Review on 🔌 Portta VGA + 3.5mm Audio to HDMI Mini Converter - Uncompressed 2 Channel Support - White by Eric Pavelko

This unit works for me and was a good replacement for my previous VGA HDMI box. I use the device to display my work laptop on my home monitor when working remotely as the monitor only has HDMI and DVI inputs. Since I sometimes work a lot at home, I often use it every day. In terms of performance, the image quality seems pretty good, but I'm having trouble connecting the device to my laptop for the first time. Usually when I plug it in and plug the VGA cable into my laptop, my monitor doesn't recognize the signal. When starting up, you usually need to quickly unplug the power cord from the converter box or one of the video cables. However, when the signal goes through, I don't have any interruptions. I think this is a problem with the converter as my previous converter didn't have this problem when working. After a bit of a slow start, I'll give it 4 stars out of 5 as it's a bit of a drag. The device is fairly compact, which is nice, but it doesn't include a power adapter, which is another reason for 4 stars out of 5. Any USB adapter will do and is a much better alternative to always having a computer or hub plugged in be . My laptop actually logged a USB power warning when I plugged it in. So my guess is that the power consumption must be a bit higher than what a standard USB port can normally handle. Overall, however, the device performs well for its primary function of converting a VGA port signal to HDMI.
