Possibly. If your HDTV has a component video input, then most likely yes. However, you might take a moment and read the other comments about 1080p resolution concerns.

If your TV has composite AV input (red, white and yellow RCA jacks, yes, but you won't get HD resolution when using that input as the source. That's because composite cables don't support HD resolution. About the best you can expect is 480p.

I highly doubt this will solve the issue, since what it does is only to convert HD quality from the HDMI to RCA, this sounds more like the cable doesn't work or you need another type of HDMI cable with more capacity, I would recommend going to radio shack

I couldn't get mine to connect either. I purchased the HDMI adapter and it worked fine. I can only assume that the cable has a problem. Too bad because I really wanted the longer cable.

Your TV MUST have a VGA imput Plug IN and also an INPUT jack for Audio... 3.5 standard. If it doesn't have either of these then you can not connect your laptop to your TV that way. Maybe you just need a HDMI cable.

it is FROM HDMI -> TO VGA - not from VGA to HDMI (different cable)You can connect HDMI port on your laptop to VGA monitor but not the other way . Hope this helps

I just got my converter today and it is not working! I have an ASUS laptop with HDMI out and I am trying to connect it to my older VGA monitor.

Just use HDMI from your laptop to the monitor, it's a better interface. That's the way mine is connected.

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.

It sounds like you did everything correct. Try other ports on the TV. My tv has PC, HDMI 1 and 2 and when I have my laptop hooked up to the tv I have to use the HDMI 2 setting. Good luck.

At our school we found this product to be completely ineffectual in all possible configurations. We tried hdmi out -> VGA in = nothing. We reversed that. Nothing. The same results with the yellow video line. Check the small print from the seller and you'll find they warn it only works if the devices being connected have built in conversion. Otherwise, nothing. You may need a converter, not just a cable. Rad up on your laptop's hdmi output... Good luck!

This product did not work for me to go from VGA to HDMI. I believe this product goes the other way (HDMI to VGA). Additionally, the VGA connection you need, needs to be a male connection to connect to the female port on your computer. This is the product that worked for me. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EV6AARC/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

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.

Yes, hard ware wise, this should be the correct cord IF your laptop has the standard "15-pin holes" (female) vga port. It'll enable you to connect to a TV W/hdmi input. You may want to bring your laptop with you when you buy the TV so the sales agent can had directly help you. Hope you find this helpful. Jc :)
