BENFEI VGA to HDMI Adapter, 1080P Converter with Audio From Computer/Laptop VGA Source to HDMI TV/Monitor

Firstly, look at the order of the ports in the name. This takes VGA output, combines it with power from a USB port, and outputs an HDMI that works with most modern monitors. You need a spare USB port for it, and it only works one way. It's reliable and durable. I've had 2 running for over 3 years without any problems. You'll probably want to get a longer cable to run from the adapter to the monitor as the cables for the adapter inputs are quite short. It's all black, so even though mostly you won't see it because it's behind your PC, it will blend in nicely with the rest of your black cables! Good value

If you have an old style PC or laptop with a VGA output this product enables you to view what's on your PC or laptop on a Seperate monitor or on a smart TV. Simply connect the VGA end of the cable to the VGA output of your PC or laptop and the HDMI output end to an HDMI cable. Then connect the HDMI cable to an HDMI input on your TV or Monitor. Important points to note 1. The item requires power otherwise it will not work. To enable you to power the item up it has a USB cable. You need to plug the USB cable in to a USB socket on your PC or laptop. 2. The item will not work in reverse so you cannot use the unit to connect an HDMI output to a VGA input of a Monitor. The item is specifically intended to send the VGA signal from a PC or laptop to a Monitor or TV that has an HDMI input. 3. Some PCs have extra long bolts to enable you to bolt the VGA end of the cable on to the VGA output. If your computer has these longer type bolts on the existing VGA cable then you will need to remove them from the cable first and screw them on to this item to enable you to attach the cable to the VGA output of your PC. If you do not do this the bolts that come supplied with this item will not be long enough to enable you to attach the cable to the VGA output. I'm not sure if all VGA outputs have these longer type bolts but my old Phillips Windows XP PC certainly did. The product worked well. See attached video that shows the product in use. I've also provided a photo that shows how the bolts on my PC were longer than the ones that come with the item and so for that reason that's why I had to unscrew the bolts from the old blue cable and screw them on to this product. I hope this information helps. The video shows how I was able to project the interface of a music creation programme called Cubase that's on my PC on to my TV screen making it larger and easier to see than would have been the case on my regular smaller sized monitor.

This cord did serve its purpose, helping me connect my laptop to my monitor. The only challenge I experienced I faced is that when I play a video after the connection, I can’t hear the sound.

Great price and works straight out of the box. No trouble connected it to an older computer using the vga screws and connected the USB connector which powers its use and must be done. Plugged in the HDMI and on my 32 inch monitor it looks great!

The BENFEI VGA to HDMI Adapter is a practical and efficient solution for converting VGA signals from computers or laptops to HDMI output with 1080P resolution. It supports audio transmission, which is a valuable feature since VGA alone doesn’t carry sound. The adapter is easy to set up with a plug-and-play design, making it convenient for users needing to connect older devices to modern displays or TVs. Its compact and durable build adds to its portability and longevity. Overall, the BENFEI VGA to HDMI Adapter offers reliable performance and good value for anyone looking to bridge the gap between VGA and HDMI technology.

If your intended purpose is to view a BIOS screen of a computer that only has VGA (like on a Dell PowerEdge server) then this BENFEI VGA to HDMI Adapter may not do what you want. It does work on newer servers but not some older ones. And it works with some displays but not others. No matter what I tried, it would not worh with a Dell R510 until the operating system had loaded. Newer servers, x20 series, work but not with all monitors (even the same monitor where a direct VGA cable works). A machine and monitor where a regular VGA-VGA cable works MAY NOT work when used with the adapter into the HDMI port of the same monitor. I have had mixed results and am quite disappointed. This is not necessarily the fault of the adapter but the fact that it doesn't "just work" for any VGA signal is a disappointment. It does work once the machine is booted but that is not the point. You cannot rely on this to see the BIOS screen of the computer. I returned this item and bought another one by LINDY. That one worked, but with its own issues. But at least it displays the bios screens.

Excellent item, solved the connection issue between my monitor and computer.

Does what it say on the tin.....helps adapt your older PC, Server and Laptops with VGA outputs to very goo quality 1080p HDMI video output. To me then be used on more modem TV's or Monitors, as this self powering VGA to HDMI adaptor using the USB leads it clean, quick, simple to install and can be easily converged to a Digital Display Port (DP) port on you monitor, if one is free, only by using another HDMP to DP adaptor (not supplied). The builld qualaity looks solid and this is a very useful product.

I bought the BENFEI VGA to HDMI Adapter to connect an older laptop to a newer monitor, and it worked perfectly. The setup was very straightforward—just plug everything in, connect the USB for power and audio, and it was ready to go. The 1080p resolution looks clear and sharp, which is great for both work and watching videos. What I really like is that it also supports audio, so you don’t need a separate cable for sound. Everything runs through the HDMI connection once it’s set up, which keeps things simple and clean. The adapter itself is compact and lightweight, making it easy to carry around for presentations or use in different setups. Overall, this adapter is a great solution if you need to connect an older VGA device to a modern HDMI display. It’s reliable, easy to use, and does exactly what it’s supposed to do without any hassle. Definitely a good value for the price.
