Rankie 1080P Active HDTV HDMI to VGA Adapter (Male to Female) Converter with Audio for PC, Monitor, Projector, HDTV, Xbox and More

If you give PowerPoint or other presentations and your laptop does not have a VGA output, you cannot be too careful in being prepared. You know what I am saying - your speedy new laptop doesn't have VGA (like most now, it has only HDMI). You arrive at the room, and there is that older style VGA hookup and no HDMI! Your heart sinks as you begin to think through how to give your talk with NO slides.This unit has been FANTASTIC in every such situation for me! I frequently speak and teach, usually with PowerPoint slides. My new laptop has HDMI video only - no VGA - but I find many places still use VGA for their ceiling-mounted projectors. I have used this adapter several times (maybe a dozen) and every time, the video output appears perfectly on screen. I feel completely confident with it!I was even more impressed recently when I tried a friend's Belkin branded unit and the VGA showed only the right half of every slide! I figured it was the projector, but the minute I changed his adapter out for this one, the picture was perfect and as intended. Boy, was I impressed that my no-name adapter worked where the Belkin adapter had the picture all screwed up! After I finished my talk, I ordered him the same unit as a gift. He reported it works perfectly for him as well.I have NO hesitation recommending this unit. It works perfectly as described and takes very little room in my laptop bag. In short, this product simply provides added security to any presenter who wants to avoid a last-minute PowerPoint or other presentation hookup problem!P.S. Mine has held up just fine through many uses. Other reviewers said theirs "fell apart" but looking at the way this is made, I can't even figure out how that would be possible. If mine comes apart also, I will come back and update this review.

So easy to use, just plug and play. The picture quality is fantastic, it supports multiple resolutions, and has zero issues after some heavy wear. Make sure your monitor has an attached VGA Male Connector, or that you have the proper VGA cable available for it. Other than that, very compatible, connects pretty well with the screw-in system, functions fantastically.

Awesome device! This worked perfectly for what I needed it for. I wanted to use one of my older ROKU devices to stream online videos to an older projector in our Sunday School Class. I simply plugged the HDMI cable into the ROKU which transports both the video and the audio from the ROKU. The VGA output connects easily to one of the two male ends of a VGA computer video/monitor cable. Then, there is a 3.5 mm female jack on the adapter that I plugged my analog computer speakers into and I'm done! This allowed me to use a great working older ROKU on a great working projector that did not have an HDMI input! It saved me a ton of money, and now I don't have to lug my laptop in every week or leave it there subject to someone "borrowing" it. Now the setup can stay intact and anyone there in my absence can activate the device and play back our streaming videos the same as if they were at home. Top quality, works great!

So I have this early Magnavox, 720p, HDTV that was made, I swear, the week before EVERTHING came with at least one HDMI port. It was little used, and I wanted to hang a streaming box or dongle on it and stick it in the bedroom, but most such devices are HDMI only. I found other solutions that worked, and didn't port the audio through, or worked and didn't fill the screen with the image. This worked first try to hook a ROKU 3 to my set, no problem! In fact, I'd give it five stars except for a few quibbles. First, the micro USB power port was flimsy, wobbled, and the plug didn't insert deeply enough to be very secure. But it works, and it hasn't fallen out yet, so maybe that's my perseption. It also doesn't come with an adapter, though that's a minor issue at this price point. Most sets a week newer than mine will also have a USB pot somewhere. As it happens though, the ROKU 3 DOES have a USB port, and it works fine to power the adapter. But it did what I wanted, and was cheap, so I'm happy.

Pros:Small sizePowered by HDMI cableAudio outputCons:Does not automatically resize (only passthrough)I'm planning to buy an inexpensive projector for my music room but since I already have an old Sharp projector, I decided to use it until the lamp quits. Being an old projector, it doesn't have an HDMI (or DVI) input so I bought this port adapter so it would work.At first, the Sharp showed me a (horizontally) split screen and then I remembered that the projector can't take a 1080p input. Since this adapter will pass through whatever resolution the source has, I had to change the output from my Android TV box to 720p and then it worked! Yay!!Although the adapter has a micro usb power connection (it comes with a short hdmi to micro hdmi cord), it will take power from the HDMI cable. It also has a 3.5mm mini audio output which also comes with the jack.While there is no manual, it's pretty much self-explanatory how to use it (no two plugs are the same so they can only go in one way). All in all, in my opinion, it comes with everything you should need to get up and running in less than 5 minutes and most importantly, it works flawlessly!
