Review on πŸ’» Cable Matters HDMI to VGA Adapter: High-Quality HDMI to VGA Converter in Sleek Black Design by Kate Windish

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works great with a little tweaking

This thing saved me. I ordered two monitors at a deep discount; These are really great monitors, but they ONLY have VGA connectors (in 2015 I know). I had no problems with one monitor, DVI to VGA worked fine but the second DVI is obviously digital only so I had to look for a solution. The graphics card had HDMI so I tried it and it works great! Two things to note: 1. It may be delayed very slightly. You won't be able to talk about common things like surfing the web, editing documents and even watching videos. However, this can be an obstacle to play, so don't expect this to be the solution. I only play on a DVI to VGA.2 display. Colors need to be adjusted. Everything was washed out of the box. I was very disappointed. However, I jumped into the color settings on my card (Radeon HD 6870) and played around a bit, now you don't notice any difference with the first monitor! All in all it helped. Obviously it would have been better to only have monitors that support DVI connections (thanks Dell), but that helped me.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • No instructions
