Cable Matters VGA to HDMI Adapter, VGA to HDMI Converter

Updated 12/12/18- I am really impressed with not only the adapter but also the cable matters company. I had posted a negative review when the adapter I purchased suddenly stopped working and almost immediately the company contacted me to fix the problem. They sent me a brand new adapter at no cost to me and it is perfect. They even sent me a postage paid return label to send back the broken one so they could see what went wrong. To me that is a sign of a great company who wants all their customers to be satisfied. Thank you so much Cable matters for taking the time to address and correct the problem. The VGA to HDMI adapter is amazing. I am able to hook my old laptop to my TV and watch my movies beautifully. It is plug and play which is a huge plus! There is no lag between picture and sound which also makes it a great choice. I HIGHLY recommend this product if you need to adapt between VGA and HDMI.

This adapter kept me from having to spend money for a new system. The cable adapter works great. Works well with older computers that do not have HDMI ports or space to add an additional video card. I had an older model computer that only had a VGA port for video. When I connected this cable adapter I was able to use it with a monitor that only took HDMI connections. Just for giggles and laughs, I wanted to see if it would connect through a docking station and it worked! The video took about a half second longer to start broadcasting, initially. After that, I call it the 'adjusting phase' , the video was fine. The sound and volume, on the other hand, had to be adjusted through the operating systems sound software. The price was absolutely worth it and the shipping was fast. I order and got the product in December 2021. The only thing left, in my book, is to see how long it lasts. Right now, I give this product a thumbs up.

Solved my dual screen issues! Cheap and works, this was probably the 4th adaptor I tried and it is the only one I got that worked.

I needed a way to connect an older laptop with only VGA output to a newer HDMI-only monitor, and this adapter from Cable Matters worked exactly as described. Setup was easy—plug the VGA in on one end, HDMI on the other, and the included USB power cable ensured a stable signal. Within seconds, the display came through sharp and clean. Picture quality is good for what it is. It’s not going to magically turn VGA into high-definition HDMI, but the signal is consistent and text is crisp enough for work. The added audio support through the 3.5mm jack is a nice touch if you’re also trying to send sound along with video. One thing to note: you do need to use the USB power cable for it to function, so it’s not a purely passive adapter. Also, if you’re working with very high resolutions or gaming, you’ll want to temper expectations—it’s really designed for everyday use like office work, streaming, or presentations. Bottom line: If you need a reliable way to bridge old VGA equipment to modern HDMI displays, this adapter is a solid, no-hassle solution. It’s simple, dependable, and fairly priced.

This adaptor works with LG TV 24LQ520S. Tried two other adaptors they came up errors. I am very satisfied with this purchase.

Trying to connect a new monitor to an older desktop tower was challenging, until I came across this gem - Thank you! Works perfect. Unhooked the old monitor & connected the VGA (blue monitor connection @ back of tower) to the desktop, plugged the USB into the back of tower - connected an HDMI cable (you will need a separate HDMI cable) to the adapter & plugged the other end to the new monitor. That's it! Plug and Play - Works great - no lag & sound (from the built in monitor speakers) is there. Couldn't be happier for a $22 solution!

