I have hooked this adapter up to multiple TV's...and I get nothing. Lenovo laptop VGA to Samsung or Vizio HDMI. Neither TV can find a signal thoughts?

This converter is made to connect an HDMI output on a computer to a VGA input on a monitor (or tv). That is why it isn't working for you.

As indicated in the name of this item, it is an HDMI-to-VGA converter, not a VGA-to-HDMI converter. HDMI is the input. VGA is the output.

it might not be compatible this way it may be only backwards compatible HDMI from the laptop to VGA the TV. I only have experience trying to dumb down component for TV. I don't know if it speeds up VGA to HDMI. Sorry I can't help.

I used this adapter to connect my lenovo U410 ultrabook to my AOC monitor, not to TV. The audio is provided by the Lenovo U410 speakers. Only transfer video to VGA port in the monitor.

This adapter coverts a HDMI signal to VGA, so your computer must have an HDMI output.It DOES NOT convert computer VGA output to HDMI input for your TV.

I bought an Asus 1000HE earlier in the year. Love it! Just bought a 26 inch Panasonic Viera TV. There is a VGA input on the TV. I found a VGA cable, both sides have the dual screw head, and tried to do a simple connection from Asus to Viera. Didn't work. Do I need another cable? One without screws on one side. Thank you.

So far this cable is working fantastically for me.Your problem might be your laptops' settings. Make sure it's set to mirror your screen and not set to use a secondary display.

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.

I don't know, I threw my cable away because it shorted out my last lap top, which may have been my fault. I used the HDMI hook-up on my then lap top and used the VGA hook up to my TV and it killed my lap top, which would have been more to fix it then buying a new one. I do know, that HDMI is an output always.

I bought a new laptop (Lenovo Ideapad). It didn't have VGA connection...it only had HDMI. So I bought this converter and it worked - but the resolution on my VGA screen was "fuzzy" for lack of a better term. I messed with the resolution settings in the control panel / display settings - but nothing i did would make it "crisp and sharp" - like it was before when I was on my old computer which was VGA to VGA. I thought that maybe it was because my screen was 10+ years old that maybe that was the issue when using the HDMI to VGA converter? Anyway, I Googled the issue "HDMI to VGA Resolution Loss" and found a host of comments, some experts on what the issue is when doing this and why it happens. (unfortunately for me, the operating system on the new laptop would not support the resolution settings that i needed if i wanted to get a clear/higher res picture on this old vga monitor) Ultimately, i had to bite the bullet and go buy a brand new LG monitor, which i must say i love, it has the split screen feature so i can turn it into 3 screens in 1! (it was not cheap at $800+ though!) This HDMI to VGA cord is sitting in my drawer (aka the burial ground for old cords, chargers, & obsolete wires) If you want it, it's yours for free, i'm happy to pop it in the mail. Maybe the chromebook can do it better than my old Lenovo that was 5 years old.... Cheers, Carl Wagner. cwagner@benchmarkdestinations.com

tell me what outputs your laptop has. if nothing else...your LT probably has hdmi out...run that to your tv direct and use the headphone out and an adaptor cable to run that to the hk

I've gone thru with http://www.ramelectronics.com/ and talked to one of their lead tech support. He said "unless I have an adapter ( which is around $300) for the signal scaling from pc to tv", a simple converter will not work. They also sell vga to hdmi cables.

I've been having trouble with my adapter. I have a sharp 52" hdtv and I plug my phone and it will show on the screen but the video will then go black and come back then go black again. Right before the tv goes black it states there was an incompatible audio signal... Anyone help plz

This is not an adapter. This is a HD converter. I have a very old laptop without an HDMI port. This converts the signal to HD so I can use my HD TV as a computer monitor. If this is actually what you are looking for, it should work with all Windows OS's. I am no expert but I have Windows 7.

I have no idea if it works I bought this adapter because I have a notebook that has HDMI and my TV does not RGB but I tried it and it did not work possibly do not support my notebook with my TV does not mean that the cable does not work may not are compatible

It works on the mini display port on my Lenovo running Win 8.1 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mini_Display_Port I've seen a number of 1:1 adapters that will fit these ports (mostly HDMI: mini-display port) but I needed one that could accept incoming from both a standard display port cable and an HDMI cable.

I have both HDMI and VGA connections on my HDTV, but the VGA didn't work until I bought a VGA/HDMI converter box. They're not expensive (mine was $10) I have an older Dell tower that's been refurbished but didn't have the HDMI connection, so the converter box was an inexpensive way to go.

i had this connection before i changed to new comp. VGA male extension from comp to converter, the converter must be analog to dig signal. then add extension from the converter to hdmi tv. must have converter or it won't work
