Your laptop has HDMI and the room has VGA, and the screen stays dark until someone finds a cable. This small converter takes the HDMI signal from a laptop, PC, set-top box, PS3 or DVD player and sends 1080P video to a VGA monitor or projector. Pick the audio or power variant when the source needs it.
Connect HDMI sources to VGA displays with 1080P video and optional audio
- Old VGA monitor or projector has no HDMI input
- Need to connect laptop or set-top box to VGA screen
- Audio needed over VGA connection
- Low-power devices needing extra power
Show your HDMI screen on any VGA display
Stop scrambling for borrowed cables before the meeting starts. Connect your laptop, PC or console to the old VGA monitor or projector and show 1080P video in minutes.
Compact Converter, Clean Connection

Gold-plated HDMI input
The HDMI male end has gold-plated contacts, which keeps the connection clean from the source side. Plug it into a laptop or console and the adapter is ready to take the signal. The cable is short and flexible, so it sits behind a laptop without pulling on the port.

1080P VGA output
The adapter converts digital HDMI video into analog VGA at up to 1080P on compatible displays. It comes in black and white, so you can pick the one that matches your gear. A VGA monitor or projector gets a full picture without a new display.

Optional audio and power
VGA carries only video, so sound needs the 3.5mm audio jack on the audio variant. The micro USB power port is there for low-output sources that cannot drive the converter alone. Choose the variant that matches your source and skip the extras you do not need.

Questions and answers
Yes, as long as the source has an HDMI output. The adapter is built for computers, set-top boxes, PS3 consoles and DVD players connected to a VGA monitor, TV or projector.
Most laptops and PCs do not. Low-output devices can struggle to drive the converter alone and may flicker or show no image. For those, use the micro USB power variant.
VGA carries only video. For sound, pick the variant with the 3.5mm audio cable and run that cable from the adapter to your speakers or the display audio input.
It is one-way. HDMI goes in and VGA comes out. It will not feed a VGA laptop into an HDMI TV.
It converts digital video to analog VGA at up to 1080P on compatible displays. Older monitors that top out at a lower resolution will show the picture at their own limit.
Almost always. One small adapter costs far less than a rental for a single meeting or a new display for a room that already has a working VGA screen. It also rides in your bag, so you never need to hunt for a loaner.
