Review on πŸ”Œ Cable Matters Micro HDMI to VGA Adapter: Seamless Micro HDMI to VGA Conversion in Sleek Black Design by Robert Rick

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Surprised it worked really well with Surface RT (Gen 1)!

Almost all similar cables sold in the aftermarket have problems with the Microsoft Surface RT tablet. This one seemed to have more positive reviews so I took a chance. Upon arrival I plugged it into an external monitor and nothing. I was disappointed. Then I noticed the USB extension cable and actually took the time to read the two-page instructions that came with it. I've been told to try connecting to a powered USB port if nothing works without it. I did (actually I used both ports on my iMac and later the USB port on the Surface RT). When I connected it everything was perfect! I just tried this at work with a flat screen TV and NEC projector and they both work great. As long as you can power the cable via USB, it works great with Surface RT. I'm VERY glad I didn't have to pay ridiculous amounts for a manufacturer's cable. Really great product!

Pros
  • Computer cable adapter
Cons
  • Obsolete model
