Vszerda HDMI Female to VGA Male Adapter with Audio

Purpose and compatibility

This adapter converts an HDMI digital signal to a VGA analogue signal for connecting modern laptops or desktops to older monitors or projectors. It supports 720p and 1080p resolutions and works with Windows XP through 10, Apple, Linux and macOS systems without driver installation. The device draws power directly from the HDMI port so no external supply is required. It is not suited for users needing two-way conversion or higher resolutions than 1080p.

Audio handling

A 3.5 mm audio jack and a 100 mm audio cable are included because the VGA interface cannot transmit sound independently. The converter separates the audio stream from the HDMI source and routes it to headphones or speakers through this jack. Buyers who want audio carried over the same cable as video should note that VGA does not support this. The adapter also supports HDMI v1 and 3D content pass-through.

Key specification

The single detail that decides fit is the fixed conversion direction: HDMI female input to VGA male output only. The unit measures 49 x 34.2 x 15.6 mm with a 0.3 m lead and weighs 53 g, housed in an ABS shell with an upgraded low-power control chip. If your source has a VGA port and your display has HDMI, this adapter will not work.
