no cable). I went from a small 17" flatscreen VGA to this one and I'm very pleased with it.

I bought an Asus 1000HE earlier in the year. Love it! Just bought a 26 inch Panasonic Viera TV. There is a VGA input on the TV. I found a VGA cable, both sides have the dual screw head, and tried to do a simple connection from Asus to Viera. Didn't work. Do I need another cable? One without screws on one side. Thank you.

If this device will not provide high quality images from my laptop to my older (but wide screen) TV, what device would you recommend? I would like to play movies and stream video from my laptop through my TV. Thanks!!!

The laptop most likely has VGA, but not the male end of VGA. This is from vga to hd not from hd to vga. SO you have an hd tv. What you need is the male end of HD And the male end of VGA. woCharger(TM) 5 Feet 1.5M Gold HDMI to VGA converter adapter cable for HDTV,Computer Monitor VGA This is probably what you want.

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.

There are two video outputs, VGA and BNC. you can see more pictures of the unit at the website, and you can call and ask them questions - they're very helpful. http://www.ussscctv.com/

the box uses a VGA Output, not sure if you can you a laptop, as its an output not an input, you might need a monitor for a VGA input

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 bought a new laptop (Lenovo Ideapad). It didn't have VGA connection...it only had HDMI. So I bought this converter and it worked - but the resolution on my VGA screen was "fuzzy" for lack of a better term. I messed with the resolution settings in the control panel / display settings - but nothing i did would make it "crisp and sharp" - like it was before when I was on my old computer which was VGA to VGA. I thought that maybe it was because my screen was 10+ years old that maybe that was the issue when using the HDMI to VGA converter? Anyway, I Googled the issue "HDMI to VGA Resolution Loss" and found a host of comments, some experts on what the issue is when doing this and why it happens. (unfortunately for me, the operating system on the new laptop would not support the resolution settings that i needed if i wanted to get a clear/higher res picture on this old vga monitor) Ultimately, i had to bite the bullet and go buy a brand new LG monitor, which i must say i love, it has the split screen feature so i can turn it into 3 screens in 1! (it was not cheap at $800+ though!) This HDMI to VGA cord is sitting in my drawer (aka the burial ground for old cords, chargers, & obsolete wires) If you want it, it's yours for free, i'm happy to pop it in the mail. Maybe the chromebook can do it better than my old Lenovo that was 5 years old.... Cheers, Carl Wagner. cwagner@benchmarkdestinations.com

Yes it comes with a connector/adapter that plugs into the side for VGA. Its not very secure though, but it will stay in there fine as long as you're not moving it about. I've had my laptop for well over a year now and I haven't had any issues with that. I mostly just use HDMI for the convenience

Just the power cable I think; Honestly, I can't remember if a HDMI cable came with it or not because I already had cables hooked to my computers when I set my newone up. I have two computers hooked to this monitor: one by a HDMI cable and one by a VGA cable. I see little difference in the picture quality from either type and Ilike to watch movies and other DVDs on it. A VGA cable may have come with it, however. Also an external power pack.

The primary output is through a VGA port. It also has an RCA style TV output. Additionally, using the included software it is possible to view using a computer.

It doesn't have any video outputs. It has a VGA (15-pin) INPUT only. It will receive a VGA signal from any computer/laptop with a VGA output.
