Gold-Plated Active HDMI to VGA Adapter, 10 Pack, Male to Female with Micro USB Power Cable & 3.5mm Audio Port Cable for PS4, MacBook Pro, Mac mini, Apple TV

5 Stars. A truly "plug-and-play" plug. No drivers required, at least on my linux and Windoze PC's. I picked this item up because I have access to several older monitors, very good quality display for their day, but lower resolution, and only accepting VGA input. The little monitors are perfect for DIY projects, Raspberry Pi setups, secondary displays for HTPCs or dedicated audio player setups, second little screen to display weather forecast or your stock market/cryptocurrency ticker or security camera footage...you get the idea. I've been picking up these great little used VGA monitors for around $6 each. The shopkeeper just said "no one wants anything that won't take HDMI input anymore."So, not only does this inexpensive adapter allow me to plug HDMI output into any of these VGA monitors, it even comes with a headphone jack to tap into the HD audio output that's contained within the HDMI output! There's also a micro usb port in the adapter to provide additional power, presumably for the audio jack, maybe if you wanted to listen to headphones or something. The USB power jack is not necessary for the HDMI video to VGA video to work.The overall build quality and construction feels sturdy. This doesn't feel like a cheap no-name adapter from China that's going to fail after a few weeks, intuition tells me it'll last. If I have any issues down the line, I'll report back.It more than pays for its self by making cheap displays compatible with modern hardware.FYI - this product only works in one direction: HDMI signal to VGA display. If you're looking for the reverse you'll need a different product.

This is a review of the active version.I bought a two pack. My arrangement includes two older computers running W7P and a new micro computer running W11P. I have a 4 port iOGear KVM switch that has VGA inputs/outputs. One of the W7P computers has a 1050Ti video card which has HDMI, DP and DVI ports. The micro computer has only HDMI ports.I plugged one of these adapters into the 1050Ti video card and the other adapter into the micro computer, and used on-board USB ports for power. Both were then attached to the KVM.Both work exactly as described in the write up. As I write this, I've never had any issue whatsoever in the roughly 3 weeks they've been installed.I highly recommend them and hope those that try using them have as much success as I've had.

I found the adapter to work very well when converting an HDMI signal to VGA. In fact, I discovered I didn't even need the additional 5V of power from the USB cable included. BUT, I found that out after a small surge traveled the line and fried my Wii2HDMI adapter. Now, it could have been the Wii2HDMI adapter destroying itself all on its own (it's not the best tech), but I did notice the surge happen live. This is why I unplugged the 5V of power from the USB connector on the Moread adapter. So my advice is to try the adapter without the 5V first and see if the signal is strong enough without it, just in case.

I used this HDMI to VGA adapter to convert the digital HDMI signals from both a Blu-ray player and a Roku stick to an older Dell projector with analog VGA input. It worked very well with both sources without any problems. For the Roku stick I needed a female to female HDMI adapter which is not included. The projector was able to handle many different resolution settings. With the Roku stick I got a slight noise in the image when using 1080p resolution. Changing it to the native resolution of the projector of 720p it cleared up. I didn't need a separate power supply for these two sources but it is good that it can be added for some devices that don't have enough power on the HDMI output.There are no adjustments on the adapter. If the display or projector needs a different resolution you have to change it at the source. Most devices can be changed from auto to a fixed setting such as 720p.I connected the 3.5mm jack audio output with a cable to a separate speaker.I had no problems. This is an excellent product especially considering the very low price.

This worked as advertised.I always think the price can be a little lower.

Review Title:With audio port, and it comes with 12-month warranty!Review Text:I got a second hand Dell XPS 15 (Windows 10) to replace my aging 9 year old XP machine. I used to connect the old machine to extend the desktop with my old monitor, which only had a vga to vga cable. The XPS 15, however, lacked a VGA port but with only one HDMI port. I got this adapter so I could keep it cheap and keep the monitor. Initially, I forgot to use the usb cable and tried to connect my XPS 15 to the monitor directly, it came out with "Enter Power Saving Mode" and didn't work. I had to say that Moread customer service was really great. They helped me solve the problem.It does exactly what it is supposed to. The product seems to be durable.Pros:- It works flawlessly so far- It is surprisingly affordable- Sound supported. It has an audio jack for 3.5 mm stereo- 30-day money-back guarantee and 12-month warranty- Amazing customer serviceCons:- None thus far. I will update my review as I find negatives

Frankly, don't buy it. Stopped working after a month.

good as advertised
