HDMI to VGA Adapter with Audio - 2 Pack

5 Stars. A truly "plug-and-play" plug. No drivers required, at least on my linux and Windoze PC's. I picked this item up because I have access to several older monitors, very good quality display for their day, but lower resolution, and only accepting VGA input. The little monitors are perfect for DIY projects, Raspberry Pi setups, secondary displays for HTPCs or dedicated audio player setups, second little screen to display weather forecast or your stock market/cryptocurrency ticker or security camera footage...you get the idea. I've been picking up these great little used VGA monitors for around $6 each. The shopkeeper just said "no one wants anything that won't take HDMI input anymore." So, not only does this inexpensive adapter allow me to plug HDMI output into any of these VGA monitors, it even comes with a headphone jack to tap into the HD audio output that's contained within the HDMI output! There's also a micro usb port in the adapter to provide additional power, presumably for the audio jack, maybe if you wanted to listen to headphones or something. The USB power jack is not necessary for the HDMI video to VGA video to work. The overall build quality and construction feels sturdy. This doesn't feel like a cheap no-name adapter from China that's going to fail after a few weeks, intuition tells me it'll last. If I have any issues down the line, I'll report back. It more than pays for its self by making cheap displays compatible with modern hardware. FYI - this product only works in one direction: HDMI signal to VGA display. If you're looking for the reverse you'll need a different product.

Worked as specified to connect an older VGA display to my laptop as a second monitor.

Had some difficulties - at first - with Out of Range messages. The following fix worked: From "Intel Graphics Settings" right clicking on the desktop, found that this device supports: 720x480 1024x768 1280x720 1280x800 1280x960 1360x768 1920x1080 all at 60p Hz The one that worked for me was 1024x768, 60Hz. That choice of resolution needed to be made in 2 places: First, for the Desktop Active resolution, set it at DisplaySettings by right clicking on the desktop. Next, for the Active signal resolution, set it clicking on Advanced settings, selecting "Display adapter properties" for your external monitor and choosing from the Adapter tab's "List All Modes." Worthwhile product, good quality and at a great price.

I have two older monitors that I wanted to use with my PC laptop and a new Mac mini M1 (2020). My monitors have dual inputs (DVI & VGA). The PC laptop is a work computer, so it got the DVI ports and that left me with the two VGA ports to make it work on the Mini. I tried a bunch of different connectors and cables that would take the Mini’s outputs of HDMI and USB/Thunderbolt and convert them to VGA. I finally settled on this connector and the same brand’s adapter for Thunderbolt/VGA. I will warn all here that I initially wanted to use two of the Thunderbolt/VGA adapters to take up both ports on the Mini. I didn’t find out until after I tried it that it won’t work. I searched Apple’s support site and found that in their usually subtle phrasing that you cannot run two displays using both TB ports. If you want to run two displays on this Mini, one HAS to be HDMI and the other HAS to be Thunderbolt. I will also warn that you HAVE to use the power cable that comes with this to a USB port to provide enough power for this adapter to display an image on the monitor. I tested with using the Mini’s USB port directly and a USB hub plugged into the Mini’s USB port and BOTH worked just fine. Notes: these adapters are well built and don’t feel cheap at all. For the cost, why even bother with Apple’s overpriced adapters—unless you need the additional ports they offer?

I used this HDMI to VGA adapter to convert the digital HDMI signals from both a Blu-ray player and a Roku stick to an older Dell projector with analog VGA input. It worked very well with both sources without any problems. For the Roku stick I needed a female to female HDMI adapter which is not included. The projector was able to handle many different resolution settings. With the Roku stick I got a slight noise in the image when using 1080p resolution. Changing it to the native resolution of the projector of 720p it cleared up. I didn't need a separate power supply for these two sources but it is good that it can be added for some devices that don't have enough power on the HDMI output. There are no adjustments on the adapter. If the display or projector needs a different resolution you have to change it at the source. Most devices can be changed from auto to a fixed setting such as 720p. I connected the 3.5mm jack audio output with a cable to a separate speaker. I had no problems. This is an excellent product especially considering the very low price.

Good value for the money. It work exactly for what I needed it. Would definitely buy again if needed.

I had a situation where a new laptop only had a HDMI output. No older VGA. Sometimes when I give PowerPoint presentations the Public Works people that are my audience only have a monitor I can hook my laptop into that has VGA connectors on it - no HDMI. This converter works well to take that HDMI output signal off my laptop, split out the HDMI video signal to VGA video, AND has a second output to take HDMI sound if that is important to you (was not needed by me) and split it off to a RCA 3.5mm female jack that you could route to speakers or other listening device. I've been using it for 3 months now and it works flawlessly. I had an expensive Thunderbolt USB C hub from Lenovo that had VGA output off of it. It cost $129 and gave me intermittent dropping VGA problems. Not one dropped VGA signal with the Morehead HDMI to VGA video and sound (USB AC Powered) adapter.

Claimed to work with Macbook. Second adapter I've bought that doesn't work. The cable does NOT transmit. The screen is a white flashing static when put through my AVR receiver. I then found out that some of these do not work with low-powered HDMI sources (such as Macbook, PS4, etc.) Weird. So I tried on my Xbox which it is claimed to work on. This signal transmitted but it would go out at the slightest move or even application changing on the Xbox. For instance, games on the Xbox worked but when I switched to Netflix on the Xbox, the signal cut out. I tried on a Toshiba laptop. It worked as stated above. Intermittent signal. I would definitely look for another adapter that claims to work with low-powered HDMI sources. I'm still looking myself.

good as advertised

It is not functional. Cheap quality item received. It doesn't have AUX port.

Frankly, don't buy it. Stopped working after a month.
