Does the picture show up as well if I want to watch nexflix from my computer to my HDTV

Yes it does, but you will need a audio attachment also, I did not know this when I ordered mine. Best to find one that has both

yes, it basically turns your TV in to a 2nd monitor on your computer. It displays and has an audio jack. Do not expect HD or optimum sound from this but it does work well.

You would need to use an HDMI cable for the best picture quality. I find the Belkin laptop cable is adequate with an excellent picture, it just depends on what your TV and computer are cable of. Given my TV only has two HDMI ports the computer port is available and so I make use of it.

Not unless you use the RCA hook-up (red, yellow, white). Use of the HDMI cable somehow prevents the closed captioning from showing on screen, even if your television has this capability. CNET has some questions/answers about this.

If both your computer and your TV have an HDMI receptacle it should be easy. I only had to plug it in bring in the component on my TV and we watched the "Circque de Soliel" movie within a half an hour of my receiving the Cable. BlueRigger makes a great cable. True sound and picture. Good Luck.

all I got was the SVGA cable; however I was "told" that your computer has a certain resolution, whatever that may be. I do not think you can get a higher definition picture using one of these devices. What your computer puts out is what will be displayed on the screen. It should be noted that the device can arrange the pixels to make it seem there is a higher resolution. This is what I was told. If you wish to purchase one of these and get back to me as to how the resolution is on your T.V. I would greatly appreciate that, but I never tried the high definition converter, I just bought the cable. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. all I got was the SVGA cable; however I was "told" that your computer has a certain resolution, whatever that may be.

Not at all! I have watched old John Wayne movies as well as new releases and the picture is clear and crisp regardless of the delivery system: cable, DVD or on line.

Assuming you are using a VGA port (you didn't specify how you plan to connect), just use a VGA cable as other reviewers suggest. VGA is an analog standard but can still support high resolution -- you might just see some minor signal degradation.HDCP as mentioned below could be an issue depending on the movie type -- if it's not DRM (rights management) you should be fine.

If the tv has hdmi and the computer has mini dvi then yes you can view HD movies.

Sorry Mr. forrester, sadly the answer is no. It seems to have everything else. It does have componet and composite connections and a host of others but not and "S" video. Maybe there is an alternative way to connect. Im not a gamer so I cant help beyond that.

I have viewed it on a laptop but was connected to my network and the quality was not that bad

Yes it does, the quality of the video is rely on the web site. some do HD some not.

It depends on the resolution of the encoded file. If your video file is encoded with 1080p then that is what you should see on your TV. Just be mindful that other factors may weigh in such as quality of your cabling, the resolution capabilities of your TV, or the speed of your Wi-Fi connection.

Yes. It can also be viewed on a tv by connecting your computer to a tv using an hdmi cord.

Yes, for the channels that air HD content you will see it in HD on your TV. Just make sure to connect the box to your TV via an HDMI cable to get the best picture.

Yes, it appears to be an articaft of the cable network's use of 1080i instead of 1080p. The artifact does not show up under BluRay which is 1080p. (Just in case you didn't know, the "i" is an interlaced picture scan - only every other line is sent for one picture frame. Rapid transitions force the unsent lines to be seen as blank lines. (Very simple explanation, but it'll suffice for now.)

No you would be fine with that. The picture will pretty much be the same. If you have a smart tv then yes you need to get it.

Yes; my unit allows me to connect to my TV to play all content on my hard drive but to get Netflex we connect to the TV via our Sony Blue Ray player.

No. We have it hooked up on cable. If the receiver is off, there is no picture. Hope this helps.
