BENFEI HDMI to VGA, Uni-Directional HDMI Computer to VGA Monitor Adapter (Female to Male) with 3.5mm Audio Jack Compatible with TV Stick, Computer, Desktop, Laptop, PC, Monitor, Projector, Roku, Xbox

Works perfect! Using it to display iPhone to 22” Dell monitor via iPhone docking port.

I have a number of monitors that are 8 years old or so that don't have hdmi connectors. I purchased this item so I could connect one of them to my laptop that has an hdmi output to be used for an external monitor. When I connected the hdmi converter the screen displayed "THIS FORMAT IS NOT SUPPORTED".i tried it on two different monitors - one Hewlett Packard and one Dell. Both screens showed the same message. I didn't bother to return it because it was less than $10 and wasn't worth the trouble. It was most disappointing...

I bought a 2016 Epson 535 and it works absolutely perfectly. I couldn't be happier. I bought the projector for around $235 refurbished, attached this converter/dongle to it and my Firestick and viola! As perfect a picture as I could hope for from older technology. The projector has a HDMI port but for whatever reason is not directly compatible with the Firestick. So this little miracle saved the day and saved me a lot of money by not having to purchase a newer, more expensive projector. Great quality. Have had it up and running for 3 months and never a glitch. It does require power, so the the firestick and projector. So, I replaced the ceiling fan in the movie room with 2 duplex outlets encased in a surface mount box. If you don't know what I'm talking about, please call an electrician. Anyway, works perfectly and I didn't have to run wires up through the ceiling and into the attic and down the walls. Just plug in right next to the ceiling mount. I'll attach pics. Enjoy your home theater on a budget!

This adapter defaults to 1024x768 resolution every time it is powered up or plugged in. If you have it plugged into a laptop or computer where you can adjust the resolution that's fine. You can go to the display parameters and change it. I tried this on several setups and monitors to make sure it wasn't just me or my configuration.I needed to use HDMI over DTP (really long range HDMI) and to a projector. The video switcher would auto detect and negotiate either a 1080p or 4k video feed. Because this adapter would not do a 1280x720 or higher widescreen resolution by default it would not connect and let the video through.For some applications this adapter will work just fine. For my application it would not. I'm rather disappointed that the adapter could not detect it was attached to a widescreen display and adjust accordingly or that it defaults to a 4:3 aspect ratio instead of a 16:9.

Thanks

Did not work out of the box. I don't know why. I'm connecting a desktop computer HDMI out to the VGA in on an old Phillips 55 inch TV. The HDMI to HDMI port works, but the computer screen is over the edges and causes issues. I thought maybe it would be better connecting to the PC (VGA) port on the TV. It does not work. I used a 4k cable. The uni directional data flow on the adapter matches what I am trying to do. Flow is from HDMI to VGA, so it should work. Diappointed. I won't return it though since I was warned it was hit or miss.

I originally bought this because I had an old computer monitor I wasn't using and an extra firestick and wanted to add a TV to the guest room. This works exactly like I had hoped it would. So for $8 I got a new TV, definitely worth the purchase.

I got this HDMI to VGA adapter for a 2006 VGA 4:3 monitor, which works well with 720p and under. The adapter itself comes with the charging cord and is very useful; however, it didn't work when the HDMI connection was 1080p. Through another adapter, I was able to downscale the connection to 720p, which makes the picture appear on the monitor. The audio part of the adapter works but cannot be altered with headphones. Also, the adapter doesn't need to be plugged in at 720p, but every experience is different, and that might not be the case for others.
