MANUFACTURER ANSWER: Thanks for posting your question here, Biji! As USB 3.0 is backward compatible with USB 2.0, you can connect this product to a USB 2.0 port on the system. However, the USB 3.0 product drops down to USB 2.0 mode. We do not recommend playing video intensive applications on any display that is connected via USB 2.0 because of the lag caused by bandwidth limitations of USB 2.0. If you need any additional information, please do feel free to shoot us an email at support@plugable.com. We are here to help! Thanks! Regards, Roze Plugable Technologies

You can but the picture will be very pixelated. You can try a few of the usb 2.0 adapters but off a laptop my guess is you won't have the best of picture either way.

I used one of these to connect an Acer laptop to a Vizio 37 inch TV. It works fine with Windows 7. The Acer has a VGA port on it to use with a VGA monitor plug.I also have a Toshiba laptop with Ubuntu. The background picture and the start bar buttons are visible but nothing else. However, practically no one uses Ubuntu, so it doesn't matter.

I always connect using a VGA cable however I saw in the owners manual that you can use a USB to connect a laptop

I assume you are asking for an adapter that allows you to connect your laptop to a TV's htmi port. If you laptop has a VGA port which is very common for older or heavier laptop computers, you will need a VGA male to hdmi cable. Not this one. This is for an ultra lightweight laptop that has only micro hdmi port to connect to a screen or projector that has only VGA port.

Keep in mind this is only a converter. It does a wonderful job of converting SDI into HDMI. With that said, as long as you have the proper capture device between your computer and the converters HDMI output I don't see any reason why you couldn't use it for live streaming.

No you need a VGA to HDMI converter http://www.amazon.com/SANOXY%C2%AE-Black-Adapter-Converter-Laptop/dp/B007KFVQXI

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!

I used a very old sony vaio and it worked very well. Do not forget to remove the jumper for the pc to boot.

You would likely need an adapter or two. This does not have an HDMI port in the laptop, so you would have to convert a VGA connection to HDMI. You might be better suited with a Chromecast or ROKU device if you want to stream content to your TV from your network.

You could potentially use it via a USB connection with a converter, but it's really designed for direct connection to a live streaming provider.

I don't own vado but wondering if there is anything like that you mentioned. HDMI webcam. So you can connect straight to TV while recording.

There are converters that will take the signal from the laptop to your television! I used a USB to video cable to do just this until I went HDMI. So, yes, you can. It may look a little weird depending on the screen orientation and pixel ratio from laptop to TV, but you should be able to! Good luck!

No. You need a USB to HDMI cable. But if your laptop has a display port (usually bigger than your USB port) then you can use this

If your laptop has an HDMI port on it it will connect through the switch. I have connected my laptop to the TV and receiver using the monoprice 4x2 switch. I have owned this for about a year now and I havent had a single problem with it.

no.It is not capable of recognizing operating systems.The usb works as a input,not output.In other words not both ways.It does play mp4s from a usb thumb drive,but output via hdmi.so you'ld have to have hdmi input on laptop or tv/monitor.

I have the same monitor as you do trying to connect a Vaio with this cable... and was able to connect a bit higher res, but not 2560x1440. I've been looking around for solutions too, but sadly laptop output display specs also seem to be a spec that falls by the wayside.
