JideTech1080P VGA to HDMI Converter with 3.5mm Audio Port for PC Laptop Display Computer Mac Projector

Works right out of the box. I was able to use both the native resolution and refresh rate of my VGA monitor. The display name even shows up on windows instead of the name of the adapter. If you're strapped for cash, this plus a VGA monitor from goodwill are pretty great for a secondary display.

I'm preparing to purchase a new TV to replace my ancient relic that had a VGA input on it. My A/V setup includes a computer with an VGA output, to stream online courses and such. I've previously had a great deal of trouble with such converters. Either they are very limited in resolutions they can convert, or have a very bad conversion quality. This one just worked! When I set the computer to a lower resolution that's uncommon these days, it followed right along without complaining. The sound adapter was also perfect. It's also built like a tank. A bit pricey but I ended up feeling that it was good value for the money. I would certainly buy another if I needed this functionality again.

I learned something... Just because you buy a VGA to HDMI cable to use a PC with a flatscreen TV, it doesn't mean it's just going to work like a monitor and a PC. Apparently monitors are designed to work with PCs so buying a two-way cable to adapted video feed works.My Flatscreen TV however, could not find the signal when switching to HDMI 1. That's when I figured I needed some kind of special converter and went browsing on Amazon. The JideTech 1080P VGA to HDMI Converter work great!Easy to setup and use and comes with screw holes so you can mount this to your wall/tv if need be.The only question now is, how long will it last... I guess I'll find out.

This was an awesome product! I use two towers and this switch helped me so I can use the same two monitors and not always have to replug in new ones.

Product works exactly as described and feels more solid and reliable compared to cheaper, smaller in line converters.I (naively) hoped this would support low input VGA resolutions from a 1996 era build but it struggles to resolve signals thru post and refuses to display bios config due to low resolution. Works great for 800x600 and above, 480P sometimes I get it to work but unreliably. I suppose that's the nature of the beast of trying to convert an analog signal to digital; I'll need to shell out extra for an Extron RGB-HDMI 300 to get the capability I need for retro system capture.

Works as advertised! Allowed me to view my older computer files on a new monitor.

This could not keep up with the data stream from google Chromecast going to a 15 pin sub-D VGA connector -- RGB into a Pioneer 50 inch plasma screen. It freezes the video stream every few seconds momentarily and the the audio drops out as well.

I have a gajillion monitors scattered over a wide area, using the 1080P format (1920x1080, 30 Hz). I use a lot of KVM over RJ45 extenders (uncompressed), raspberry PI with VGA to receive information over the network, and just old PCs. That is to say, I have a mish-mash of DVI, HDMI, Display Port, and VGA to deal with - while modern inexpensive displays are HDMI, and that's about it. Rather than replace some expensive hardware to mate up with new displays, this is an inexpensive work around that provides excellent results.Most modern displays have at least one USB port as well, so I can use my USB A - to 2.1mm male barrel cables to power this device. The unit uses 5VDC at 500ma, so no need to use the clunky power adapter that comes with it if I have that USB cable (not provided with this device - it is a separate purchase).I looked at units (with male pins) that plug directly into the VGA port on the video device, but male units are more likely to be too bulky to fit behind the device. This connects to the VGA cord, then I just attach this device to the back of the display and use short HDMI and USB cables to finish the install. If I need to extend the distance between the device and the display, this isn't a bad way to go.
