Mine didn't work. I asked for a replacement but its been over a month and nothing has arrived so far. I have been sent tracking numbers so I think they tried sending a new one but it just hasn't arrived. I wouldn't buy this if I were you. In theory it should work though. VGA is analog and thus is a lower resolution than HDMI. I'm going to buy a whole new monitor that supports DVI rather than dealing with the crappy quality of my VGA monitor. Its up to you man I wouldn't buy though.

Well, this item is not the solution you are look for, look for a hdmi to vga converte.

This cable takes connection from the VGA end to the HDMI, and it should work if that's how you intend to use it.

this adaptor converts from usb to RS232 serial. If that is what you are trying to do it will work well. It is not for VGA as that is a video format.

I bought a VGA converter from Microsoft, you will need it if you want to make it work, I had my 360 work with it just fine, but the screen starts blinking after 2 years I bought it.

This one will work so copy and paste it into Amazon search:HDE 1080p HDMI Male to VGA Female Video Converter Adapter Cable for PC, TV, Laptops, DVD Players, and Other HDMI Devices

You need the convertor adaptor to do so.....I done it before for HDMI, but never try VGA.

Worked for me on similar resolution monitor, and I have second identical monitor with hdmi input. Only difference is vga adaptor does not support audio (hdmi will) - resolution is identical.

It's not that kind of adapter, you should try something like this: SYBA Universal VGA to HDMI Converter with Audio Support, Adapter for PC, Laptop, DVD, Desktop, SY-ADA31025

Greg:I just remembered, in the quick set up manual there is a diagram for hooking up your computer to the Samsung using an HDMI cable. This assumes you have an HDMI output on your computer. This would give you the highest quality resolution on the set ( it will still be limited to 1440 by 900 though). There is opinion out there that you would be hard pressed to tell the differnce between VGA and HDMI at that resolution. You could try both and see which looks best.

i just received my converter, plugged it into my computer monitor (with HDMI) and the picture/ sound cuts in and out. The Monitor says "no input detected". i wait a few seconds and it comes back. I wonder if mine is defective?

I have both HDMI and VGA connections on my HDTV, but the VGA didn't work until I bought a VGA/HDMI converter box. They're not expensive (mine was $10) I have an older Dell tower that's been refurbished but didn't have the HDMI connection, so the converter box was an inexpensive way to go.

no you would still need a convertor to convert the analog vga signal to the hdmi digital signal, this cable cannot do it alone without a convertor or a very limited type of vga card that converts it for you

based on what i found on the internet before buying the converter, the converter is supposed to do all the work, vga is vga and rca is rca, the only setting you should need to adjust on your computer is the resolution

This adapter should allow you to convert your HDMI output to a VGA signal. I am using it to go from an Apple TV with HDMI signal out to a projector with VGA input.
