Does it work with a VGA to HDMI converter? What model/brand do you use?

Hi again, you should take a look for VGA - DVI scalers. From there convert the DVI to HDMI. For example, Gefen makes a VGA-DVI Scaler Plus, or Extron makes a RGB-DVI 300(?). The key is to be able to scale the popular 1920x1200 output from your projector to 1920 x 1080.

Sorry, I can't answer that. I used it from the VGA output on an older laptop to a standard HDMI input on my TV.

That is the reason I purchased it. It did not work. This converts hdmi to vga. Not vga to hdmi which is what we need. With what I have learned it only works one way.

I'm sorry, but I have to correct James C. Kenny's answer. It absolutely, positively matters. This adapter, as most others, CAN NOT work VGA --> HDMI. You can find some that will do VGA --> HDMI, but you'll get mixed results. The ones that do work usually have an external power supply attached.

This one will work so copy and paste it into Amazon search:HDE 1080p HDMI Male to VGA Female Video Converter Adapter Cable for PC, TV, Laptops, DVD Players, and Other HDMI Devices

It works for me--going from hdmi on the output of my amplifier to the vga input on my projector

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

No, i obtained this cable mainly to do that with my tv but you must have a video card specific for it. VGA does not go to HDMI with just one cord, I recommend using a VGA to VGA cord instead

It should work with a VGA to HDMI, but it will not work HDMI to VGA. I only tested the latter. I hope that helps.

Pretty sure this model is DVI out - that is the HDMI variant, not the VGA variant. If you have a DVI to VGA adaptor it will work, but if you don't have an HDMI monitor you should start there instead.

No, this is a serial to USB adapter. It has nothing to do with VGA or video.

Yes it does convert HDMI to VGA. I use it with my Microsoft Surface RT tablet and connect it to my HP screen. I also tried it with my Nokia 808 pureview cellphone and it worked as well. Its great if you want to use a keyboard and mouse with your cellphone or tablet and connect it to you screen. I guess it can also be used with projectors as well.

No. This cable is useless - you have to have an interface adapter to mate VGA to HDMI.

only if your laptop has a very specific vga card, you would actually need a vga to hdmi that has a in line convertor, some people have bought this wire not knowing that it won't work

Hi!Actually, this is not as straightforward as just a cable ... I have an mini HDMI to HDMI that works great to connect my Transformer to several HDMI devices and have watched streamed TV shows in full HiDef with NO hiccups. VGA is another animal (think fish vs mammal ... ;-) ), HDMI is a DIGITAL signal, and VGA is ANOLOG. You can't just "connect" them, you must CONVERT them. Monoprice.com has very good quality cables & convertors at very reasonable prices if you don't find one you like here on Amazon.

It didn't work to connect my hdmi pc to my vga monitor. I had to buy HDMI Input to VGA Adapter Converter For PC Laptop NoteBook HD DVD. Also, it wouldn't work from my old vga pc to a hdmi tv.
