Computer HDMI is a digital signal, VGA is an analog.  Therefore an active adapter is needed. Not this one.

With a lot of the newer laptops pc's, (i.e. Dell, HP), the VGA plug ports are eliminated, which makes it inconvenient for projecting technology like a projector, or a Promthean Board (education), etc. This adapator  helps in bridging that problem with a little older projector technology and the current pc laptop formats.

This converter does a fine job, as advertised, of converting our computer VGA output to the HDMI input of our monitor.  Thank you!

At some levels, an HDMI cable is an HDMI cable is an HDMI cable. But this is a thing of beauty.

I purchased both the VGA adapter and the HDMI adapter.  The provides extra capabilities for the Kindle Fire HDX.

My latest laptop at work doesn't have a VGA output which causes major issues as most customer and most meeting rooms at work still have OHPs with VGA input cables. I also liek to use my laptop at home by connecting it to my KVM switch which again needs either VGA or DVI. So I bought this and it work well for all these scenarios. I haven't tried the sound, but the video conversion is pretty good.

I'm using it as a PC monitor. My PC has an HDMI outlet but no VGA outlet. The HDMI input on the TV doesn't allow me to access the PC menu options that are available if I could use the VGA input.

Works perfectly, please pay attention to the description this is for taking HDMI outputs (DVD player, laptop, etc) into VGA inputs (Computer monitor, TV, etc.) it does not work in reverse.

The DisplayPort to HDMI conversion cable works just fine.  The output on a 1080P computer monitor is spectacular.

Working great to convert VGA from a Dell computer to HDMI on a new big screen TV. The new TV did not have a VGA connection. Very pleased

it is an HDMI to DVI cable. If that is what you're looking for, this is it. It is very long. I have my PC plugged into a tv in another room.

Make sure you select the correct one with the 'from' and 'to' for what you need. I purchased the "HDMI Male to VGA Female" version. It is not being used in a very stressful way. But it is doing exactly what I wanted.

I took the HDMI end and plugged it into my laptop. I took the dvi end and plugged it into my monitor.  I was rewarded with more screen real estate.

In other words: Works as advertised. Love it.

This worked fine for DV"I pass through, but the VGA didn't work... Disappointing that they don't mention it isn't a converter....

DVI is a bit of a dated format. I used it for a second monitor (since my old graphics card had VGA and DVI inputs).  However, if you have the choice use HDMI, you'll have more cross compatibility with that.

The vga input to this device is a 15 pin male. The output of our vga cable is also male (the cable is buried in the ceiling and was greater then 20'-I didn't want to replace the cable with a long hdmi). A trip to Radio Shack for a vga to hdmi converter hit the ticket. This unit derives its audio from the usb on the pc meaning that a usb sacrifice is needed if we wanted to supply it here. We have our own speaker system that takes the audio directly from the laptop and so, this connection to the usb was not required. I'll use this somewhere else.

Does the job of connecting a TV to a PC for use as a monitor.  You need the PC display card with DVI connection and a HDMI cable.
