I want to connect my Lenovo IdeaPad (HDMI) to an HP monitor (VGA). Will this cable work for me?

My husband is the real expert in this area, but after an inspection of my LG TV I see that we have the cord plugged into a HDMI input on the TV. I think that this cord only goes from HDMI to HDMI. If your VGA TV also has a HDMI port it would work, but if you only have VGA, then this cable is NOT for you. I hope that answer is helpful!

Edited answer: Monitor is VGA, no this will not work. HDMI and DVI are both digital signals. VGA is analog. DVI carries additional VGA pins that can be adapted to VGA, but those pins to not exist in a VGA header. You need a specialty adapter or a DVI/HDMI capable monitor for this to work.

It should work. The monitor has a VGA (15-pin D-sub) input. Most laptops have a VGA output. I use my E173FP with my Toshiba Satellite and other laptops/desktops/servers on occasion. If the laptop has a DVI or HDMI output instead, there are DVI or HDMI-to-VGA adapters (or cables) available separately from computer/electronics stores.

Don't ask me why, but I believe it only works with Lenovo laptops with HDMI. Conversely, I have tried every other adapter for my Lenovo laptop to connect to another display and it did not connect until I bought this adapter. This adapter worked excellent with my Lenovo laptop.

Yes, just check for your laptop video output, all you need is the hdmi cable or vga.

Hello, just look at the monitor's port for the power cable. If the port's shape is similar then it should work. That's what I did with my AC adapter for my laptop. It like any power cord that comes with any electronic.

Asus are supposed to be releasing a specific mini hdmi to vga adapter; it's been shown off as an accessory but there hasn't been any pricing or release information given as of yet. Until then, there are other cables/adapters that seem to work including one from HP (- it needs a mini hdmi to hdmi adapter in order to use it with the transformer); you may wish to check out this thread on XDA Developers that discusses it in further detail. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1088243 Robert

It should if DELL says the laptop outputs VGA signals via the HDMI port and your monitor accepts digital and not analogue signals (depends on how old it is). You might need to get a HDMI-VGA convertor otherwise; another option would be to get a newer monitor with HDMI. it's only $5 so worth a try, let us know how it goes. Good luck!

dont know. I am hooked up to VGA. HP monitors are good, this may be a design anomoly.

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

It only comes with a VGA cord. the vga to hdmi adapter should work fine. The quality won't be as good of course, but it will work. You could just hook into the VGA plug on the back of the monitor as well. I am using a StarTech HDMI(male) to DVI(female) converter, since the PC comes with DVI and that works very well.

Hi Jennifer. I think it should work just fine. My laptop only has an HDMI port as well and this adapter works great for PowerPoint projectors and monitors. It was a convenient, low cost work around. Good luck!

As far as I can tell that laptop dose not have an HDE DVI or VGA what you need on the laptop and or monitors is something that looks like this http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/94/VGA_female_connector.jpg and if your lap top has this your monitors (or if you monitors have it you laptop ) needs something that looks like this http://images10.newegg.com/NeweggImage/ProductImageCompressAll300/12-119-042-05.jpg on it. Upon further inspection you would use this cable to connect you HP Pavilion Laptop to your hp 2011x monitor and you would need a HDMI cable for the hp pavilion laptop to your hp envy 23 monitor hook up.Hope this helps.

Yes, hard ware wise, this should be the correct cord IF your laptop has the standard "15-pin holes" (female) vga port. It'll enable you to connect to a TV W/hdmi input. You may want to bring your laptop with you when you buy the TV so the sales agent can had directly help you. Hope you find this helpful. Jc :)

I really would not know the exact specs. I have a monitor which has a DVI port. I plugged this into that DVI port and then connected a HDMI cable to the other end of the connector. That cable ran to a HDMI port in my Lenovo computer. I would say that if you are connecting a computer with a DVI port to a tv that has a HDMI port it would work. I have a laptop that I hooked up to my TV with the old 9 pin VGA cable and it worked fine although I had to hook up audio jacks between the laptop and TV as well. So if you are trying to send video signal out from a DVI port to a HDMI port I would say it would work just fine. That is basically what I am doing.

Yes, but it's a short adapter, so you'll probably need at least a 3' DVI cable, depending on how far you monitor is going to sit from your laptop.

Hi Patricia - Yes it should work. I had the same issue with a laptop docking station. I use this to add a second VGA monitor and it works great!

I am not quite sure of the question but I will try to help.... The VGA port is the standard port that a monitor would use to connect to. You would not use this to connect a VGA output from a laptop to HDMI. This is the revers of that. This takes HDMI input to VGA output.
