  Includes a sound card, so you may need to keep this in mind if suddenly your sound stops working. Simply change the audio source in the application or globally in the settings. Quite useful for older devices

  Although we have some issues with the touch screen changing color on its own, it does a good job overall

  The Ugreen HDMI to VGA adapter cable comes in excellent sealed packaging with a micro USB power cable that I did not use. It is suitable for computer monitors, televisions, projectors, and generally any device with a VGA input port. The adapter casing is made of glossy plastic. The 16 cm cable that connects the two plugs is flat and quite durable.
  I have been using the Ugreen adapter for 11 months on a computer that does not have a VGA output to connect to an old monitor with a resolution of 1920 x 1080, and it does a very good job. It also has a 3.5mm jack output for connecting the HDMI to speakers, which means it can also serve as an HDMI to Audio output adapter.
  It is powered by a micro USB port, but in my case, it works without any additional power source. The only downside is that the connection is only one way, from HDMI out to VGA in (the opposite is not supported). This video includes unboxing, measurements of dimensions, as well as testing the HDMI-VGA adapter on a wired connection from a Dell Inspiron 15 laptop to a Panasonic TV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KcgdSGVvmsQ

  Connected to a laptop. It may be defective, or it may be the fault of the cable even though it is brand new, but:
  1. When the screen auto adjusts, the image becomes distorted and requires manual adjustment.
  2. When the laptop goes into standby, the screen does not turn off but displays a "check cable" message. This means they did not bother to configure it to give the corresponding command to the screen. This happens with or without external USB power.
  For me, it is a useless product.

  I have connected a Raspberry Pi running Retropie (retro videogame emulator) to an older 4:3 monitor with VGA input and it plays wonderfully. Recommended!

  I bought it to connect my MacBook to the outdated school projector that still has a scart connection, but it didn't work. I should note that I used this adapter (scart to hdmi) on the scart of the projector and on top of it, I used a second adapter hdmi to usb-c to connect it to the Mac. The image appeared, but it was not stable, my computer screen would turn black every few seconds. Maybe if it was directly connected to a computer with hdmi, it would have better performance, but for Mac, definitely not

  I bought it to connect an old VGA / 1280x1024 monitor to an HDMI output graphics card. It worked by simply connecting it to HDMI (without needing additional power) and the image quality is *excellent*.

  Minus one star because occasionally the HDMI-VGA connection momentarily cuts off, for about 1 second. It happens randomly, on average once a day, and it didn't seem to improve by connecting the additional power through USB to the converter.

  Very good! with a value of 2-3 euros wholesale and 7+ retail and it is perfect for a screen that has a broken HDMI port that does not display an image and for TVs with a VGA input by connecting this excellent little thing to any device you want, apart from the motherboard/graphics card.

  It does a great job, almost comparable to the Onboard DAC of the graphics card. Keep in mind that we are talking about a device that costs around 7-8 euros and includes a USB cable for power supply. The sound is very good and in my case, it may even be better than the Onboard sound card. It works perfectly with audio and video through the HDMI output of my motherboard, without needing power supply.

  Perfect!!!
  LG TV from 2001 connected to a switch (I had it connected to a receiver before and I changed it to a switch to connect other devices on top) and it works PERFECTLY.
  It is easy to use, you simply connect one end of a VGA cable to the TV and the other end to the adapter, and then to any device/switch/splitter you want, and it works with all the tests that were done...
  Note: The package only includes a short micro-USB power cable (I replaced it with a longer one since it wasn't long enough to power from another source) and it doesn't have sound even though it has a port. If you have speakers and want sound, you can connect them, otherwise you can output sound from devices like I did.

  It works great and it's plug and play. I connected it to an old monitor that only has VGA output and it worked perfectly. It also comes with a cable for extra power supply, but it seems like it's only necessary if you have multiple monitors connected with a hub. It works without it as well. And of course, it has an audio input.

  I bought it to connect an old monitor that had VGA and so far it works great. This one has a micro USB port for extra power, without which it wouldn't work because I connected the HDMI to the graphics card and the VGA cable to the adapter, but I couldn't see any signal on the screen. As soon as I connected the micro USB for power, it worked immediately, so this specific product is worth it

  The product connects to HDMI and a VGA cable. It is very easy. It supports up to 1080p, which is more than enough. The VGA monitor I have works at 720P with 60hz, which is very common for older monitors. It also has an audio port, which is very convenient when switching between devices to have only one cable. The adapter can be connected to an Asus laptop or a Nintendo Switch without any issues.

  The adapter works perfectly, I had no issues. I used it on both my PS3 and PS4 with a Dell monitor with a resolution of 1366x768 without any problems. It also works for televisions with broken HDMI ports, as long as they have a VGA input and can support resolutions up to 1920x1080.

  The adapter does exactly what it promises, 60Hz, maximum resolution 1080p, and it worked on both a PC and a TV decoder with HDMI output to an old LG VGA monitor.

  Very good device, I connected a Nintendo Switch to it on a VGA screen and it was perfect. It does some kind of processing, because my screen showed the Switch that was set to 1080p, even though it doesn't support that resolution (1680x1050), and the aspect ratio was also strange (the screen is 16:10, so it stretched). I set the switch to 720p and it looked maybe better, without stretching, in 16:9, with black bars of course, so I will blame my old screen. Then I connected it to a laptop on the same screen, Windows automatically found the screen resolution and everything played normally, as expected. It also worked without power, but I have it connected anyway. The speaker jack takes the sound from HDMI and outputs it to a 3.5mm plug without any problem.

  Fully functional with PS4 (specifically the Slim). Thanks to the power supply, it responds without any problems, unlike other cheap commercial options. It's worth it as you will pay for something that you will definitely know how it works. Finally, many people talk about HDMI switch/splitter, but it is not necessary at all with this specific converter.
  P.S.: To make it work, disable HDCP (settings->system->disable HDCP)

  Very good build quality. It was used on an old VGA monitor and worked perfectly connected to both a Mac computer (in FULL HD resolution) and a DIGEA digital decoder for watching TV programs. The great advantage of this adapter is that it has extra power supply via a microUSB cable (the cable is included in the package), providing enough voltage to make it work (when I connected it to the computer without the microUSB cable, the screen simply didn't work). Additionally, a big positive is that it also provides audio output, so the sound from HDMI can be directed to external speakers. WARNING: it transfers HDMI signal to VGA, not the other way around (for example, connecting a computer with a VGA port to a screen with HDMI using this adapter). Choose it over cheap or cheaper solutions, so you can be sure that it will do its job. We usually try to save a few euros by buying something cheap, only to end up buying a second one because the first one doesn't work.

  The key is that it accepts external power supply via micro USB (cable not included). All failed uses of HDMI -> VGA converters are due to the fact that most (if not all) PCIe graphics cards do not provide enough power through the HDMI port for the converter to function properly, unlike onboard HDMI ports that provide sufficient power. That's why there are converter manufacturers who do not recommend their use with PCIe.
  The external power supply solves the problem. I give it power through a USB port (USB -> microUSB).
  In terms of image quality, it surpasses the quality of the VGA port of the graphics card. I use it at 1680x1050 and it is flawless.
  I highly recommend it.
