Review on 🔌 VAlinks HDMI to VGA Adapter - 1080P Video Converter, Male to Male, 6ft by Sebastian Erik

Plug and play. For those who are doing this for the first time (connecting a laptop to an external monitor for more work options), you will likely lose the audio. Do not worry about it. Just right click on the sound icon in the lower right corner (Windows users only) > Playback Devices and disable the HDMI cable. HDMI transmits sound and image in two directions and is perceived as a sound card. You won't have a problem if you have a monitor with speaker outputs. Excellent value for money and quality.
