This cable adapter is designed to transfer HDMI signal of those devices with HDMI interface, like computer, laptop, HD-set-top-box, Raspberry Pi, harddisk player, PS3, Xbox360 and tablets, to VGA signal and display it to large screen devices, such as monitors, LCD TV, Projectors. Packing Includes: 1 x Mini Displayport to VGA Cable Converter Review: [REVISED] Works with Raspberry Pi, sort of... - My original review, giving this item 3 stars, is below. Since posting it I have discovered that the crashing / restarting issues I was having were caused by the power supply to the Pi not proving sufficient power. Once it had been changed, everything was fine. To add to the review, this adapter gives a good clean output with no ghosting or blurred imaging. Whether connected to an older television or computer monitor, the output is clear and sharp, almost indistinguishable from HDMI-only image quality. Definitely worth the money. ------- Only used this for a short while, but it works perfectly for connecting a Raspberry Pi to an older VGA monitor. HOWEVER, as soon as I try to use the Pi with this adapter AND a wifi dongle, the Pi crashes. There is no crash when either this or the wifi dongle are used alone. Review: Great delivery, great product. - Works great, as advertised. The material is nice to the touch, came protected in a plastic film. No problems with the connector, fits the existing ones like a glove.

Great delivery, great product.
Works great, as advertised. The material is nice to the touch, came protected in a plastic film. No problems with the connector, fits the existing ones like a glove.

Great value and works with Raspberry Pi model 2 (latest version)
Well packaged, works ok on Raspberry Pi2 with dell 17" monitor. Contrast not as good as with HDMI through a HDMI screen, but does the job.
