Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works only for HDMI to VGA adapter

I had an old flat screen and BluRay player just sitting around collecting dust. The monitor was quite old, it only had a VGA input. And of course an active stereo speaker. So for $10 and some "found treasures" I built a small one-person BluRay player - perfect for the top of a desk or, in my case, for watching movies at work. (to check for bad disks and if nothing else was done - a fairly common occurrence in the morning). Of course, this also works for DVD. So I ordered this device and it was pretty darn easy to use: plug it into the back of your BluRay player, connect your monitor's VGA cable to the device, and connect a male-to-male jumper cable between the two device and the active speaker. Activate all? *boom* picture and sound. acting? It plays, no fuss, no complicated setup - it just works. More than good enough and outperforms any small form factor TV I could buy; For some reason TV manufacturers think that a small form factor means "super low quality". My PC monitor displays true 1080p even though it's only a VGA input. You just can't get such a small TV with this picture quality. I also love that I've renewed old equipment that would otherwise be junk. Recommended. Note: I can't say anything about durability yet, I've just optimized it. Will update if this thing goes down, but for now? It just works.

Pros
  • HDMI to VGA adapter
Cons
  • Damaged
