This adapter works well but was not able to scale the resolution for the HP RAID controller BIOS setup screen to a 1080p HDMI monitor. It works great for everything else including the main system BIOS though.

Works fine for connecting a desktop pc VGA to a Promethean ActivPanel HDMI. When the USB is used as well, the sound works but experiences a mild loss of quality and the speakers occasionally make a pop sound, about every 2 minutes.

I am using the "Cable Matters VGA to HDMI Adapter for Monitor and TV (VGA to HDMI Converter) with Audio Support" cable to connect my 2005 Sony Desktop Computer to a Samsung 32-inch LED TV. The setup involves connecting the VGA plug on the adapter module to the Sony computer and then a HDMI cable from the HDMI port of the cable module to the TV. It has worked consistently well for over a year. I recommend the product as I have described.

When I was looking for an adapter to go from VGA output to HDMI there were a lot of choices and unfortunately the first one I chose was not what I was looking for and impossible to install due to space restrictions on VGA end. I returned the adapter without any problem and ordered the one I have now. It was exactly what I wanted and needed; it fit on the back of the computer perfectly and had ample cable to nearly plug and play. Easy to install and works like a charm. I would buy again if needed and when I finally buy a new computer, I may need it again. Great product and well made.

Trying to connect a new monitor to an older desktop tower was challenging, until I came across this gem - Thank you! Works perfect. Unhooked the old monitor & connected the VGA (blue monitor connection @ back of tower) to the desktop, plugged the USB into the back of tower - connected an HDMI cable (you will need a separate HDMI cable) to the adapter & plugged the other end to the new monitor. That's it! Plug and Play - Works great - no lag & sound (from the built in monitor speakers) is there. Couldn't be happier for a $22 solution!

As l have an older computer but have an amazing monitor, this was much needed to view videos in HD. This product does as it says it will do. Great little add for those who have older computers.

This adapter kept me from having to spend money for a new system. The cable adapter works great. Works well with older computers that do not have HDMI ports or space to add an additional video card. I had an older model computer that only had a VGA port for video.When I connected this cable adapter I was able to use it with a monitor that only took HDMI connections. Just for giggles and laughs, I wanted to see if it would connect through a docking station and it worked! The video took about a half second longer to start broadcasting, initially. After that, I call it the 'adjusting phase' , the video was fine. The sound and volume, on the other hand, had to be adjusted through the operating systems sound software.The price was absolutely worth it and the shipping was fast. I order and got the product in December 2021. The only thing left, in my book, is to see how long it lasts. Right now, I give this product a thumbs up.

Updated 12/12/18-I am really impressed with not only the adapter but also the cable matters company. I had posted a negative review when the adapter I purchased suddenly stopped working and almost immediately the company contacted me to fix the problem. They sent me a brand new adapter at no cost to me and it is perfect. They even sent me a postage paid return label to send back the broken one so they could see what went wrong. To me that is a sign of a great company who wants all their customers to be satisfied. Thank you so much Cable matters for taking the time to address and correct the problem.The VGA to HDMI adapter is amazing. I am able to hook my old laptop to my TV and watch my movies beautifully. It is plug and play which is a huge plus! There is no lag between picture and sound which also makes it a great choice. I HIGHLY recommend this product if you need to adapt between VGA and HDMI.

I think this may be the first 1 start review I have ever left. I was so excited to get this cable I couldn't wait to set it up. I'm not sure if it's me or the cable but I can't get it work- No audio, no picture I tried everything!!! *Disclaimer* even if it's me this thing deserves one star based on the simple fact there are no instructions with it! I'm not a tech guru but I do know my way around a computer... this seemed very simple so I wasn't worried that others said it didn't have any instructions. My set up: HP PC Desktop running Windows 7. I have an HP monitor but I wanted to connect my PC to my 32 inch Dynex LCD TV. I connected the VGA end of the cable to the PC and plugged in the usb to a port on my pc. My PC quickly loaded the driver. I then connected the HDMI to the black connector box and the other end of HDMI to the TV. I then powered the TV on and selected the appropriate HDMI input (in this case HDMI 1) My tv showed a message "retrieving data" then after a few moments read "no signal". I tried various usb ports,different hdmi inputs, different hdmi cables but nothing worked. I disconnected everything and reconnected SEVERAL times. Nothing. I changed display settings on tv and pc (literally tried every setting). Nothing. I even tried to connect the usb using a wall charger.. nothing. I then thought maybe it's my PC.. maybe it's too old. So I did this same thing with my Dell laptop also running Windows 7. Nothing. Then I thought maybe it's my TV! So I then tried this all again with another tv (Sony Bravia 46 inch LCD) Nothing. As a test I connected my laptop using the HDMI and it worked no problems. Which tells me it's this cable that is not working. Ok another test... I decided to connect my 32 Dynex to my computer using the VGA input. I previously purchased a double sided VGA w mini jack audio to VGA w mini jack audio to connect this same PC to my Dynex TV and it worked fine. - I know what you are thinking.. then just go with that... problem is I am going to purchase a new 43 inch tv that doesn't have VGA.. so I thought this cable would be the perfect fix. But it's not working.I have read so many of the reviews and all the questions posted.. and I have tried everything. I don't get how so many say this works and yet there are a significant amount of people who this doesn't work for. If someone could tell me what I am doing wrong I would be so grateful.. otherwise this is going back. I do want to note one thing.. even though nothing works.. from what I can tell once you connect the USB (which is designed to deliver both power and audio) your computer speakers stop working. Even though I never got video or audio from this thing I did immediately noticed that once I plugged in the USB my PC speakers stopped working .. just a note for anyone who may have wanted to have audio from PC instead of TV.. I know this may not be common but for me it was important. I have professional music studio speakers connected to my PC and I intended to use them as the primary source for audio. If anyone has any tips on why this may not be working, please help!
