Is this really "Mini-VGA" or "Mini DisplayPort" to VGA Adapter? I'd like to use it with a Samsung Chromebook that only has a "Mini-VGA" port.

Hi, when I ordered it I was not sure of what I would receive, but now I can assure it is a Mini-VGA to VGA! Exactly what I needed to get my eMAC (not iMac) working again.

This is really a mini-VGA. This item IS NOT a mini display port. I am using this mini-vga to connect my 10-year-old Macbook to my television and it works great. This is the only place I've been able to find the mini-VGA adapter.

It might depend on what you are connecting. On my HP 11" it works for my external LG monitor but the Chromebook refuses to use a projector it doesn't recognize.

This product did not work for me to go from VGA to HDMI. I believe this product goes the other way (HDMI to VGA). Additionally, the VGA connection you need, needs to be a male connection to connect to the female port on your computer. This is the product that worked for me. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EV6AARC/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Greg:I just remembered, in the quick set up manual there is a diagram for hooking up your computer to the Samsung using an HDMI cable. This assumes you have an HDMI output on your computer. This would give you the highest quality resolution on the set ( it will still be limited to 1440 by 900 though). There is opinion out there that you would be hard pressed to tell the differnce between VGA and HDMI at that resolution. You could try both and see which looks best.

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.

This is a serial port adapter, Not a VGA adapter.You are looking for a USB to VGA adapter.

Asus are supposed to be releasing a specific mini hdmi to vga adapter; it's been shown off as an accessory but there hasn't been any pricing or release information given as of yet. Until then, there are other cables/adapters that seem to work including one from HP (- it needs a mini hdmi to hdmi adapter in order to use it with the transformer); you may wish to check out this thread on XDA Developers that discusses it in further detail. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1088243 Robert

Is it trying to output 1080p HD? This adapter won't work with 1080p. I had to find this out the hard way. Plus, going through many adapters is not a good idea. I'd recommend buying just an HDMI to VGA adapter.

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 comes with a HDMI to VGA adapter so you can use VGA. I own this pc and all the Windows 8 Acers in this 128GB SSD ultrabook model line come with the adapter.

If you have a minidisplayport output on your PC and you're wanting to connect a VGA female, it should work regardless of the kind of computer.

No. It's not a USB adapter at all, of any kind. It adapts a full size DisplayPort monitor plug to a Mini DisplayPort monitor plug. It won't let you connect anything to USB, despite the fact that Mini DisplayPort plugs look like USB.

The Microsoft Surface (all versions) have an HD video out port that requires an adapter to connect to HDMI or VGA. I've never had an issue with either of these adapters, and I've used them with a variety of different TVs & monitors with different (old and newer) aspect ratios drivers for the video card are updated very regularly. Naturally, the full USB port could be used with other adapters, depending on driver availability for those specific USB adapters.

It should work, it's a generic adapter for mini displayport. Also, keep in mind that this is an extremely cheap adapter and you get what you pay for. Mine was very flimsy, but good enough for me to stick behind my computer and forget about.

You cannot plug in VGA directly to this. The built in connection is a similar multi-pin connection called DVI. However, I've used a few different brands and styles of DVI-VGA cables and adapters and the work just fine. DVI is supposedly a higher quality/superior connection, but I can't visually tell a difference in any of my uses. The adapters can add bulk to the back of the connection so consider that. I'm sure there are also mini display to VGA adapters as well, but I've never used them.

The adapter plugs into the mini-video port on the Surface. I have connected to several VGA monitors, TV's, and projectors and it has worked very well each time. I carry this device in my kit of various connectors and extension cables to meet various display needs as I travel.

more info would really help us help you . you have to ask yourself 2 very important questions . does the chromebook have a displayport out ? and does the tv have a displayport in ? if the answer is no to any of the questions then this cable will not work for you . first determine what kinda output the chromebook has , most i've seen have an HDMI out and or VGA out . then look @ what inputs your TV has , all HDTV's will have an HDMI put and most will have a VGA input . if the chromebook and tv have HDMI , that would be the best way to connect your chromebook to your HDTV.
