BENFEI HDMI to VGA, Uni-Directional HDMI Computer to VGA Monitor Adapter (Female to Male) with 3.5mm Audio Jack Compatible with TV Stick, Computer, Desktop, Laptop, PC, Monitor, Projector, Roku, Xbox

It is working for me. I have an older entertainment and business quality projector, ViewSonic PJD5211, made to upgrade input to the best projection. I bought it on closeout with a free 10'+ screen. It has four inputs for different types of connections, but not an HDMI. So basically, I could hook up cable, vcr, gaming systems and DVD players, but could not connect any HDMI device, so no blu- ray or modern ROKU or fire stick. This device was a perfect solution, from HDMI to RS232 VGA connector on the projector. Now I'm watching Blu-ray and ROKU. It does step down the resolution, but the projector picks up the slack. I just bought this, if things change I'll let you know. I have been looking for an adaptor like this for some time and I am very happy. I have two connections so I will be buying a second one. This device also has 3.5mm audio out and requires USB power inout (both included). Beware, though, when considering this item as most items like this; it is one direction conversion. You can input HDMI and go to RS232 VGA computer connection, but you cannot go the other way. Computer port conversion to HDMI will not work with this device.

Well after six years of use, my amazing $1,300+ Optoma HD 3D DLP projector's HDMI ports both quit working last year and I thought it was done for. So I replaced the projector but didn't have the heart to get rid of it. Since selling the new one (along with the house it was attached to) and moving to another place, I decided to give it the old college try - I checked out a do it yourself youtube video to repair the HDMI ports. After spending many hours taking the projector apart, heating up the motherboard with a heat gun and putting it back together (which I wouldn't recommend to most people), it still wouldn't work. Fancy that.So after that great learning experience I called Optoma (very helpful techs). Little did I know, the VGA port also provided an input with 1080p HD quality. And the tech suggested I try that. Well if you're reading this, you probably already knew that could work, with an adapter of course. And so I tried this one and it worked beautifully, at least with my blu-ray player.Apple TV didn't work with it though, and I was sad. I thought it was an updated HDCP compliance thing that could block the digital to analog conversion. But hey, I missed something in the adapter instructions (somewhere in the product description). It says to plug up the mini-USB power supply cord, or else it might not work right. They were correct! I plugged in the power and voila! Apple TV works fine. And with the little 3.5 audio jack port, the audio sounds great too. I really needed something like that because I'm using my ancient, still works great, pre-HDMI Kenwood receiver. I just can't get over how a $10 converter redeemed my broken projector and old receiver and saved me the cost of hundreds of dollars to repair the HDMI ports. Great product! It's been many years since I've posted a review here, but I just had to this time. Couldn't be happier!

Works great with the Fire stick.

This adapter defaults to 1024x768 resolution every time it is powered up or plugged in. If you have it plugged into a laptop or computer where you can adjust the resolution that's fine. You can go to the display parameters and change it. I tried this on several setups and monitors to make sure it wasn't just me or my configuration.I needed to use HDMI over DTP (really long range HDMI) and to a projector. The video switcher would auto detect and negotiate either a 1080p or 4k video feed. Because this adapter would not do a 1280x720 or higher widescreen resolution by default it would not connect and let the video through.For some applications this adapter will work just fine. For my application it would not. I'm rather disappointed that the adapter could not detect it was attached to a widescreen display and adjust accordingly or that it defaults to a 4:3 aspect ratio instead of a 16:9.

I have a number of monitors that are 8 years old or so that don't have hdmi connectors. I purchased this item so I could connect one of them to my laptop that has an hdmi output to be used for an external monitor. When I connected the hdmi converter the screen displayed "THIS FORMAT IS NOT SUPPORTED".i tried it on two different monitors - one Hewlett Packard and one Dell. Both screens showed the same message. I didn't bother to return it because it was less than $10 and wasn't worth the trouble. It was most disappointing...

Did not work out of the box. I don't know why. I'm connecting a desktop computer HDMI out to the VGA in on an old Phillips 55 inch TV. The HDMI to HDMI port works, but the computer screen is over the edges and causes issues. I thought maybe it would be better connecting to the PC (VGA) port on the TV. It does not work. I used a 4k cable. The uni directional data flow on the adapter matches what I am trying to do. Flow is from HDMI to VGA, so it should work. Diappointed. I won't return it though since I was warned it was hit or miss.

Good

Worked perfectly as it should. I just wish the cord were longer. Good product. I recommend it.
