If my Laptop does not have an HDMI port, will I be able o watch High Definition home movies through the Epson projector

No. The output from you Laptop to the projector would not be High Definition and the projector would not attempt to upscale it. Nevertheless, it would play the movie and you might be happy (surprised) with the picture quality.One more thing - You probably realize that a Blu-ray disc will not play in your laptop unless you have a Blu-ray drive.

My understanding (although somewhat limited) is that you may be able to view the video, but that it will be degraded to something below the High Definition standard. I believe that display of High Definition content requires a "secure" connection (using High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) for the entire path from the source file to the display device. If your computer does not detect an HDCP compliant connection (such as would be provided by an HDMI port and cable) then it is required to degrade the video to something less than full HD.

Yes, if the laptop's screen resolution is greater than 1280x720. The DVI input on the projector will match the screen resolution from the laptop.

Assuming you are using a VGA port (you didn't specify how you plan to connect), just use a VGA cable as other reviewers suggest. VGA is an analog standard but can still support high resolution -- you might just see some minor signal degradation.HDCP as mentioned below could be an issue depending on the movie type -- if it's not DRM (rights management) you should be fine.

Yes, via HDMI. There is no VGA port. They pretty much don't exist on laptops anymore. Just get a HDMI to VGA converter if your projector/monitor doesn't have HDMI. $9.99 from Amazon Prime.

What did you plug it into? If it was a laptop you just have to change your settings on your laptop to connect to a projector.

Yes you can connect to a projector if the projector has HDMI port. If not you have use a HDMI adaptor suitable for connecting to a projector device. This dell xps 12 laptop has one HDMI port.

No, it doesn't. You could use a projector that can connect to an USB or HDMI port. Another option is to get a HDMI to VGA connector. Regards.

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.

No. It has a usb port, headphone jack and a very small earphone jack that I had to use a smaller earphone jack adaptor. But no hdmi port. Use a laptop for that purpose.

You would need to have the HDMI interface on your computer. But it works great if you wish to use a flatscreen TV,or a projector as your monitor.

If your projector has HDMI cable in, then maybe. If you have a small black rectangle like slot, it's bigger than a USB port... Id look up your mini projector online to see what or if you can use an HDMI cable. This is about as helpful as I can be.

you need to download the projector's driver to your computer, so your laptop can recognize it, I just dont know where to find the driver, i want to know too.

You would likely need an adapter or two. This does not have an HDMI port in the laptop, so you would have to convert a VGA connection to HDMI. You might be better suited with a Chromecast or ROKU device if you want to stream content to your TV from your network.

You need a VGA or an HDMI cable to use your laptop with the projector. But the battery of the projector is pretty good so for short presentation you can project it using just the battery.

You can but it has to be through a laptop or the receiver that you would connected to the projector with an HDMI cable. You cant just plug the drive into the projector itself.

Yes, provided that your laptop has to hdmi port, you can hook it up to the hdmi port on your hdtv and have the luxury of having a larger screen to watch on.

Yes, you'll just need to connect your HDMI cable to the adapter then plug the adapter into your projector's DVI port. I'm using one for a similar set up.
