Review on StarTech.Com HDMI To VGA Cable – 6Ft 2M - 1080P – Active Conversion – HDMI To VGA Adapter Cable For Your VGA Monitor / Display (HD2VGAMM6) by Evan Martinez

This happy adapter works fine on the handful of Dell Optiplex boxes that I tried it on (the 380/390 series, not the current 30x0 generation which have DisplayPort instead of HDMI).When I used it between a nettop computer (Foxconn nt-535) and a VGA broadcast box, the video quality was very poor, but I think that was the fault of the broadcast box not properly translating a not-quite-standard VGA signal. I think the takeaway is that this adapter should work when you connect it directly to a monitor, but you'd be wise to avoid any device that has to further translate the VGA signal.
