Though it was difficult to connect because of the size of the adapter and my large fingers. It does work. Some things you just can't find locally.

I connected this vga adapter to a hp vga monitor then connected a hdmi cable on one end to the adapter and then other end into a Nintendo switch. And I also connected the power USB and other know power usbs to the adapter. I also replaced the hdmi cable for know working hdmi cables. Try as I might the monitor still said no signal.Sadly this product does not work.

It let me hook up an old laptop to the TV. You need to download the .....NOT!!! I lied. It worked immediately.This is great given that I expected tons of problems getting video drivers and such for HDMI. You just plug it in and it worked immediately. I suddenly have a new monitor for the laptop. It happens to be called a TV. Now I have been using ubuntu linux on the laptop. I just needed to go to "display" to decide how I wanted to see it. It already recognized the TV as soon as I powered up the adaptor. For me, the linux laptop needed the TV on so I could see the login prompt. That is no problem without a TV later at all. Just reboot with the bugger unplugged.Oh I suppose with TV 1 you might have the screen resolution off. Or with TV2 you have a higher resolution that leads to unused portions of the TV. That can be fixed quickly with the "display" option on linux. You see there are more than 2 TV's on Earth. It is quite possible that my experience is different from yours because YOU do not have my two TV sets. My TV's both worked fine.Steps... 0.... turn on the TV and the PC/laptop.1. plug it into the VGA port on the PC or laptop.2. plug in the 1/8 inch audio cord into the PC/laptop headphone jack, and the other end into the adaptor.3. plug one end of an HDMI cord into the adaptor, the other end into the TV.4. Power up the adaptor via the power cord from the adaptor into an open USB port on the PC or laptop.For screen resolution, look to the display options on the PC.For TV to see the PC/laptop, hit the "source" button on the TV remote.For sound, make sure the PC/laptop sound is not muted or too quiet. Make sure the TV volume is ok also.It you play some video, the screen resolution might be off such that you cannot see the start/stop buttons of the VLC Player (or windows media player, or parole player, or....etc etc). Try using "display" option on the PC/laptop. Try increasing the screen resolution for the video that goes out to the TV. No good? Do NOT maximize the video, instead you the mouse to adjust the window of the application running the video. just make it slightly less than the size of the screen.Meh... I probably talked too much. It took a lot longer to type this, than to use the adaptor.

Oh my! This little device is incredible! I am so happy I discovered it and bought it.The screen on my laptop is out, this was way cheaper than fixing it. I'm using an LG 55 INCH TV and it's perfect! Especially since I got the TV for free, customer said it had lines on the screen and they ordered a new one, I kept this one and there's no lines on the screen! One thing to know, I tried it on a plasma, it doesn't work.

It works just fine out-of-the-box if you use it properly - so read more and pay attention.YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE USB cable plugged into a powered USB port, because it needs power to work!NO POWER, NO WORKEY!I am using this item on an older computer that only has a VGA out port so that I can use a newer monitor that only has an HDMI port. IT WORKS JUST FINE for that! Only works from computer VGA port to HDMI monitor or TV port - and only if it has power. It only works in the from-a-computer-to-a-video-display direction.NOTE: IF YOU TRY TO USE IT TO A VGA MONITOR, IT WILL NOT WORK IN THAT DIRECTION because it is not made to do that.The provided audio cable can be plugged into your computer speaker out port and into the device, which allows the device to have an audio signal from your computer (if the computer audio port has a signal) on the HDMI out (say you wanted to play a DVD on the old computer, and wanted to plug the computer into a large screen TV to see and hear the movie playing on the computer). But you don't need to have the audio if all you are interested in is the computer display -- but it's there if you want to use it!For me, this is a very useful device, allowing me to use older computers with newer monitors or a large screen LCD TV. Very cool! Decent picture - keep in mind that the original signal is VGA, so the quality can only be as good as the VGA signal coming out of your computer. THE DEVICE WORKS AND DOES WHAT IT IS DESIGNED TO DO.Hope this review helps you non-technical people. It really is a good and useful product if you use it correctly.

I believe this item would probably be fine for laptops, but not so much for a desktop PC tower. The screws that are meant to secure the item to the VGA output are simply not long enough to do their job. With the unit plugged in, the screws just spin and spin. The result, at least in my case, was that the unit sort of *hung* on the back of the tower instead of sticking straight out perpendicular to the back of the PC tower. I presume that affected the quality of the connection of some of the pins. The only image on the monitor was the PC's company logo in black and white at startup, but that was it. The screen was simply black after that. I believe that was because the PC lacked a secure connection to the monitor because it works quite well with a VGA/DVI monitor.Other than that, the device was easy to install and not terribly expensive. If there is something to stabilize the connection, such as the table a laptoop is sitting on, this would probably be perfect for getting a VGA output to display on a screen with HDMI input.
