HDMI to VGA with Audio, Gold-Plated Active HDMI to VGA Adapter (Male to Female) with Micro USB Power Cable & 3.5mm Audio Cable for PS4, MacBook Pro, Mac mini, Apple TV and More - Black

I have two older monitors that I wanted to use with my PC laptop and a new Mac mini M1 (2020). My monitors have dual inputs (DVI & VGA). The PC laptop is a work computer, so it got the DVI ports and that left me with the two VGA ports to make it work on the Mini. I tried a bunch of different connectors and cables that would take the Mini’s outputs of HDMI and USB/Thunderbolt and convert them to VGA. I finally settled on this connector and the same brand’s adapter for Thunderbolt/VGA. I will warn all here that I initially wanted to use two of the Thunderbolt/VGA adapters to take up both ports on the Mini. I didn’t find out until after I tried it that it won’t work. I searched Apple’s support site and found that in their usually subtle phrasing that you cannot run two displays using both TB ports. If you want to run two displays on this Mini, one HAS to be HDMI and the other HAS to be Thunderbolt. I will also warn that you HAVE to use the power cable that comes with this to a USB port to provide enough power for this adapter to display an image on the monitor. I tested with using the Mini’s USB port directly and a USB hub plugged into the Mini’s USB port and BOTH worked just fine. Notes: these adapters are well built and don’t feel cheap at all. For the cost, why even bother with Apple’s overpriced adapters—unless you need the additional ports they offer?

I used this HDMI to VGA adapter to convert the digital HDMI signals from both a Blu-ray player and a Roku stick to an older Dell projector with analog VGA input. It worked very well with both sources without any problems. For the Roku stick I needed a female to female HDMI adapter which is not included. The projector was able to handle many different resolution settings. With the Roku stick I got a slight noise in the image when using 1080p resolution. Changing it to the native resolution of the projector of 720p it cleared up. I didn't need a separate power supply for these two sources but it is good that it can be added for some devices that don't have enough power on the HDMI output. There are no adjustments on the adapter. If the display or projector needs a different resolution you have to change it at the source. Most devices can be changed from auto to a fixed setting such as 720p. I connected the 3.5mm jack audio output with a cable to a separate speaker. I had no problems. This is an excellent product especially considering the very low price.

When I initially hooked it up, it did not detect my monitor. I restarted several times, but no luck. I thought it wouldn't work with my computer. I went to Best Buy and talked to a gentleman who gave me some things to check out. I also purchased the adapter they sell...for $30! Hooked it up and could not detect monitor. Again I had restarted the computer a couple of times. No luck. Only after shutting down the computer and then turning it back on did it work. Also, you will need to go into settings, and change the audio to "Speaker/Headphone" if your monitor does not have audio. (Thanks to the gentleman at Best Buy for this tip!) I returned the adapter to Best Buy, because this one worked. Be aware, there are no instructions provided with this adapter. Hope this helps someone!

Review Title: With audio port, and it comes with 12-month warranty! Review Text: I got a second hand Dell XPS 15 (Windows 10) to replace my aging 9 year old XP machine. I used to connect the old machine to extend the desktop with my old monitor, which only had a vga to vga cable. The XPS 15, however, lacked a VGA port but with only one HDMI port. I got this adapter so I could keep it cheap and keep the monitor. Initially, I forgot to use the usb cable and tried to connect my XPS 15 to the monitor directly, it came out with "Enter Power Saving Mode" and didn't work. I had to say that Moread customer service was really great. They helped me solve the problem. It does exactly what it is supposed to. The product seems to be durable. Pros: - It works flawlessly so far - It is surprisingly affordable - Sound supported. It has an audio jack for 3.5 mm stereo - 30-day money-back guarantee and 12-month warranty - Amazing customer service Cons: - None thus far. I will update my review as I find negatives

I had a situation where a new laptop only had a HDMI output. No older VGA. Sometimes when I give PowerPoint presentations the Public Works people that are my audience only have a monitor I can hook my laptop into that has VGA connectors on it - no HDMI. This converter works well to take that HDMI output signal off my laptop, split out the HDMI video signal to VGA video, AND has a second output to take HDMI sound if that is important to you (was not needed by me) and split it off to a RCA 3.5mm female jack that you could route to speakers or other listening device. I've been using it for 3 months now and it works flawlessly. I had an expensive Thunderbolt USB C hub from Lenovo that had VGA output off of it. It cost $129 and gave me intermittent dropping VGA problems. Not one dropped VGA signal with the Morehead HDMI to VGA video and sound (USB AC Powered) adapter.

Decided to buy this since I have a VGA monitor laying around that's not in used, yet my laptop doesn't support VGA. So I went looking for an converter that uses HDMI, and settled on this. So far, it works pretty well! Just plug it in, and set up multi monitor support for windows. I had an issue with sound which I managed to fix by going into my settings and changing the sound output to my laptop, since after plugging in the converter it defaulted to my monitor, which was an issue since VGA doesn't support audio as far as I know. Might update the review if this holds up in the next few months, but it's great so far! I guess one plus if I have to add was how they included the "screws" portion as well. I was going to order a different product, but noticed that they didn't have the screws area, so I decided to look for one that had it, which led me to buy this.

I've tried two of these now, and neither one has worked correctly. The first one wouldn't output any audio, so I returned it for another, and now that one has completely garbled video output. I have this companies other VGA to HDMI adapter, without audio output, and that one works fantastically. Not sure what the deal is with this one, but I would avoid it, unfortunately. Their customer service was decent, at least, and refunded me.

5 Stars. A truly "plug-and-play" plug. No drivers required, at least on my linux and Windoze PC's. I picked this item up because I have access to several older monitors, very good quality display for their day, but lower resolution, and only accepting VGA input. The little monitors are perfect for DIY projects, Raspberry Pi setups, secondary displays for HTPCs or dedicated audio player setups, second little screen to display weather forecast or your stock market/cryptocurrency ticker or security camera footage...you get the idea. I've been picking up these great little used VGA monitors for around $6 each. The shopkeeper just said "no one wants anything that won't take HDMI input anymore." So, not only does this inexpensive adapter allow me to plug HDMI output into any of these VGA monitors, it even comes with a headphone jack to tap into the HD audio output that's contained within the HDMI output! There's also a micro usb port in the adapter to provide additional power, presumably for the audio jack, maybe if you wanted to listen to headphones or something. The USB power jack is not necessary for the HDMI video to VGA video to work. The overall build quality and construction feels sturdy. This doesn't feel like a cheap no-name adapter from China that's going to fail after a few weeks, intuition tells me it'll last. If I have any issues down the line, I'll report back. It more than pays for its self by making cheap displays compatible with modern hardware. FYI - this product only works in one direction: HDMI signal to VGA display. If you're looking for the reverse you'll need a different product.
