A hdmi to vga is an adapter that you can plug into your laptop. You plug in one end to your hdmi outport, and the other end is a vga port. Its applications are connecting a television to a computer or laptop monitor.
A VGA Cable.
if your laptop is running windows,you right click on the desktopgraphics options - output to - television
If your laptop has a TV out socket then just buy the relevant cable. If it doesn't, and it _does_ have a standard VGA monitor socket you can get a box that converts this to a format suitable for TV. Ebay for "VGA converter", they cost about $40.
I have had some success with this and then some failure too.Using a Belkin VGA Flip KVM Swithch with a DVI Male to VGA female adapter I was able to get my VGA laptop to work on my TV through my desktop computer. The problem was that my TV now defaulted to the VGA resolutions settings, which meant although I could see the image on my TV the quality was terrible.So I took back the Belking VGA and got the Belkin DVI flip. Now I am not having sucess with this. Although I haven't given up yet.
you need a wireless VGA cable
I have been trying so hard with my laptop and vga cable and my tv but nothing seems to work i have watched piles of tutorials and nothings seems to happen possibly me and you have the same problem...If you find out how to do it or if i do i will inform you
To connect your desktop or laptop computer to your television you will use a vga cable. Information about how to connect the devices can be found at compnetworking.about.com/od/.../a/connect-pc-tv.htm .
A VGA cord would only give you the display from a laptop to a tv and would not be in hd. A hdmi cord is fully hd and also delivers the sound and display to a tv.
Assuming you want to hook up your computer to your television, and your tv has composite or s-video inputs and you computer only has a VGA output, your only real option is to get an adapter that will convert VGA to composite or S-video.
This would depend on the laptop and possibly the television. Some laptops have an S-Video jack that can be used to connect to a TV or VCR; you would just need to select the input device on the TV. Other laptops have a miniRCA jack, or can pass TV Out directly through the VGA jack with a special adapter. Some newer televisions may even have a VGA jack themselves to be used as a monitor. If your laptop is not capable of these things, your only real option is a scan converter. A scan converter converts the VGA signal output from the laptop into an NTSC or PAL-compatible signal.
yes, it can. All you need is laptop that has an VGA or HDMI output, which most of the newer laptop do. Once you connect to your TV, an instruction window will appear in your laptop. If not hold down fn f5Hope this help.
