VGA alternative  to HDMI-only Dell ultrabooks
921285
I recently bought two Dell 14z ultrabooks which do not have VGA output and which videocard did not work with any HDMI input - VGA output cable. So, after some research online, I found this alternative which worked on the first try. The built quality is very good, the install instructions are clear and it worked on Windows 8 Pro 64 bits. I would not ask for more! Great purchase!.

New laptops seem to only have HDMI (or display port) outputs, no VGA.  How then to hook up a new laptop to an old monitor that only has VGA input?  This little device is the answer.

It is a bit bulky but it works very well on the Surface Book; I was able to connect vga monitor and assume I can also connect the hdmi no problem.

I was told that I could install Win 7 on it before buying, but afterwards was told that I could not because UEFI could not be deactivated.  Many problems with Windows 8.1, so I upgraded to Windows 10.  Not my favorite, but much better than Win 8.

I *have* to have two monitors, but was told "after the fact" that one of the DVI ports had been disabled and I had to use a monitor with HDMI or DP, so I bought one.  I have tried both a mini DP to DP cable (came with the DELL Ultra Sharp U2715H monitor) and an HDMI to HDMI cable just bought from Best Buy and neither work.  Maybe the monitor is faulty, but it should have been made clear in the description of the desktop computer that I could not use two DVI monitors.  I have not seen that in any description.

ASUS has become a "dirty word" in my vocabulary.

Dell XPC 13" 9360:
HDMI has never worked on Ubuntu. Tried every trick in the book, but no success. Forces VGA, which is not what I bought this device for.
Did not initially worry too much that cables are connected at the side, but after using this device for over a month it's really annoying.
After hours of searching for and requesting information on getting the HDMI adapter to work, I've given up on it.
If you are going to get this device for a Windows box (for which, based on other reviews, HDMI apparently works) then get a USB-C extension cable.

Bought this for a Dell laptop that had every kind of Port but VGA.
Tested it and it works, but I find I am using the HDMI port mostly after all, but I have it in case I am somewhere where the video projector only has VGA. Goes in with the extension cables, etc. for classroom presentations.

Finally I got a Micro HDMI to VGA female that works with my ASUS Transformer Book T100TA-H1-GR. It was a long wait to get it but well worth it. My Epson projector works perfectly with it.

Got this for a Dell Latitude E6400 that has DisplayPort but no HDMI. I work from home with a 22" LG monitor, and was forced to use the Dell's analog output, which had visible interference and not-so-sharp image.

I got this adapter. It hooks up firmly to the computer due locking hooks. Plug in HDMI cable, works like a charm. I now have flicker-free, interference-free beautiful 1080p crisp text. It carries audio, too. The monitor has an audio output for HDMI signal, and Windows XP correctly detected it had an HDMI sound device connected. Simply put, it works exactly like you'd expect something called "DisplayPort to HDMI adapter" should. As another reviewer stated, just make sure you remove it carefully, those locking hooks are serious.

So yeah, time to retire the VGA cables for good. It's all HDMI from now on.

I have not used but this is much better than using a VGA adapter on the DVI port on the video card. I now have a backup if needed.

I purchased this item to connect a Samsung Series 3 Chromebox to an old monitor I have that accepts only VGA input. The Samsung Series 3 output has DisplayPort and DVI-I output, but no VGA, so you need an adapter. I originally tried a DVI-I to VGA adapter, but the resolution was poor, defaulting to 1024x768. I then purchased this item after a suggestion on another forum, and it works great, automatically detecting my monitor and going to the full 1280x1024 resolution. So if you have an old monitor you want to use that only accepts VGA input and your computer doesn't have a VGA output but does have Displayport, this seems to do the trick really well, at least for a Chromebox.

Connecting laptop (hdmi output) to screen (vga input) and no signal.

To date the dual monitor support is not there. I have tried one monitor with the VGA to HDMI adapter and a second monitor with the HDMI port. I have updated the software from the Liztek website. To date, only the VGA to HDMI monitor will display. The second monitor on the HDMI port does not display. If this did work properly I would HAVE to rate it a 5 star because that is what I was looking for and that is how they advertise and document it. Otherwise, I'm disappointed. Two different notebooks have the same result. One notebook meets or exceeds all the minimum requirements and is running Windows 7. The other notebook exceeds all minimum requirements and is running Windows 10.

I was very hesitant about ordering this product because of all the previous reviews I read. However, this is the only USB-DVI video card I'm aware of that supports 1920x1200.

With the suggestion of a previous review, I downloaded the the driver directly from Tritton. I first tried the 1.0.1 driver but that didn't work. Then I tried the 2.1 driver and that did work. Setup was easy from there with my two 24" dells side-by-side: one powered by the mini-dvi port, the other buy the tritton card.

Driver issues: If the macbook goes to sleep, I have to reset the resolution of the monitor controlled by tritton card.

Yes, the card has noticeable lag when moving the mouse or dragging windows. However, I only use my mac for software development purposes: text editors, mail, and browser. I'm satisfied with this card, although my expectations were already relatively low.

I would recommend this card if you want high resolution and aren't going to push the video card.

I bought this because my work device is a chromebook without VGA hookups.  It works GREAT for converting VGA projectors to HDMI

Got new laptop at work.  Had mini display port and HDMI.  Monitor had VGA and DVI.  Dell needed some way to work with my monitor.  This was the solution.  I have had no problem with it, like that it is compact enough to fit in my cable bag.  Great product.  Another friend bought it, and it did not work for them, so I rated as good not excellent.

Finding this finally allowed me to use a USB/VGA KVM switch between my MacBookPro and Dell Win10 machines. Thanks!

I evaluate, purchase and support technology related products and services for our staff.

Our new desktop computers only have an HDMI port and I wanted to use our older, but perfectly good VGA monitors. This item solved that issue and was kind to my budget at the same time.

I've discovered that some HDMI to VGA adapters perform better then others. I've discovered while many adaptors may look similar on the outside, what you can't see on the inside often affects what you see or can't see on the screen. I'm delighted to report that this worked as I expected, and as the merchant described. Other adaptors I've tried work on the older computers with HDMI, but not on the newer computers. This may have something to do with the different HDMI standards. It's important to note that this is backwards comparable with earlier standards, as of this writing in January of 2017. I have NOT evaluated it using a 4K output source. It also works nicely with Apple laptops/notebooks.

I've spent close to $50 on a HDMI to VGA adaptor from a box box store, which I returned because it did not work as expected.

I hope that you find my experience helpful, and if in fact you purchase the item, you are as delighted as I am with it!
