last week i bought a hd plasma 43 inc tv. can i use it with my computer as a 43 inc computer monitor with this converter ?

Probably not. This converter is for changing an HDMI signal into a VGA signal. Not the other way around. If your PC/Laptop has HDMI out, just use an HDMI cable. If your computer has VGA out, just buy a VGA to HDMI cable.

You cant. I messed with mine for over 4 hours adjusting both color on pc and tv and the converter trying to get the picture right. I ended up trashing this and buying a tv with rgb input. I have bought 10 different vga to rca converters and none produces a good picture for anything other than cartoons.

I am sure you can do it. Your tv will act like a big screen for your computer.

I don't know. However, you can go on their forums to search for an answer or email their support desk. We went to a local store, and a iSony Rep happened to be there for the day answering questions for the day. But we hooked it up to the 65" 4HD TV so it wasn't an issue. Good luck.

I used mine connected to a small TV in my kitchen. I don't know about a computer monitor.

I've never tried using it with a PC monitor; but if you have the ability to convert the RCA connection, I can't think of any reason it wouldn't work. I'm not home right now; but when I get there, I'll look in the box or on the installation cd to see if says anything about it. Give me till this evening, and I'll check it out.

Using HDMI, yes. However, since computer monitors aren't designed for TV viewing, you may not get the quality of an HD TV.

That makes sense. As much as I love the Samsung plasmas for superior motion, picture quality, colors, and blacks -- for movies and hi-def TV, even in 768P -- I would still get a 1080p LCD if I were going to use it regularly as a monitor for a computer. Just be sure whatever LCD you do buy supports HD monitor display from a computer -- and via a type of connection that your computer has. Also be sure it does allow the display to be shown in different sizes and does not stick on 4:3 as my LCD does. You will want versatility.

@Elliot, yes. I use it for my third monitor with a Radeon HD 6970 and it works flawlessly. This IS the active converter you're looking for.

I wouldn't buy tjis ptoduct. I sent mine back because I used it to hook up another monitor to my computer and the resolution it gave me was only 400 x 800, not as advertised. I researched some more and a EVGA +39. It has an adapter for VGA and HDMI. Like I said, I use it to connect a third monitor to my laptop. Don't know if it can be used for a TV. But check to see if your TV has a VGA input first. Most do. Then you can just buy a VGA cable and a audio cable and that will work.

This works and you'll need a true "active" converter NOT adapter. The monitor does not come with such adapter so you'll need to buy them separately. Buy it from me, I'll sell you both the monitor and active converter (you'll need to buy them separately). They're guaranteed to work with all GPUs maker from Intel to Nvidia to AMD. If interested, shoot me an email so I can setup a deal for you.

This TV has PC input(RGB) and 3 HDMIs(most computers these days have HDMI)so you can use this with most computers but the ones with DVI(you would have to get a DVI to HDMI adapter). So you can use this with computers

Not sure! We used this to echo HDMI via CAT5 to thre Large LCD's in our church. It works well with two of the sets but the older Plasma has some trouble syncing. I think this is due to the TV since it happened with the older splitter. It works pretty good for this use! Best of Luck!

Hi Gordon, yes, you can. Just connect the HDMI cable to your computer for you to use it as a monitor. Thanks_Mitch

If the converter box is using component out, no, this will not work. You would need a small box that converts component to VGA like http://amzn.com/B009GUQYBO or http://amzn.com/B0014BL9PO.

honestly it will depend if your computer has the same size hdmi port as your tv does. I have a computer at home that has a video card in it that has the smaller a size output , this cable would not work for that. But i have purchased a cable that does work for it at this link -> AmazonBasics High-Speed Mini-HDMI to HDMI Cable - 9.8 Feet (3 Meters) - Supports Ethernet, 3D and Audio Return . the easiest thing you could do is look at the port on your computer and your tv, if they are the same size, buy this cable, if the computer one is smaller, than use the link i pasted in this message... good luck. honestly it will depend if your computer has the same size hdmi port as your tv does.

Yes, but the cord needs to be thicker so it has less resistance. The thinner cord like I bought is too much for the converter to handle (even at 25 FT) and causes a "flickering" on the TV that switches from normal picture to a blue screen for a split second and does this a lot, so if you need to find a 40 foot cord make sure it is thicker than 1/8" diameter so that this does not happen. In other words you need to find a thicker gauge cord. Logan
