HDMI Adapter VCE 2 Pack Plated Review

I took these for my Raspberry Pi 4 and they work great if you only want to use one output. Their structure isn't perfect as they can also put a lot of pressure on the mini HDMI connector, but overall they're good enough when you first start your Raspberry Pi.

Adapters look good but I haven't had a chance to use them yet. Turns out I needed MICRO HDMI to HDMI, not Mini. I didn't know they were different. Not worth sending them back so I'll just keep them if I ever need a mini to HDMI adapter. I'll definitely be watching more closely to see if they ever release a device with nano-HDMI. :)

I ordered four of these and all four broke the micro HDMI connector after a few uses. In some cases, the metal casing on the micro-HDMI end stayed in the slot when the connector was unplugged. In all cases, the HDMI micro connector was bent and was either too loose to connect or snapped off the connector. If you only need it once then this was a good buy.

I got this for my new Raspberry Pi Zero but the black part prevents it from fitting fully into the mini HDMI Zero connector. It fits snugly enough to connect, but only takes a light squeeze to release. I don't plan on using it long-term as I will be using SSH to access Zero in the future, but it's worth considering if you plan to use it typically with a monitor.

If you already have an HDMI cable, this will help a lot because you don't need to buy enough HDMI to Mini HDMI cables, but be aware that since it is not a cable, the adapter body is quite large. You might want to move it to a place where it's not touching a wall or anything like that, because once the cable that connects to the adapter is bent, you'll break both the cable and the adapter.

It connects to the computer, but when the computer is placed on a flat tabletop, the adapter body cuts into the tabletop and dangerously bends me the computer's video connector. In addition, the video connection will be disabled in this case. As a temporary measure, I'm putting my computer on top of a book, but I'm going to buy a new adapter so I don't crash my computer one day trying to give a presentation. I hope that I didn't have any more problems connecting to the computer because of this.
