Question 1

Do I have to connect all 3 connections to use this device (USB, audio cable, and VGA) to connect my laptop to my TV?

Accepted Answer

Yes you need all 3 connections.  I am using it with a desktop PC, so having all the cables being able to reach to the appropriate ports is not a problem, but I have read reviews of this product where it was an issue with a laptop, so be careful.  In addition, I am unable to change the resolution - it's at a huge 640 x 480.  Neither the adapter company Bytecc or my TV manufacturer (I have an LG 42LN5700) was able to help me, so this is another issue with this item.

Question 2

I have older Sony vaio with usb/vga input-output. Is the product compatible?

Accepted Answer

I used this on an old dell computer with VGA out only. The LCD tv did not have VGA but it had hdmi. As long as you have a vga out port you want to convert to HDMI it should work.

Question 3

ok i have a vga monitor and was wondering if this will work since i want to connect it to my hdmi port of my graphics card?

Accepted Answer

No.  this will not work.  You would need an HDM to VGA adapter.  This is to basically plug a laptop that only has a VGA output to connect to an HDMI input on a monitor, tv, etc.

Question 4

Will this work to connect an HDMI microprojector to an older laptop that has only VGA output and will it produce sound?

Accepted Answer

Hi, Yes I am quite sure it will work for that. You will need an hdmi cable to go from the converter to your projector hdmi imput as it doesn't come with a cable,
