HDMI-to-VGA converter kit

This Monoprice 11566 kit converts HDMI output from a laptop, desktop or Mac to a VGA projector. The package includes a compact converter and a matching HDMI cable. It draws operating power directly from the HDMI port, so no external adapter is required. Note that HDCP-protected discs and home-theatre sources are not supported.

Plug-and-play installation

Connect the supplied HDMI cable between the source and the converter, then attach a VGA cable to the display. The converter measures .9 by .5 by 1.7 inches and the cable connectors are .8 inches wide by .5 inches thick, leaving adjacent ports free. Because the unit relies on bus power, a weak HDMI port can cause signal drop-outs.

Pre-purchase checklist

Verify that the source device has a standard HDMI output and that the target display accepts a VGA input. Confirm the content you plan to show is not HDCP-encrypted, otherwise the adapter will not pass the signal. Ensure the three-foot HDMI cable length suits the distance between your computer and the converter location.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the HDMI-to-VGA converter is working after I connect it?

Connect the converter to an HDMI source and a VGA display; if the image appears without an external power supply, the unit is drawing power from the HDMI port and functioning correctly.

What comes in the box and what must I buy separately?

The kit includes the HDMI-to-VGA converter and a 3-foot HDMI cable with ultra-slim connectors measuring 0.8 inches wide and 0.5 inches thick; a VGA cable for the display side is not included.

Which version of this converter should I choose for a standard laptop-to-projector setup?

The single model 11566 is the only version offered; it supports non-HDCP video from laptops, desktops or Macs to VGA projectors but will not play HDCP-protected discs.
