I have a TV that only has HDMI and my PC only has VGA, will this work to connect my old PC to the TV ?

This depends on the video output of the PC. A friend of mine had a simular senario trying to connect a Samsung Smart TV that had only HDMI output to an Emachine desktop that only had VGA. It didnt work.

This is precisely why I bought it, and it worked fine. You might check the cord length to see if it is appropriate to your needs.

No, it is too damn short to be of any use. If you find one long enough it should work.

I was able to connect my Samsumg lapton (vga) to my LG TV (HDMI) and it worked just fine

well my TV was hdmi and my PC that i built was VGA it didn't work; i got a used video card that had a hdmi connector and it worked. this cable is for connecting hdmi to VGA cabble

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.

Yes, all you need is a HDMI or VGA cable if your TV has a VGA port and your computer should recognize the screen, I would use HDMI cable though.

Provided you have a HMDI,DVI,or lighting port on your computer, yes. You may need an adapter cable, but virtually any computer in the last couple decades will be able output a signal the TV will use.

Bought mine for the other way around - PC graphics card had HDMI and I wanted to connect to an old VGA monitor. It worked but it may not work for PC VGA out to TV HDMI in. I reference the product description where it says "HDMI to VGA / RCA cable is designed to connect and transfer signals from HDMI port to VGA / RCA port". It doesn't specifically call out a reverse capability. It's so cheap however and has free shipping that you could take a chance and find our for yourself.

I don't think so. Probably you will need a vga adapter (from computer) to an RCA video connectors output for your TV. I suggest search Amazon for VGA to RCA Video adapter cable and see what you find. Your TV will need the RCA Video jacks on the back, or the small din type jack on the back. Look behind and see what you have in way of auxiliary video inputs. That is what you will need. ......... tony

can i use the hdmi output on my laptom and connect a VGA cable to my tv to watch videos?

I do not believe it will. The VGA is the input, and the output is HDMI. It sounds like you need to convert from the HDMI to VGA.

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.

It would probably only work if you're using a DVI cable variant that has the four pins and therefore sends an analog signal. The video below explains the difference between DVI and VGA and how different pins send analog or digital signals.https://youtu.be/f38sotYHqtA

Your VGA monitor will work but sound will need to be hooked up to another audio device to listen to. I use an RCA to 1/8" stereo adapter to run the audio to my line input on my PC and use the PC speakers. So you would use the white and red from your receiver for audio and the yellow RCA is your video to the converter.

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

Yes, you can connect your PC to Samsung TV that has HDMI in, as long as your PC has video out (yellow). My suggestion is buy the vga to hdmi rather than rgb to hdmi,

There are wireless devices like Bluetooth that will work. Yes VGA will work but still need to run cable. They sell that cable in 100' bundles and will be the least cost and best results.

I have seen several converters under 20 dollars. Search Amazon with the name of the connection ends: in this case try "PC to TV connector" or VGA to TV adapter".

I believe it will work to make the connection yes, but please be advised that you will end up with a hdmi to vga connection, and whetever devices you are connecting may not be able to communicate that way. Some devices that pass info over hdmi are not putting out the kind of info that can be understood by a vga port...

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.

Yes, but it doesn't have sound and you'll need an adapter to go from VGA to A/V or something similar (PC Computer VGA to TV S-Video 3 RCA AV Adapter Cable - 336047)http://www.rakuten.com/prod/pc-computer-vga-to-tv-s-video-3-rca-av-adapter-cable/219946686.html?listingId=132699671
