Although I've never prrsonally tried it, in theory you should be able too. Look to insure your games specifications as some may be too advanced to be compatible. Remember this device is purposed to allow one to continue using outdated components. Good luck

u may be able to use the USB port to connect it your TV if your TV has the USB port (i don't).

YES. As long as your TV and laptop both have HDMI ports. I use it exactly for that - HDMI on laptop to HDMI on TV. Is wonderful because it also carries audio on the HDMI cable so you can easily watch movies (say from iTunes) on TV too.

If you are trying to send video from the laptop to the TV, I don't think so. The old TV requires the video be sent on a "channel". This will not make the video on a channel. I use mine to send video from an old VCR to a HDMI input of a HDTV.

VGA is only for the Visual section, if your laptop came with a Audio Jack, theirs many different kinds one is yellow and only one type of connection, and the other is a normal speaker jack that might work only if the TV has a connection for the speaker jack in the back of it...hope this works if all else fails go to your local Computer store and by an adapter specially made for conversion from the PC to the TV... best of luck

This has a digital connection (white) and VGA (blue) connection. If your laptop has one of the same connections it should work.

The box will take in three HDMI signals and send it to one source. I have my cable box and PS4 hooked up to the same wall-mounted television. If your laptop can connect via HDMI, it will also work. But there are only HDMI outlets.

TV HDMI are normally "input" not "output" so probably not. It will take a laptop HDMI out to TV's PC (VGA) in just fine.

Not by itself, no, because your laptop (most likely) has a female VGA port, and this converter is female VGA to male HDMI; you would need either a male VGA to male HDMI converter or male-to-male VGA to connect between your laptop and the converter in question. I know that you can definitely down-convert, as I use this converter quite regularly to output an HDMI (high-def digital) signal from my laptop into an analog, low-def signal VGA input in a projector for presentations, but I'm not sure you can do the reverse, or if such cables exist. Best of luck...

Yes, I use it to hook up my laptop, Xbox 360, and PS4 to the same TV and it works like a charm!

Yes, but only if the tv is of a certain type. You can not connect the computer to a tv that is too old. The older sets are not set up to handle the signal translation.

I haven't tried that, but you can hook it up through a tv. I would imagine the game system would work if it is one which just plugs into those plugs on a regular tv.

Read your Toshiba manual. If it states you have a "mini HDMI" connection, then you are good to go. Note: your TV must have a HDMI connection.

No! You will have to use another method such as via your vga (video) port or other a/v port if your laptop has one. You may also be able to use USB to HDMI method but I cannot guarantee that it will work with your laptop.

Yes it will work! The unit has HDMI out. It also extremely short range (5 feet) and needs a direct line of site. Nothing can be in the way between the TV and laptop. Get something like Warpia StreamHD instead!

Yes. You will attach the VGA to the laptop VGA port then attach the HDMI to one of the TV HDMI ports, make sure both are off then turn the TV on first then , the laptop. Use the projector settings on the laptop etc.

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.