I think this may be the first 1 start review I have ever left. I was so excited to get this cable I couldn't wait to set it up. I'm not sure if it's me or the cable but I can't get it work- No audio, no picture I tried everything!!! *Disclaimer* even if it's me this thing deserves one star based on the simple fact there are no instructions with it! I'm not a tech guru but I do know my way around a computer... this seemed very simple so I wasn't worried that others said it didn't have any instructions. My set up: HP PC Desktop running Windows 7. I have an HP monitor but I wanted to connect my PC to my 32 inch Dynex LCD TV. I connected the VGA end of the cable to the PC and plugged in the usb to a port on my pc. My PC quickly loaded the driver. I then connected the HDMI to the black connector box and the other end of HDMI to the TV. I then powered the TV on and selected the appropriate HDMI input (in this case HDMI 1) My tv showed a message "retrieving data" then after a few moments read "no signal". I tried various usb ports,different hdmi inputs, different hdmi cables but nothing worked. I disconnected everything and reconnected SEVERAL times. Nothing. I changed display settings on tv and pc (literally tried every setting). Nothing. I even tried to connect the usb using a wall charger.. nothing. I then thought maybe it's my PC.. maybe it's too old. So I did this same thing with my Dell laptop also running Windows 7. Nothing. Then I thought maybe it's my TV! So I then tried this all again with another tv (Sony Bravia 46 inch LCD) Nothing. As a test I connected my laptop using the HDMI and it worked no problems. Which tells me it's this cable that is not working. Ok another test... I decided to connect my 32 Dynex to my computer using the VGA input. I previously purchased a double sided VGA w mini jack audio to VGA w mini jack audio to connect this same PC to my Dynex TV and it worked fine. - I know what you are thinking.. then just go with that... problem is I am going to purchase a new 43 inch tv that doesn't have VGA.. so I thought this cable would be the perfect fix. But it's not working.I have read so many of the reviews and all the questions posted.. and I have tried everything. I don't get how so many say this works and yet there are a significant amount of people who this doesn't work for. If someone could tell me what I am doing wrong I would be so grateful.. otherwise this is going back. I do want to note one thing.. even though nothing works.. from what I can tell once you connect the USB (which is designed to deliver both power and audio) your computer speakers stop working. Even though I never got video or audio from this thing I did immediately noticed that once I plugged in the USB my PC speakers stopped working .. just a note for anyone who may have wanted to have audio from PC instead of TV.. I know this may not be common but for me it was important. I have professional music studio speakers connected to my PC and I intended to use them as the primary source for audio. If anyone has any tips on why this may not be working, please help!

If the cable works with your TV, you're in great shape and this is a 5-star option. I picked up this particular cable because the PC I wanted to use did not have an audio card and the USB worked perfectly for audio. Buyers are cautioned, however, that compatibility was very hit-and-miss. I tested it with several sources, in several resolutions, and with several TVs and had spotty success. For example: On a 720p TV: - My laptop (strictly testing) has an HDMI. Sending a 1080p signal from that port to the TV worked fine. - When using the cable, only a 720p resolution worked and all other resolutions were scrambled. - By contrast, my VGA device (with the cable) was scrambled at 1080p and black at all other resolutions (including 720p). On a 1080p projector, both the laptop and VGA device was able to produce a stable picture. To their credit, Cable Matters was very responsive to my support inquiries and offered to take the cable back. If you're unlucky when it comes to compatibility, you should experience relatively little hassle.

It is very important that you know that this product is for converting a VGA signal to an HDMI signal. You cannot do the inverse. Again VGA + audio ----> HDMI = YES HDMI ----> VGA = NO Super easy to install, plug into the vga port and usb into the computer, the sound card is automatically detected. 5 min tops. I got a perfect 1080p signal to my television with sound. My computer had tried a DisplayPort to HDMI converter but it stopped working or the drivers were incompatible. Should have bought this first.

旧来のVGA出力しか無いノートパソコンからの映像を、最近のVGA入力の無い（HDMI入力は有り）32inchテレビに出力する場面で大活躍です。（しかも、音声までUSB経由で取り込み、映像とミキシングしてHDMIで出力してくれます） 仕事関連で数台必要でしたが、6台購入し即発送、即納品、全て完動！（安かろう悪かろうでは無かった！） 購入してよかったです。 4台追加購入決定です。

As l have an older computer but have an amazing monitor, this was much needed to view videos in HD. This product does as it says it will do. Great little add for those who have older computers.

Alles passt wie es passen soll!

Je reprend mon commentaire initial concernant la premiere livraison, visiblement l article avait un defaut. Apres avoir contacté le vendeur, et ce apres de longs mois suivant mon achat (je n avais pas testé l adapteur a sa reception et l avais mis dans mon sac de travail.. durant 8 mois). J ai donc teste l adaptateur 8 mois apres l achat et j ai constate a ce moment la qu il ne marchait pas.. j ai donc contacté le vendeur 8 mois apres mon achat et ils ont envoyé depuis les USA un nouveau modele car plus de stock en europe, des reception, test et tout fonctionne parfaitement,, SERVICE APRES VENTE PARFAIT !!! MERCI ET BRAVO
