StarTech HDMI to VGA Video Adapter Converter with Audio for Desktop PC/Laptop/Ultrabook

This item worked as advertised. It was needed for classroom presentations with an older projector. The audio outlet is a huge plus, especially if I am streaming video from the internet. Will look to StarTech stuff if I need audio/video stuff.

After reading a review here that this item should have the capability for audio I purchased this item. It fit the bill and is doing its job. Worth every penny.

Easy and works great!

Great price, easy ordering, and easy pickup procedure.

I have tested this adaptor with a different combination of computers, monitors and projectors without any big issues. The adapter comes in a small box the size of a cell phone but the thickness of two. The box is very difficult to open and the adapter sits in a flimsy tray within the box. The packaging was all wrecked removing the adaptor for the first time. The adapter has a VGA port on one side and the other side has a 3.5mm audio port, HDMI cable and Micro USB-B port. The adaptor says that is doesn't require any power so I am unsure why it has a USB port on. There are no included instructions in the box, on the box or on the web site to provide more information. When I first connected this adaptor to my computer I was shocked how quickly it was working. If I connected the HDMI port first to my computer then almost instantly of connecting a monitor the video and sounds were working. If I connect the VGA cable first, then audio and video start within 3 to 4 seconds as does any normal HDMI monitor. The sound and picture from this dongle were crisp, clear and without any delay. When I first played copy protected content (i.e. Netflix) the dongle stopped working and I had to disconnect then reconnect and it started working again. I have not been able to reproduce this issue since but I thought it would be worth noting. This adaptor starts working very quickly. I had doubts about converting HDMI to analog but my mind has been changed since using this adaptor. I received this product in exchange for an unbiased review.

This HDMI-to-VGA converter works well. Connections fit and conversion works well when connected to either a TV or a projector. A must-have device for those who own newer laptops that have only an HDMI port and who want to make PowerPoint presentations. No issues with Walmart store delivery of the converter.

Overall I am very happy with this product the video portion worked without issue for me. I plugged it in and the video worked just fine with my projector. The audio did function fine and did give me the results I was after. What I did not like was the lack of any documentation with this product. There is a micro usb on the product with no reference as to what it is for. (turns out after doing some investigating that some units may require the additional power) Now this would be nice to know before buying this device. And for those of us who need to know what every port is...I would like explanation so I dont spend time having to find an answer. Overall it works. I had no issues. Documentation is an issue as even the website did not reference. I received this product in exchange for an unbiased review

I got this product for test and it is small and easy to use. I tested it with Dell, HP and Asus without a problem as good plug and play product. The only issue was on the Lenovo laptop which I had to reboot it to work. I recommend this adapter. Disclaimer: I received this product in exchange for an unbiased review.

Just bought this adapter to be able to connect my Raspberry Pi 3 to an Acer VGA monitor. First attempts brought no success without external power. After plugging in my cellular charger Rpi screen shown up for about 2 secs then display went black. The same happened when I connected the monitor to my decent MacBook Pro laptop. Now I'm stuck and don't know where to go now without proper documentation. Would it be possible that external power is not enough?

Did not work right out of the box. Caused my brand new Viewsonic monitor to flash on and off. I replaced it with a different brand and all was well.
