HDMI Source to VGA Display

Picked up the BENFEI HDMI to VGA adapter to connect my new laptop to older projectors and VGA monitors at work. It works perfectly right out of the box—no drivers, no flickering, instant 1080p every time. Build feels sturdy with gold-plated connectors; it’s survived daily use and getting tossed in my bag for over a year with zero issues. Great picture, reliable performance, and unbeatable price. If you need a simple, uni-directional HDMI-to-VGA solution that just works, this is it. Highly recommend!

It does work good. Nice and affordable price.

This solved a perplexing problem for me, connecting HDMI to a screen projector. As HDMI connectors have no latching mechanism, my connection would fail whenever the cable got moved or disturbed. With this adapter, I can have a screwed-in connection to my projector. It is important to realize that a VGA connection does not carry audio, so this is for video connections alone. Perfect for me! Additionally, the HDMI port on this adapter has a very positive tactile connection, which improves confidence in the integrity of the connection.

Worked perfectly for the intended use.

Works exactly as intended. Arrived just in time for work.

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.

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.

It works but the display is fuzzy. Display using HDMI to HDMI is sharp.
