Yes you can (there are not such thing like hdmi to vga adapter you are mixing orange with apples HDMI is digital while VGA is analog, you may find a converter but that is expensive), there are some cheap adapters "component to vga", the only way to feed HD to the projector is by component wich is an analog signal but it is HD...the VGA connector goes in the projector and then you feed the RCA connectors (blue, red and green) from a Directv receiver, hd tuner, media player, DVD, video game console, some blu ray players have component outputs but the only provide 480p...

There is no VGA connector on the back but there is an RCA connector, which most projectors can take as an input. There are also 2 RCA connectors for audio out.

I have used both the 30-pin to HDMI and Lighting to HDMI adapters to this projector from iPhones and was able to display videos and PowerPoint slideshows. I've not yet tried the 30-pin to VGA on this projector however it worked to a Dell projector.

No, it's not a high-def projector, (not sure precisely what it is) that being said, HD images through it do still look darn good, and considering the cost of actual HD projectors, this is a pretty good deal, one thing I should mention, make sure your source is on before the projector, i.e. - Amp/DVD-Blu-ray and projector last (said it did not support my Blu-ray player) shut everything off and turned projector on last, bingo! Worked great!

I believe you just need a regular VGA cable that's usually supplied with either the projector or the computer. You can confirm that by looking at the back of the projector to see if it is says computer in. These cables come in various lengths, so hopefully you'll find one long enough for your connection.

You would need a cable from your laptop to the projector. Could be HDMI, VGA, etc...

I have not been able to get my windows 8 tablet which is at 1366x768 to go from the HDMI signal to VGA input on a projector or monitor. I tried 3 different projectors and one monitor. I have had no success with it.

If your cable supports HD, you can connect it to the projector using an HDMI cable. If you are asking if there is a cable connection on the back, the answer is no. It really depends on what kind of cable box you have and the connections available. There is a way to connect any kind of media device to this projector, it is just a matter of having the right cables.

The blow up screen does not have any ports. You need a projector that has an HDMI port

This is not an HD projector. It is XGA resoution (1024 X 768). If you send an HD video to it, it will be downsized and have a black strip on the top and bottom of the image.

The projector should be plug and play without drivers. Here is a link to the manual https://www.google.com.pr/url?sa=t&source;=web&cd;=4&ved;=0CCUQFjAD&url;=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.projector-manual.com%2Fmanuals%2Fbenq%2FBenQ_MX522.pdf&rct;=j&q;=benq%20mx522%20driver&ei;=q3OyVOi8FoarggSP4oLADQ&usg;=AFQjCNHPcV9u490nhiqN1fB6jjxSUp9s7A. Pages 14 - 16 talk about what to do if the display does not come up right away.

Currently have it running through the USB port on projector. It does come with a plug adapter if USB is not an option.

It sounds like you can use this projector with mac computers. Is that correct? Do I need any other equipment or cables?Thank you.

Sorry, I am far from an expert on this. I have been seeking the right way to do this since 3M does not support the product well. I searched a lot of options to find a cable set that would allow this unit to work like a regular projector. The cable set listed here will not work on its own but I am now waiting for a new cable that may take the RCA ends on the product you are asking about and turn that into the VGA end that will take video out of the computer and into the 3M projector. Write back in 2 wees if you want to see if I have been successful.

Do you know the connection type on the digital projector? It should be either DVI, VGA, or HDMI. You can find them by searching for the type of adapter "to Mini DisplayPort" on Amazon.

It has a mini-HDMI port and comes with a cable adapter from mini-HDMI to VGA port. You might wanna buy a new cable from mini-HDMI to standard HDMI port.

the only way to hook up anything (other than a pre iphone 5)is to connect via VGA. For this you need a VGA adapter from your device- be it an iPhone 5 or a macbook-AND a VGA to projector cable. And there's the problem, the proprietry VGA to projector cord is almost impossible to get since I bought my projector. Great little device, but I can't get a VGA cable. My advice is locate a cable first, or buy a different model. I am pretty disappointed I bought this, i was pretty excited at the use I could out it to at work and home, but it's instead barely been used.
