Review on πŸ”Œ AmazonBasics Compact Adapter with Gold Plating by Nathan Skipper

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Micro USB cable you may need is not included

1. This device is designed to convert HDMI (computer) signals to VGA (monitor) signals. It doesn't work the other way around (if you connect it to a VGA port on your computer and an HDMI port on your display).2. Depending on the device, the device may require power. This requires a micro USB cable and a free USB port on the back of the computer. You won't know if you need a USB power cable until you try it. And then you need to order it because this device doesn't come with a Micro USB cable. There are devices at comparable prices with great reviews that come with a cable, so I'd suggest getting one of those instead.3. I cannot judge the quality of this device as I was unable to test it due to having to use the specified USB cable. Given the price and the need to buy one separately, I give it 2 stars because it's not that good value for money. I had to buy a competitor's product and return this unit.

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other models
