The BENFEI VGA to HDMI Adapter is a practical and efficient solution for converting VGA signals from computers or laptops to HDMI output with 1080P resolution. It supports audio transmission, which is a valuable feature since VGA alone doesn’t carry sound. The adapter is easy to set up with a plug-and-play design, making it convenient for users needing to connect older devices to modern displays or TVs. Its compact and durable build adds to its portability and longevity. Overall, the BENFEI VGA to HDMI Adapter offers reliable performance and good value for anyone looking to bridge the gap between VGA and HDMI technology.

This cable with extra power for transmission was exactly what I needed, I just plugged it in and it worked perfectly.

I bought a new PC but wanted to keep my old PC as a spare so bought a KVM switch to connect both my old and my new PC to the same VDU. My old PC has an old-style video output whereas the KVM switch has a new styles video input so I bought this device to connect my old PC to my new KVM switch. So far, it has worked flawlessly and as it has a good solid feel about it, I am hopeful that it will just go on working quietly in the background. It seems slightly over-priced but getting next day delivery from Amazon probably justifies the price. The only reason I marked it down one star is that when I came to write this review, I found that Amazon had dropped the price of the device under a special 'deal'. This irritated me so I docked one-star from my review. Not really fair as the product itself seems excellent but then we are all human and I really don't like the way Amazon plays tricks with pricing.

We had tried a few different products to get our old laptop to display on our TV and had started to loose hope. This item was our last ditch effort before giving up in the idea and much to our joy it actually works and does so well. Very pleased

If you have an old style PC or laptop with a VGA output this product enables you to view what's on your PC or laptop on a Seperate monitor or on a smart TV. Simply connect the VGA end of the cable to the VGA output of your PC or laptop and the HDMI output end to an HDMI cable. Then connect the HDMI cable to an HDMI input on your TV or Monitor. Important points to note 1. The item requires power otherwise it will not work. To enable you to power the item up it has a USB cable. You need to plug the USB cable in to a USB socket on your PC or laptop. 2. The item will not work in reverse so you cannot use the unit to connect an HDMI output to a VGA input of a Monitor. The item is specifically intended to send the VGA signal from a PC or laptop to a Monitor or TV that has an HDMI input. 3. Some PCs have extra long bolts to enable you to bolt the VGA end of the cable on to the VGA output. If your computer has these longer type bolts on the existing VGA cable then you will need to remove them from the cable first and screw them on to this item to enable you to attach the cable to the VGA output of your PC. If you do not do this the bolts that come supplied with this item will not be long enough to enable you to attach the cable to the VGA output. I'm not sure if all VGA outputs have these longer type bolts but my old Phillips Windows XP PC certainly did. The product worked well. See attached video that shows the product in use. I've also provided a photo that shows how the bolts on my PC were longer than the ones that come with the item and so for that reason that's why I had to unscrew the bolts from the old blue cable and screw them on to this product. I hope this information helps. The video shows how I was able to project the interface of a music creation programme called Cubase that's on my PC on to my TV screen making it larger and easier to see than would have been the case on my regular smaller sized monitor.

This is my second attempt at hooking up my ipad pro to an old projector with VGA. a USB-C to VGA adapter kind of worked but didn't support HDCP so i couldn't stream prime video to my projector. So this was bought as an alternative with a hdmi to VGA conversion with this cable. It works and I'm watching old episodes of house on amazon prime probably will work with most things with hdmi out, maybe a firestick or google chromecast TV. Update google tv tried to use it with this. Initially it didn’t work for me the 1080p signal which it was set to use by default was too much for my projector , ok on a 1080p 60 monitor. Switching to 720p and reconnecting to the projector it was fine. A nice surprise was it didn’t need external power. Audio was a bit of an issue initially had the audio cable connected to the projector and it initially worked, then stopped so paired it up with a google mini. Increased to 5 stars since the external power is optional The negative usi0g a micro usb cable to power it, shouldn't it be usb C in 2025? I guess it needs power and the same usb C hub i use for the hdmi port built in also supplies the power and im apple to charge with power delivery. It even allowed my SSD drive to be mounted. I did buy prior to this a usb C hub which provided a VGA port, unfortunately it was relatively power heavy and didnt support hdcp. Anyway this device is now going to live on the back of my projector (vintage 2005-2008) and it really is a nice bit of kit. its a stereo output on the 3.5 jack but i could probably run hdmi to an arc hdmi port on a sound bar and then send the video to the projector. seems to have audio and video in sync. 4.5 stars just because of micro usb.

The headphone port broke within 1 week. Was ok while it lasted.couldnt be bothered sending it back.

If your intended purpose is to view a BIOS screen of a computer that only has VGA (like on a Dell PowerEdge server) then this BENFEI VGA to HDMI Adapter may not do what you want. It does work on newer servers but not some older ones. And it works with some displays but not others. No matter what I tried, it would not worh with a Dell R510 until the operating system had loaded. Newer servers, x20 series, work but not with all monitors (even the same monitor where a direct VGA cable works). A machine and monitor where a regular VGA-VGA cable works MAY NOT work when used with the adapter into the HDMI port of the same monitor. I have had mixed results and am quite disappointed. This is not necessarily the fault of the adapter but the fact that it doesn't "just work" for any VGA signal is a disappointment. It does work once the machine is booted but that is not the point. You cannot rely on this to see the BIOS screen of the computer. I returned this item and bought another one by LINDY. That one worked, but with its own issues. But at least it displays the bios screens.
