It worked!: computer cable adapter

It worked great and was so easy to connect after trying a few wrong cables. Thank you Revane for your patience with my returns. I finally have the right one.

Pros
  • done
Cons
  • unreliable

This adapter with USB power cable worked with my laptop (VGA output) and HD monitor with only HDMI ports. VGA resolution is not converted to HD; Nothing will happen. I just didn't want to raise anyone's expectations. This is a great adapter and a good buy at this price. I highly recommend it.

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • Other Other

Extremely versatile, even supports sound

Works well with headless Linux computers that only have a VGA output on the motherboard. This device is designed for systems connected to a monitor with HDMI inputs (ie analogue -> digital). By the way, the USB power plug shows up as a USB-C media sound card, and the sound from the computer works right out of the box. A huge improvement over lugging around a VGA-capable monitor for these configurations.

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Unbelievable price

Great adaptor. It just works.

Never doubt StarTech products. Used for 32 inch LED TV as conference room monitor. The quality is excellent. Presenting in PowerPoint and Excel couldn't be better. Best of all, no drivers are required, which is very convenient. Tested on multiple laptops and none have failed so far. The audio was set automatically and the quality is excellent. The USB extension is very useful on a laptop with ports on the opposite side of the VGA output.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks

The adapter worked great!

After reading many reviews about this product and other similar products, I realized that my chances of it working perfectly are very slim. Item arrived earlier than promised, plug and play within minutes. All set up by myself by connecting my old home desktop with VGA output to a new digital TV with HDMI. The sound from the TV is better than the old speakers used with the VGA monitor. Don't forget to buy an HDMI male to male cable, this is required to connect the item to your TV's HDMI socket.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Compatibility

You will probably be very happy with the display

The adapter works well, at least initially. We don't use an audio or USB port in our conference rooms, but the adapter works very well with an HDMI cable from a TV and a VGA port from a laptop. The problem was that after some time (usually months, sometimes weeks) the adapter stopped working for unknown reasons. No symptoms, no intermittent problems, nothing to warn of. We swap out the adapter and everything works again for a few months. We sent back the faulty units and the manufacturer…

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • So far so good

Nice second time!

I needed to convert the 1280x800 (optimal) resolution from my Dell Latitude E4200 to HDMI for presentations. I first bought a cheaper SYBA IO Crest box (SY-ADA31025) from Revain which was described as supporting this resolution. This adapter worked "OK" at lower resolutions, but at 1280 x 800 the screen showed a "No Signal" message on each of the output devices I tried. I arranged a (painless) return and refund with Revain. I then spoke to "Keith" from StarTech who assured me that this unit…

Pros
  • Computer cable adapter
Cons
  • Cable shorter than other models

Very good picture and sound quality but no volume control in Win10

I use this adapter to connect an old laptop to a 1080p TV, using the computer mainly as a media player. The adapter has excellent 1080p picture quality. Also very handy is that it behaves like a USB sound card and automatically sends audio over HDMI. However, the big problem (with audio) is that the Windows 10 audio volume control doesn't work with the chip used in the adapter (one of the C-Media chips). This can be an obstacle when using your computer as a media player, since not only can you…

Pros
  • HDMI to VGA adapter
Cons
  • weak

then it passes the signal and the quality is excellent. BUT

Works fine WITH ONE BIG EXCEPTION. If you broadcast it at "normal" resolutions - 800x600, 1024x768, 1680x1050, 720p, etc. - then the signal will pass through and the quality will be excellent. However, when connected to a PC, the 720x400 plain text mode used by the BIOS *does not* pass through the adapter. This ruins it for me because I was hoping to use an adapter with my HDMI KVM switch to connect older PCs without HDMI and DVI to my KVM. When I'm not running in 720x400 mode, I can't access…

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Some little things
