BENFEI HDMI to VGA, Uni-Directional HDMI Computer to VGA Monitor Adapter (Female to Male) with 3.5mm Audio Jack Compatible with TV Stick, Computer, Desktop, Laptop, PC, Monitor, Projector, Roku, Xbox

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.

This works as expected with an Epson projector and Microsoft wireless display adapter. I did not need to plug in power to the display adapter but YMMV.

Well after six years of use, my amazing $1,300+ Optoma HD 3D DLP projector's HDMI ports both quit working last year and I thought it was done for. So I replaced the projector but didn't have the heart to get rid of it. Since selling the new one (along with the house it was attached to) and moving to another place, I decided to give it the old college try - I checked out a do it yourself youtube video to repair the HDMI ports. After spending many hours taking the projector apart, heating up the motherboard with a heat gun and putting it back together (which I wouldn't recommend to most people), it still wouldn't work. Fancy that.So after that great learning experience I called Optoma (very helpful techs). Little did I know, the VGA port also provided an input with 1080p HD quality. And the tech suggested I try that. Well if you're reading this, you probably already knew that could work, with an adapter of course. And so I tried this one and it worked beautifully, at least with my blu-ray player.Apple TV didn't work with it though, and I was sad. I thought it was an updated HDCP compliance thing that could block the digital to analog conversion. But hey, I missed something in the adapter instructions (somewhere in the product description). It says to plug up the mini-USB power supply cord, or else it might not work right. They were correct! I plugged in the power and voila! Apple TV works fine. And with the little 3.5 audio jack port, the audio sounds great too. I really needed something like that because I'm using my ancient, still works great, pre-HDMI Kenwood receiver. I just can't get over how a $10 converter redeemed my broken projector and old receiver and saved me the cost of hundreds of dollars to repair the HDMI ports. Great product! It's been many years since I've posted a review here, but I just had to this time. Couldn't be happier!

Worked perfectly for the intended use.

I have a number of monitors that are 8 years old or so that don't have hdmi connectors. I purchased this item so I could connect one of them to my laptop that has an hdmi output to be used for an external monitor. When I connected the hdmi converter the screen displayed "THIS FORMAT IS NOT SUPPORTED".i tried it on two different monitors - one Hewlett Packard and one Dell. Both screens showed the same message. I didn't bother to return it because it was less than $10 and wasn't worth the trouble. It was most disappointing...

Bought this in February, and hasn't worked right since purchase. It constantly blurs my screen and I have to keep adjusting the cable position until it works again. It just like having earbuds back in the early 2000s.

after best buy kept giving me the wrong part, this part works! connecting to an old projector that only has vga. Nice part of it, it allowed sound to pass as well.

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