If you have an empty USB port, then this will work. I hooked up a monitor from my Dell laptop and it works fine.

I bought this connector for that exact purpose. that said, it did not work for me.

That is exactly how I'm using it. The HDMI is plugged into my Dell laptop, and it is connected to a VGA older monitor so I can have a second screen. It works like a charm!

If you have an extra display port not in use on the laptop and you want to connect it to a VGA monitor you would want to get this, otherwise no it wouldn't. You probably want a USB to (DVI, HD, VGA) adaptor so you can add an extra display adaptor.

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.

I am not using the adapter for that purpose. My need was to connect a second monitor to my desktop and it works perfectly. Installation was easy, plug the monitor cable into the adapter and plug the adaptor to the DVI port on the computer. Done, now have two monitors.

There is an adapter bracket that will let you attach this to a VESA mount. It's available on Amazon here VESA Mount Adapter Bracket for HP Monitors 2011x, 2211x, 2311x, 2511x, 2711x - by HumanCentric

Not really what this is made for. if you have a GPU mounted HDMI and you just want to run a cable to a standard VGA monitor (W/O sound) just get a HDMI to VGA cable. This is to connect a PC with VGA only to something like a TV or projector.

There should be 2 VGA ports IIRC and an HDMI. Try it with a different monitor too!!

I just returned my HP Envy 27-inch monitor to Amazon. I too have a 2012 MacBook Pro (13") and attempted to hook it up to the monitor via HDMI (adapted from thunderbolt? - not the mini video port of old). The picture was horrible, fonts were unreadable. A 90-minute call to HP support revealed that they have no driver support for Mac and all the fiddling with the settings on the Mac did not solve the problem. Oddly, I have my MacBook Pro hooked up to an older HP 23" monitor via HDMI and it works like a charm. Not sure what the difference is between the two monitors, but there it is.

You are correct, this box only boosts and splits the identical output to 2 monitors. If you want to EXTEND your desktop to a second or third monitor, and your equipment doesn't already have a dual monitor video card (or if it is a laptop), then you need a device like the Plugable (brand) devices found on Amazon, which are USB to VGA/DVI/HDMI Adapters. There are at least 3 different models, one for USB 2.0 and one for USB 3.0, at various max resolutions and prices. Hope this helps!

You can definately add an external monitor that has mini hdmi. If you still have the older vga cable then no. It may be possible to get some sort of connector that allows you to swap down from VGA to mini hdmi, but I haven't looked and not doubt they would probably be quite expensive.

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!

There is one HDMI port and one DVI port. So you will need an adapter. However, I wouldn't advise hooking up an additional monitor without upgrading the graphics card.

Yes, one to VGA & the other to HDMI. You may need an adapter. You can extend or mirror the two displays. See - Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Display\Screen Resolution. Had no issues.

"The desktop I'm connecting this monitor to does not have an HDMI port"Then what ports does your desktop have, a DVI-D port? Great, the HP monitor has a DVI-D port too! Just use the DVI-D cable that is supplied in the box with the monitor and you should be good to go.

I purchased this HDMI male to VGA female adapter to connect my PC (HDMI) to my ViewSonic projector (VGA). According to what you described, I think what you need is VGA male to HMDI female adapter (exactly the opposite direction). Hope this will help.

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

Yes, if you have a monitor that has a HDMI input, you can run a HDMI cable from the HP 14 to the monitor. You can "mirror" where both screens are the same, or you can "extend" where each screen has it's own area.
