I don't have an HDMI port on my television. I have that port on my Toshiba lap top. Can I use the computer instead of the tv?

Your laptop port is most likely an output port, not an input port. I doubt it. But once configured and set up, you can use your laptop and view and control the system that way.

Probably. I have a separate monitor hooked up to the security system instead of my tv.

Yes... the system comes with software so u can use computer but the hdmi on your laptop is most likely an output... the camera system does also have a VGA output so u can use a monitor. If u connect the laview to your router and just use some form of tv or monitor to setup the network on the system then u can use ur laptop to view the system... You can find used vGA monitors cheap these days for ur needs. I recommend this system for the price... IMO it's great!

As long as your computer has HDMI out, you can plug that into this unit's input. Then, connect the outs to your monitor, and TV

You should be able to use an HDMI out from your laptop along with a USB to the monitor, and use it as a large touch tablet. You may need to change some settings, but you can close the laptop and only use the external monitor if you want.

A number of HDTV's have VGA ports, Just a little extra room in your laptop bag for a VGA cable. You would also need an audio cable to go from laptop to TV. HDMI can carry Audio & Video.

If your computer has an HDMI port to connect to the TV. I found the VGA connection to be rather poor. But when i connected through the HDMI it was flawless.

Yes, if you laptop has HDMI port, you just need an HDMI male-to-male cable. If you laptop has a DVI port, you need to purchase a DVI-to-HDMI cable with DVI audio support (e.g. not all DVI cables support audio)

Using HDMI, yes. However, since computer monitors aren't designed for TV viewing, you may not get the quality of an HD TV.

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

No. The coaxial port is for audio. It is not a video port. There is no way to plug your cable box into your laptop and use the screen to watch TV. You can get some sort of online streaming service through your cable provider to do that.

My notebook does not have an HDMI output port, so I can't personally test it, but I can think of no reason that it wouldn't work between HDMI output on a computer and HDMI input on a TV.

You can use the Mediabridge VGA to component video cable. This cable allows you to use the component input,on the Toshiba, as a computer monitor. Even though their isnt a dedicated PC input on the TV using this type of cable gets around that.

No. It has a usb port, headphone jack and a very small earphone jack that I had to use a smaller earphone jack adaptor. But no hdmi port. Use a laptop for that purpose.

This particular laptop does not have an HDMI port. It has a couple of USB ports but no HDMI. It wasn't an issue for us since we already have a laptop that does have an HDMI port. The Asus is a wonderful little laptop for my husband who doesn't have a lot of computer needs. I see that one other person said it did have a port for HDMI. But on this particular model, I don't see it.

You can use a dedicate computer monitor, or tv as a monitor as well with the computer monitor port on it. You could use a tv yo are already using, and then simply switch to that input when you would like to view it. I also beieve that a monitor dips necessary for initial set up as well..recording preferences etc...

No HDMI port, but you should be able to find an adapter that will allow you to go from either VGA or USB to HDMI

Yes, the HDMI port works fine. The only problem most people are reporting with the HDMI functionality is that the driver, as shipped, does not allow the tablet display to be duplicated on the monitor/TV; you can only select "extend" mode or just the monitor/TV screen. A newer driver, available from the Toshiba support site, fixes that. Perhaps you have a defective cable?

You can, but you should be sure that the port on your laptop is a video OUT and not video IN. Check your manufacturer specs to be sure.
