I'm not connecting to a desktop PC. I' m using the device to help me connect my tv to the components which reside in a media closet.

I used this with my old projector had to convert .not adapt. to "VGA". worked great. new projector is HDMI, installed new video card with HDMI output. then bought 2X4 matrix. everything works great. you only have to wait for "HDCP" to say its ok to display the new signal every time you switch source.

I have not yet tried to use this with a DVI/HDMI converter. Sorry I cannot answer your question at this time. I am considering a different layout to our system, I might be trying this in the future, but I don't know how quickly we'll get around to doing it.

Just adding to my previous comment, there will be no audio onto your monitor regardless it works or not. HDMI to DVI will only transfer video.

I have been using this product for a while now and my experience is it has performed exactly as it should with no problems. I have it splitting an HDMI connection from a PC to a desktop monitor and a wall mounted LCD TV and I have video and audio on both simultaneously with no issues.

Buy a vga to DVI-D adapter and a DVI-D cable. Do not use a vga to HDMI cable with wide gamut monitor.

Yes, I have dual monitors with my hp laptop and I run one off the HDMI. No issues.

No, I do not have an exact idea of what could be wrong since I have not experienced it. However, Are you using RCA cabling or HDMI? I recommend HDMI. The problen could be bad RCA cabling.

VGA is very picky about connection quality. That's why I'm only using this device to switch keyboard and mouse. I connect the display through DVI or HDMI or DisplayPort directly then switch on the monitor itself.

I've had this monitor for a few months now, and although I do play more resource intensive games with it, I've had no problems. If you are using a DVI-D to HDMI converter, you might be overloading the monitor itself and it might burn out. Try using just a DVI-D cable to connect the monitor and computer.

I just purchased the mini dvi to dvi adapter and also an hdmi to dvi cable. I also have the audio cables. When I hooked everything up, I could hear the audio and see my desktop only. How can I view something other than my desktop. CAn you help?

Yes, not a problem, if you have a VGA output on your latptop. If it's DVI, you'll need to buy a cable. If it's HDMI, you're S.O.L.

I tested this by pulling the power cord from the back while it is tied into my computer via DVI connection, waited a moment and then plugged it back in. It came back on to the same input to what I was viewing on the computer screen. So I would say it will do what you want based on this.Good Luck

Other than defective cable, basic trouble shooting: which i guess you already tied. Connect both end properly, make sure micro HDMI goes all the way in. Check you TV input & select the appropriate input for PC. Mine worked without any issue.

I connected it to a dell laptop and didn't have any issues. They do have a driver disc included but I didn't need it. It was just plug and play.

I'm thinking defective. I used both inputs switching between DVI & VGA and both worked fine. But if the problem exists on both monitors when used as analog then you may have another issue.

It is not a dumb question. I have used the cable (or a series of conversion dongles and cables) for a similar function at the office and it worked. The key is that you need a DVI-to-DP converter, and the cable does act as one of these.

Thanks so much for your response. I'll go ahead and bust it out of the package and try it out. Trying to connect an extra monitor!! Lee
