Will the converter work with DOS text mode at the VGA input? (720x400 @ 70 Hz)

Most likely not. That converter takes whatever line resolution it gets in and sends that out directly to the HDMI port. Most HDMI displays won't be compatible with 600x400 or smaller image.

Yes this unit will operate at 720x400 @ 70 htz in DOS mode. Please let us know if you have more questions.

It just a 2X1 switch. It's not changing or converting anything. If your computer has a HDMI output, it should work.

No, it will not. You must have an 'active adapter' that converts the digital signal (i.e. DVI) from your adapter to analog (i.e. VGA) into your monitor. I purchased the StarTech.com DVI2VGAE 1920x1200 DVI-D to VGA Active Adapter Converter Cable from Amazon to do what you're describing.

Yes, that's what it does -- RCA (or s-video) to VGA. It works, but the quality is very poor.

No, According to what I found out the HDMI output from the laptop is digital and VGA is analog. Need a converter.

Haven't tried that, but as DVI-D is pure digital and VGA is pure analog you might need a converter as well. If my computer only had VGA I would consider getting a new one. Dell has decent desktop PCs for $400 or so.

Probably not. This converter is for changing an HDMI signal into a VGA signal. Not the other way around. If your PC/Laptop has HDMI out, just use an HDMI cable. If your computer has VGA out, just buy a VGA to HDMI cable.

You need the convertor adaptor to do so.....I done it before for HDMI, but never try VGA.

It won't work because the VGA port on your laptop is an output not an input.

No, you need a converter that will cost about 30$ or so. BTW be sure its RCA or S-video TO VGA and not the other way around. Those do work.

It works well for bnc to vga monitors. It has three resolution settings to give you what you need.

I'm going to assume that you are referring to the converter to monitor. Your VGA monitor should have a "menu" or "setup" button. Figure out how to get to the on-screen menu on the monitor and setup the vertical and horizontal height and width. The monitor manual would help if you have one.

With the Right adapter yes. it has a digital out as well as the VGA, look on Directronics.

It should... Any device that outputs VGA can drive this converter. Any device that accepts HDMI will accept the output from this converter. There are no controls on this device.

I plugged it into my Dell Laptop using the supplied cable (this means yes to VGA) - no problem at all, great, bright display. That's what I wanted, I never counted the other ports, suggest you read the specs.
