If your computer has a DVI output you will get the video part. Most desktops can be adapted with the right video card and some come with DVI output already in them. Audio is more tricky. I don't know of any with S/PDIF output. I think you might be better off with a DVI with RCA L+R for audio.

In my opinion, not only is prepared to write not to play, there should be some device for this function.

If your PC has an HDMI output you can. Alternatively, you can purchase a USB to HDMI display adapter online that will also work well.

yes you can, but you will need to use the HDMI input otherwise you will have to use the audio ports on the computer.

I believe you should be able to as long as you have the correct mini to regular slots. I myself use the mini HDMI to HDMI for my graphics card to TV. I regularly stream movies, play dvd and blu-rays and game with the afore mentioned cord. this has been a great cord for my PC and TV. after reading other comments make sure you need a mini HDMI to HDMI cord. you may need a micro hdmi to HDMI cord. check your equipment out because it WILL make a difference! best of luck!

I don't see why not. I used it to stream high def video files on my pc. Although, sometimes if I'm watching something and copying large amounts of info it may skip a little.

Suggest you purchase the Component cable (DMW-HDC2) for viewing your movies and pictures in high def on a HD TV. You will be amazed.....

I wondered the same thing. It took me a month to figure out- and then believe it's really that simple- that YES, I can simply connect my high-end laptop to my mid-range flat screen TV, by HDMI to HDMI ports on each device, and stream anything I could get on my laptop, directly onto my flatscreen TV... But, why on earth WOULD I WANT TO? YES- You CAN do it, but why bother? If you do use your PC as a live stream (to TV) device, then every time you want to watch live-stream TV (vs. cable TV), you have to remove your laptop from it's current location (ie, maybe you were using it earlier,

Yes--as long as your computer can accept an HDMI input. Most computers would have only an HDMI output.

No, this is for connecting to your TV and streaming apps you normally have on mobile of computer to your HD TV.

I believe you should be able to. You might want a splitter to remove HDCP. That will guarantee that it will work. Otherwise, I'm not sure but positive.

No. You need hdmi or component cable for that.HD in this case is for heavy duty.

It will only work if your HDTV has a VGA input. I've never done this myself, but I'm assuming it would if the TV has VGA capabilities.

I have connected this computer to my large HD TV, via HDMI and it works great to watch streaming video. It switched automatically to display whats on the computer screen to display it via the HDMI port.

No the device will not provide HDCP so any output applicaiton that requires it is not going to work. I HAVE used this on an Apple TV but I have not tried watching rentals with it, I only used it for the slideshow use, and it didnt adapt to the geometry of my screen very well and so I moved on pretty quickly.

No, you can run a hdmi from it to a TV and play movies on the TV but it does not server as a monitor for external devices. It is however a great little play, use it alot, suggest getting an additional usb power pack, extends the play time. www.newtrent.com sells some good ones, sometime great sales

I believe the device only handles HDMI. So if you output that format from your PC it ought to work.

It is worth considering whether or not the signal has HDCP encryption on it. If you're using it to display the output of a PC, it will work as you describe. But if you're trying to convert an HDMI output from something like a BluRay player, it may not (and likely will not) work, because of the HDCP encryption coming from the BluRay signal.
