I have an HP 2310e monitor with DVI-D and want to connect it to my Toshiba laptop that has a VGA connection. Will this product allow the 2 to connect?

Hi Rhonda. Yes it absolutely will. I've deployed it at the company I support with the same issue and it's working flawlessly and it was easy to install.

This will work for converting DVI to VGA. The only way it won't work is if the signal is DVI-D which in that case you'll need an active converter. You can tell by looking at the flat part on the DVI connector and see if it has 2 pins above and below it, and if it does it is not DVI-D so it should work.

This Mini-DisplayPort DVI adapter will NOT work with a DVI-VGA adapter. You need a separate adapter for that. I test it myself because I needed it for setting up a presentation and it did not work.

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.

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

It depends on the laptop computers' ability to output SVGA, most all laptops have a (s)vga (Blue) output jack on them and a "function" key that allows toggling between the laptop attached screen, or the output jack or both simultaneously. Hope this helps

Yes, but you'll have to use your VGA to VGA cable to connect to the adapter.

The wire receives VGA and converts it into an HDMI output. So, as long as you have the regular VGA cable connected to the laptop, then yes. But it will not connect the two by itself.

please help. i have a laptop with an hdmi port and i want to be able to connect it to a vga projector. shouldn't this cable be able to do it? i can't get it to work.

No, you would need a VGA to DVI when I bought this it was for a DVI to VGA just get the connection the other way around

Yes you can. Just use a monitor cable such as this one from amazon, C&E; VGA-VGA Standard 15-Pin VGA Male to VGA Male Cable 10 FT $5.80. Plug one end into the monitor and the other end into the female plug on the left side of the laptop. Don't turn the monitor on until plugged in.

So long as the laptop has a dual link dvi output. The resolution of the monitor REQUIRES a dual link dvi. Little adapters and stuff do not work. And DL-DVI is the only available input option for the monitor. So again, unless your laptop has a dual link dvi output, this monitor is not for you.

First the cable VGA connection is female...and so is the VGA connection on your laptop . So, to make this cable work, you would need a double male plug between your computer VGA and the cable VGA. I bought the cable to interface between a projector and laptop. When I plugged the VGA cable into my laptop, the audio (out) on my laptop did not have any output? That killed the deal for me as the saying goes...

It depends on whether you have two monitor connections (i.e. jacks) on that computer. If you don't have two connections, at least one of them being DVI-D, this won't help you at all. If you mean a laptop, where the "monitor" is integrated, the answer would depend on whether that laptop has a DVI-D monitor jack on it, and whether its electronics are designed to drive both the laptop's screen and the monitor jack at the same time (most of them are). DVI-D jacks do NOT have pins/sockets near the blade/slot; if you do have four sockets right around the slot, that is DVI-I, and in that case you can use a much cheaper passive adapter ($5-$8) It depends on whether you have two monitor connections (i.e. jacks) on that computer.

The pictures on line should show the connectors, but yes, it does connect as a VGA monitor. I have mine plugged into my laptop's VGA port.

The monitor supports DVI and VGA inputs so if your laptop can output to either of those then you should be good to go. I have a VGA cable going from my Dell Latitude to the monitor without any problems.
