I want to show powerpoint slides from my laptop to tv...couldn't get my wifi blu-ray player &amp; computer to connect. Will this cable work for that?

YES. As long as your TV and laptop both have HDMI ports. I use it exactly for that - HDMI on laptop to HDMI on TV. Is wonderful because it also carries audio on the HDMI cable so you can easily watch movies (say from iTunes) on TV too.

Hi Jennifer. I think it should work just fine. My laptop only has an HDMI port as well and this adapter works great for PowerPoint projectors and monitors. It was a convenient, low cost work around. Good luck!

How can I use this for presenting a power point presentation if I can´t connect it to my computer?

it connects perfectly,unfortunately it did not work properly,intermittently at best. i solved my problem which seems similar to yours by purchasing the two obsolete dvd players below,either one will work and you can find them on amazon for about the same price as a convertor.they have both HDMI and component (RCA) outputsLG BD530 1080p Network Blu-ray Disc Player orLG BP220 2D Blu-Ray Player with Smart TV (Black)

I have connected several Bluetooth speakers to my Brookstone projectors, but always with a simple cord from the output audio jack on projector to the audio-input jack on the speaker. i do not believe the projector can do this wireless. However, if you are running a PowerPoint presentation from your laptop, you should be able to wirelessly connect your laptop to the speaker instead, and avoid the cord.

The specs say as long as you can connect ur device via Ethernet and the bridge is connected to ur network it should work. I have my bluray connected and it works great.

Im not sure. I wanted to use the cable to hook my laptop (with vga plug) to my tv with an hdmi plug. I want to use my tv as a projector. I cant get it to work with this cable. Although the description says vga to hdmi.

Robert, this is an interface adapter only, I did not connected it to Blu-Ray drive, but I recomend you to find another adapter with the power Jack separated. God bless you.

Thanks for your question, but - since I don't have a Blu-Ray machine - I actually have no idea if this use is possible. Assuming the Blu-Ray has an Ethernet port, I suppose it may be technically possible. You would still need to set this up with a computer so it can connect to your network. HOWEVER, if this can be done it would be better for you to use an N wireless adapter, because of its higher speed and bandwidth capability.

I wondered the same thing when I got mine. I believe you are correct in saying one for power and one for data. I have always used both. You could just try one cable and see if it works. I thought I read in one of the reviews somewhere that with one cable blu ray didn't play right. You would just have to try it and see. Sorry I could't be more helpful.

It should work. Only reason it shouldn't be working is if the HDMI port on the Blue Ray is not giving enough power. If you do get it, I suggest trying it on a TV with HDMI and try connecting it to a VGA Laptop

Well, before answering, let me say that this blu-ray is one of the worst pieces of technology that I have ever purchased. However, it will probably connect and work with your desktop monitor but not with your laptop. A laptop's HDMI pushes signal out. It does not receive. A desktop's HDMI receives, it does not push out. I am not 100% sure but that is what I suspect.

Yes, it will work, but you will need an alternate port on the Blu-ray player for audio (i.e. Optical audio output, or coaxial) because DVI doesn't carry audio through unlike HDMI does.

If you found something that did work, could you please tell me what it was? I'm looking for the same thing. I want to connect a Wii (RCA) to my monitor (VGA) since I don't have a TV. I already have the audio thing worked out, but I need a configuration that works for video. Thank you!!

I bought a sony blu ray player with netflix capability, but apparently I need to buy a usb wireless LAN adapter to be able to connect the player to the net and pick up netflix. Will this adapter work for that?

Yes, but because it doesn't have wi fi built in, you will either need to run an ethernet cable to it from where the router is, but if you have a wireless router, use can use a wi fi extender that allows you to plug an ethernet cable into it to the blu ray player or use a powerline ethernet adapter to connect an ethernet cable to the blu ray (that will run the Internet to other areas of your house using the power grid & power outlets in your home). The last is the best method I found, as the wif fi extender would drop signal sometimes, but the powerline adapter doesn't & gives me a better connection.
