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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Useful if you know what you're doing

Unexpected quirk: doesn't seem to need 5V to work Anyhow, I've tested this unit on a few settings and I think I've got something found it is for seizures. If you need to convert PC/Laptop HDMI output to VGA (D-Sub) for monitor or projector setup, then this product is for you. I used this to match my laptop with an old projector and it worked like a charm once I corrected the settings. To make sure it works, you need to make sure the resolution and refresh rate you are using is compatible with the projector in question. My computer thought 54Hz was a good idea and messed it up until I changed it to 60Hz. For some reason my computer didn't recognize any compatible resolutions for the projector so you need to make sure you know how to adjust it if the image is distorted or missing. I tried using my PS3 with the same projector but got a blank screen. Since I no longer have access to the projector, I'm not sure if it's me, the converter, the PS3 or the projector. Another surprise was how it worked when I connected the Xbox 360 to a splitter that connected to another projector and a small monitor. I'll let you know if the PS3 does the same. I hope that gives you an idea of whether you want it or not.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Has bugs
