No, i obtained this cable mainly to do that with my tv but you must have a video card specific for it. VGA does not go to HDMI with just one cord, I recommend using a VGA to VGA cord instead

Do not buy from this seller....and the answer is no not with out another video card

Mine didn't work. I asked for a replacement but its been over a month and nothing has arrived so far. I have been sent tracking numbers so I think they tried sending a new one but it just hasn't arrived. I wouldn't buy this if I were you. In theory it should work though. VGA is analog and thus is a lower resolution than HDMI. I'm going to buy a whole new monitor that supports DVI rather than dealing with the crappy quality of my VGA monitor. Its up to you man I wouldn't buy though.

I have used this to go from laptop or desktop (windows OS) VGA port on the pc [that has a video card which supports digital output] to an HDMI input port on Televisions, to get video only. I had to use a separate Y audio cable to get sound from the pc to the TV. Using the projector setting on your pc you will see it on the TV, just check the TV for input, my Mother has DynxxTV and sets it to VGA input, my friend he has to put it on HDMI2 another says their TV has a PC input, so check your TV or Monitor manual.

It didn't work for me... Do you have two monitors that each have VGA connectors, but you have a computer that has one VGA port and one HDMI port? That is what I had, and I found although this seems like it would connect the two, it doesn't work. I found success with an adaptor that connected via the USB port that was ~$40 from Best Buy. I had failed with this cable as well as two other splitters. The spitters left me with mirror images/replicas and this connector quite frankly did nothing. Good luck!

you don't; vga doesn't carry audio. it's not like hdmi.does your monitor have built-in speakers? if so, then there will be a line-in (aka auxiliary, 3.5mm, 1/8", etc.) input which looks exactly like a headphone jack, except that sound goes into it instead of out of it. in that case, you'll need an rca to 3.5mm cable or adapter. if your monitor doesn't have speakers, then just route your rca cables to your sound system. i hope that helps.

You have the built-in monitor, and a vga port as well as an hdmi port. The settings detect for multiple monitors. I would expect that, therefore, you could do as you asked. However, I have not tried this so will not certify. The vga port can be used as a second monitor, while the hdmi can be plugged into HD tv etc. Vga does not carry sound, hdmi does. If you need more of an answer, you can advise exactly what you are trying to accomplish. Remember there are also other ports and wireless available as well. I would think you could do whatever you need to do since this is well-equipped laptop.

This is a DVI cable. This connects a PC to a DVI monitor. It does not carry an audio signal like HDMI. If you are using a monitor/TV with built in speakers and want to use them, you will need an appropriate audio connection.

sorry, I used it to hook up a second monitor I don't know if it would work for you

No, it is for connecting a monitor to the Samsung laptop. Sound would come from the laptop's speakers. I don't use the one I have any more. If you need one I'll sell you mine.

hey thanks for the reply. Do I need to buy another cable to make the connection ?

this cable is a "Thunderbolt" to "Display" I don't know if your monitor has a "Display" input. You would have to see what type of input the monitor has.

I was able to connect my computer to my tv's HDMI using this cable. Sounds like you're trying to do the same thing the other way. All I can say is buy it and try it out. You can return it if it doesn't work out. Nice part of buying on Amazon. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Dear Customer, Thank you for your question regarding our HDMI cable. As a standard, HDMI will carry both Audio and Visual signals, so you would not need an additional cable for sound. Please contact us at service@bluerigger.com if you have any additional questions. Thanks, BlueRigger LLCSevice@bluerigger.com

Especially if you have an HDTV you could connect to your computer! If you have anymore questions, please feel free to ask me! Thank you for your time, and have a wonderful day!

Thanks so much for your response. I'll go ahead and bust it out of the package and try it out. Trying to connect an extra monitor!! Lee

No. HDMI carries audio but dvi doesn't, so you need a separate cable for that.

All HDMI ports and cables will carry both audio and video signals. That's the convenience of HDMI. One cable does it all. Although the monitor has speakers, I wouldn't expect any quality sound from them. They're very small and have no audio range whatsoever.
