🔌 Cable Matters VGA to HDMI Adapter: Enhance your Monitor and TV with Audio Support Review

As I've learned the hard way, when looking for an adapter or cable with adapters, you need to read the specs because data only transfers in one direction. This adapter works great **IF** your computer has an open VGA connection and your monitor has an open HDMI connection. Otherwise it won't work, but there are many cables on Revain that will work. Just pay attention to the details or you might end up with a huge headache.

I used two of these to connect old computers to TVs at my friends house. These devices work great and will automatically scale the screen resolution to fit the TV. The USB connection design for both powering the adapter and adding sound results in a much cleaner connection than other versions that have a separate audio output cable. This makes for a cleaner connection, but I've only used it on Windows, so I can't tell if the audio works on Apple or Linux. Great price, good workmanship, timely…

I have two identical monitors connected to the same laptop. The image on the monitor with this adapter is slightly blurry. It's not very noticeable on video, but unfortunately since I work with a lot of text it's very noticeable when the monitors are side by side. I was expecting this but decided it was worth the risk given the low price. The second issue is that 75Hz isn't supported in 1080p, meaning motion on a monitor with the adapter will be noticeably more choppy than on another monitor…

After buying a few cables that did NOT work, I was ready to ditch my old VGA-only computer that had seen better days and to throw away. The original monitor was shot up and my old computer was a junkyard until I found this wonderful cable. After getting burned by buying so many other cables that didn't work, I had a lot of doubts at first. But I took a chance and bought it based on all the good reviews I read on this list. The cable arrived on time. The instructions that came with the cable…

Product works as described, it allowed me to connect my router with VGA output to a monitor with HDMI input. The text was clear and legible and looked good. Unfortunately, and it took me a while to find out, this device was causing interference to my 2.4GHz WiFi signal. So when used near my wireless router, all client devices had connection issues and very low speed and/or very high latency (<1 Mbps, 200+ ms). As soon as I disable this adapter, the speed returns to normal (up to 90Mbps and…

Updated 12/12/18 - I am really impressed not only with the adapter but also with the cable company. I was writing a negative review when the adapter I bought suddenly stopped working and the company contacted me almost immediately to fix the problem. They sent me a new adapter for free and it's perfect. They even sent me a paid shipping label to send the broken one back so they could see what went wrong. To me, this is the hallmark of a great company that wants all of their customers to be…
