Need VGA out from E14

Could someone point me to a video adapter that works (either mDP --> VGA, or HDMI --> VGA), that's not the HP one? Thanks in advance.

 

Amazon.com: HDMI to VGA HD15 (Male) Cable: Electronics

I'm going to assume that my lack of research won't stop this from working.

otherwise I mean, could look on mono price

edit: then again, it apparently doesn't do much if you don't have a converter or something.

mini display to vga

 

Thanks for the suggestions, but I should explain that the apple adapters don't work with the Envy 14. and yea Magus, that adapter isn't really an adapter.

 

The ones that actually work are going to be Digital to Analog converter boxes. Since that is what is required. They will be pricey. Some cost as much as a monitor that has HDMI input.

 

=(

I guess its just best that I order a HP's HDMI VGA adapter then.

 

i got a generic mDP to VGA adapter from amazon and it seems to work just fine with the ATI card.

 

i am from Singapore and i cannot order the HP HDMI to vga needed for my project. i have been trying for week and this is totally terrible experience.

paypal pending the $ and HP rejection take up to 2 month omg.

what a thankgiving

 

I have this $16 generic mDP>VGA adapter from Fry's and it has worked fine.

Anyone has a list of what adapters work?

Tried the Apple one -- doesn't work.
Tried a generic no-brand one in a local store -- didn't work either.

Am thinking of getting the Accell one but would appreciate anyone who can give alternatives or confirm it works as I'm in Malaysia and international ordering makes returns tough.

Can you confirm that this works on the E14? Mine's configured with the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650.
Thanks,
Eugene

 

L3vi and ekhoo, you guys sure the apple ones don't work? Check out this vid! 1:20.

 

That is the mDP -> DVI-D adapter, which does work.

The question is regarding xxx->VGA

 

I'm pulling the plug on the Accell mdp-vga adpater now on Amazon. Has to ship to a friend in Dallas before he resends it to me.

I've tried this Wiretek equivalent:
Wiretek International Investment LTD. HDMI Series USB HUB HDMI CABLE

And it doesn't work either.

 

Re: Connecting ENVY 14 to LCD projector - HP Support Forum

 

For only $15.12 each when QTY 50+ purchased - Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter | Mini DisplayPort to HDMI / DVI / VGA Adapters

Anyone willing to try if that will work?

Monoprice hasn't failed me before...

 

I ended up getting a USB VGA adapter, haven't tried it out yet though

 

Looks like I'm back to square one.

The Accell adapter doesn't work either. What kind of stupid mDP port does the Envy have?
ACCELL Cables - Audio, Video, Speaker, Computer Cables and Interconnects

Looks like I might need to get my friend to get me the HDMI to VGA adapter instead!

 

would it be possible to use an HDMI splitter to output to two monitors or would I need to use both the HDMI and mDP outs?

Can the laptop be shut when outputting to two displays or does it need to stay open with a blank screen?
