Question 1

Will this adapter allow me to stream TV/Movies on my PC/Mac and watch them in High Definition on my HDTV?  Both laptops only have USB, no HDMI outputs

Accepted Answer

yes, that's why I got it too. Works well.  Not sure what dpi it is sending but clear enough for my family.

Question 2

i need to connect my laptop to my tv to watch netflix on tv, will this do that

Accepted Answer

Hi Katherine. my name is Denis and I ordered one of these myself about 2 years ago so I could use my 46' plasma as my monitor to watch Netflix etc. This particular model didn't work well for me. I was impossible to stream hd content because the unit wasn't able to keep up with the speed. I already had owned one that worked (and is still working now)made by a company called Atlona. I paid only $59 for it at the time. This Atlona unit plugs into your vga output and uses a headphone size jack to carry sound to the unit that is powered by usb. These are much more expensive now and do come in a style like the one you're looking at. That uses usb to grab power, video, and sound. the unit your are questioning didn't work well for me, but that was 2 years ago... I cant say that the tech hasn't caught up to the speed. I just know that at the time, it didn't work for me using it the same way you want to. I would check around at different manufacturers and look at the buyer feedback section closely. most people buy these units to extend a desktop by adding a screen... This is a very different application.  Good luck!!

Question 3

I just bought a hdmi cable, come to find out i don't have a hdmi port on my pc, will this work?

Accepted Answer

If you have a Display Port or Mini Display Port, I would suggest using an adapter cable for that before using something like this USB Adapter as the DP port will produce a much cleaner signal and DP was designed to be able to carry HDMI signaling via basic cable adapters.
