I have a HP Envy 23 all in one desktop. It has a HDMI input port but no video output. Will this device allow me to output my desktop screen to a TV?

Basically it will allowed you to connect it to any monitor with HDMi and with included adapter DVI / VGA. Only thing I am not sure about is sound. By the way, you are not limited to just one. I have one of these plus a docking station

I also have an HP Envy 23 all in one. I downloaded the drivers they emailed me ahead of time, plugged it into my HDMI monitor and the second I plugged it in, I had video for a second monitor. ITS THAT EASY. I was sceptical but very pleasantly surprised it was so ready to go.

I also have an HP 23" all-in-one and was a bit taken aback when I found it didn't have any video out ports. I actually received this converter / adapter this morning. I installed the software and connecting it is a no-brainer and thought I've not had the time to put it through it's paces, I popped on a BluRay movie and on my 48" Toshiba HDTV it appeared perfectly. I couldn't find one thing wrong with the movement or quality. Again, I'm not put it through it paces but hooking it up was simple and so far I'm very impressed. It works.

no, the hdmi input on your pc is an output. you would need to buy another device.

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.

BTW if youre still thinking and didn't buy, I use it for that, windows desktop on monitor 1, and HDMI to tv on TV that's monitor 2. You can buy a 10 foot blue rigger mini hdmi thats on the card on 1 end, and regular that's on your TV on the other. As far as DVI my monitor understood it fine as it was HP 52031. Very happy with the card and the cable.

No, this will not do what you are attempting. You either need to get a USB to VGA adapter that will allow your PC to output its video via the USB and then a cable to connect the VGA end of the adapter to the VGA input on your TV. Not sure what sort of computer you are using, but I've never seen one that doesn't either have a VGA output or come with a converter to allow VGA output (unless it is a slim Chromebook or similar).

my machine has one HDMI port. the machine came with windows 8, but video was jumpy. So i got rid of windows 8 and installed windows 7. Video works perfectly (from my HDMI to my TV).

Any suggestions for connecting my HP Pavilion dv6000 notebook to this TV? I know I can accomplish this through a VGA connection or S-Video connection, but I wanted to keep the connection digital quality. Thanks!

Sure can. I've already done this but you need HDMI. It won't work with a desktop with the old video cables. I had a laptop and plugged HDMI to each. Easiest ssetup. The only downfall is the transfer speed between the HDMI cable to the TV. Its maybe half a second delay. You'll only notice it when watching movies from your laptop but it makes an excellent screen, yes. Maybe to fix that you get a better hdmi cable! Hope this helped

I believe the computer only had Display Port out and you'll need an adapter. did you use an adapter? http://www.amazon.com/Startech-DP2HDMI-DisplayPort-Adapter-Converter/dp/B0017K6BDW

If you have an USB port then you can add this device to setup a dual monitor with HP all in one. Check the port and see if it's USB3.0 (blue connector in the center of the port), if not, then it's USB2.0 and it will probably run choppier with videos.

This device with the use of you USB2/3 port will creat an HDMI port. The TV via HDMI you attach it to will become a second monitor on your PC.

If you have a display port output on your desktop and a VGA input on your television. If you are not sure if you have a display port on the desktop check the outputs available before purchasing. Honestly, this cable is low quality and digital to analog connection produces a poor picture. You are much better off with HDMI if available on desktop tower / television.

I just bought an HP Pavilion dv7-4270us which has an hdmi port. I want to hook it up to watch stream Netflix to a Toshiba 40RV525R which also has an hdmi port. What else do I need to do or be concerned about? How much should I spend on this cable - there are some really cheap ones out there.

Be sure your old computer has an HDMI output (if so it is likely the graphics card will provide a signal suitable for HDTV). Obviously, the TV needs to have a VGA-type input. This unit does not allow a VGA output from a computer to do an HDMI input into a TV. (Which is what I suspect you are looking for).

since most HP AIO and TouchSmart computers have no video output of any kind, you need to use a USB-to-video adpater to connect a second display to your computer. Amazon sells these. As a starter Try http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-External-Video-Monitor-Adapter/dp/B005G306I2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1384809487&sr=8-1&keywords=usb-to-video+adapter I haven't tried this, but it's supposed to work.

dont know. I am hooked up to VGA. HP monitors are good, this may be a design anomoly.

I'm not sure if this wil be a helpful answer, but here goes ... The HP monitor gets it's signal and power through the USB port, and it required that I install a special driver. It doesn't use a video card, external or otherwise. I use this USB monitor attached to my laptop, to which I also attach an external VGA monitor. So I get three screens but not in the way you want to do it. I have had absolutely no trouble with the USB monitor at all. I would suggest giving it a try. Order it and see if it works, and return it if it doesn't.
