I have this an I hook up to my laptop an correct but in fact it will give you the signal works right of the box all you need to do is buy a 3.5 audio wire an hdmi cable :)

No. its a passive splitter. The only way it will work is if you unplug the tv you aren't using. You need to get an active splitter (one that you have to plug in and gets power) in order to do what I think you want to do. At least that was my experience.

Charles, I cannot answer definitively. On my computer (IBM), it did not shut off the on-board VGA. I've read that on some computers, you use BIOS settings to determine if the on-boad VGA stays on or goes off. That might be a good question for Dell technical support.

Your T.V. probably doesn't blend the VGA with your audio input. What you need is a 3.5 audio jack to a female RCA jack. This should 100% fix your problem.

No. This cable is useless - you have to have an interface adapter to mate VGA to HDMI.

I have both HDMI and VGA connections on my HDTV, but the VGA didn't work until I bought a VGA/HDMI converter box. They're not expensive (mine was $10) I have an older Dell tower that's been refurbished but didn't have the HDMI connection, so the converter box was an inexpensive way to go.

I don't know. All I've used is the HDMI and USB, and have not had any issues at all. The other comment about the USB port being defective makes the most sense. I don't think VGA would deliver power -- I think that has to go through the USB connection.

this cable doesn't covert from VGA to HDTV digital signal. i bought the converter box, this cable is used to connect ur laptop to converter box input and then you need the HDMI cable to connect from output to HDTV.

I tried rca to vga and it did not work. I didnt bother to send it back. Figured it was worthless!

this will not fix your problem... this is an IR emitter meaning it OUTputs IR it doesnt receive it. This is meant to plug into a control system with the little emitter stuck on the IR receiver on your equipment (in your case it would be on the IR receiver on the front of your TV) repeating IR commands.

No. The signal is going the other way.. It converts mini display port to sVideo monitor. And it doesn't always work with my computers.

If your monitor has rca in then yes. If you mean to convert rca to vga, this does the exact opposite (but you probably meant vga to rca)

No, I have to say this right now. Buy a converter that states RCA to VGA it will start at 30$ View HD was what I ended up buying, they make it to work for your case too. This dohiki does nothing for my need and won't help you. In very rare cases it lets a PC signal FROM VGA to be on an older TV. Not in my case, but for you it's guaranteed to be wrong, youre doing the reverse.

If you have the VGA connection on your TV it will work. It probably would be best to compare the computer VGA connection to the TV connection because they would have to be the same for the cable to work.

If you don't use the monitor vga, you can't see anything. It switches over quite quickly.

No it will not, obviously the hdmi out can supply sound but VGA is only video and therefore bypasses the sound. When I use the VGA connection I use a set of speakers or sound that jacks into the headphone outlet of my tablet.

I would assume it would. You might have to Detect Displays (Cmd + F2) to get the VGA monitor online if your using it as a secondary monitor.
