USB to HDMI Cable Kit
USB to HDMI Cable Kit
This kit simply provides you with a female HDMI port for your laptop or computer.
In the kit you will find a USB to DVI converter, DVI to HDMI adapter and an audio lead. You will need of course a spare USB port on your laptop or PC.
How to use this Kit.
When you have connected this from your PC / Laptop to your TV. Your Windows operating system will recognise that you have added a further display port you can use. You can set this up to either,
1 - Clone (copy/mirror) your existing Windows content over 2 screens or
2 - Run as an extended desktop over 2 screens at the same time. (With an extended desktop, you can then have an internet browser running on your monitor and perhaps, YouTube playing on your HDMI display. Just an idea!)
We include a handy audio cable, a 3.5mm to 2 x RCA Phono 2.5m cable, so that you can connect the sound output from your laptop or PC to the audio input on either speakers, or the 2 x RCA phono input most HDMI TV's have.*
Do I need anything else?
Yes! Finally, you will then need a HDMI Cable to connect the kit to your HD Ready Display. We have one of the largest ranges of HDMI Cables available in the UK, so please take a moment to either view related products or of just view our full list of HDMI Cables available. Various lengths available...
* - Audio inputs on your HDMI Display?
OK, we know that HDMI normally sends video and audio, but as this kit converts USB to HDMI (via DVI), no audio is sent along the kit. The included audio lead, will work in most cases. Please check that your speakers or display has a red/white or red/black RCA Phono sockets for audio in (included). Your speakers may just have a 3.5mm stereo jack input (not included), so please check before purchase. Do please get in touch if in doubt or see related items and just add a male to male audio cable to your order.

Cost effective solution Review by Carl
Value Quality Price My client had bought a 50inch lcd tv with only hdmi outlet and tasked me to project the images from here p.c onto it. The pc only has vga output and initial enquiries were beginning to make this seem a costly mistake. Your adapter resolved this for under £100.

Q: Hi,
I'm thinking of upgrading my TV, but not my laptop, will this adaptor output to full HD resolution, (1920 x 1080)?
My video card on my Lenovo R61i laptop is a Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family integrated graphics card, it does show the resolution when connected to my HD ready (1360 x 720) via VGA, but doesn't want to play on either resolution. Thanks.- A: Antonia,
Hi, this USB to HDMI solution will run up to a maximum of 1280 x 1024, resolution. Your HD display is limited when connected via VGA as VGA is an analogue video signal, not digital. If you upgraded your laptop to a laptop with HDMI output, then this would then provide a dedicated HD output to a display. Hope this helps!

Q: Will the USB to HDMI Converter carry Audio and Video. i.e when I plug my HDMI cable in to the converter will Audio & Video come out the other end of my HDMI cable or do I have to run a seperate audio cable?
Thanks.- A: David,
Hi, audio is carried via a seperate audio lead, which we include in the kit. See the Product Overview above for more details. Thanks!

Q: How long is the audio cable in this kit?
- A: Hi,
Good question! We supply a 2.5m audio cable in the kit, not too long, but hopefully not too short either... very hard to judge a suitable length as all uses can vary... we do offer audio extension leads if you find you need a little more length though. Thanks!

Q: can you run a playstation 3 with this
- A: Hi,
Good idea, but unfortunately no. It requires the Windows operating system to enable it it work correctly. Thanks for checking though!
