Fast and Helpful
I have tested this adaptor with a different combination of computers, monitors and projectors without any big issues.
The adapter comes in a small box the size of a cell phone but the thickness of two. The box is very difficult to open and the adapter sits in a flimsy tray within the box. The packaging was all wrecked removing the adaptor for the first time.

Not sure if the adaptor was defective but was not working properly. Exchanged it and picked up one from NXT Technologies and worked fine.

Installing HD2VGAA2 adapter
Nice box, big price at best buy, but absolutely no instructions in the box, the provider assumes that we are all computer savvy, video works great, but what do I connect to the 3.5mm ?? and what gets connected to what appears to be a phone usb connection. a little piece of paper in the box would help a lot, or, print needs and requirements on the side of the box. ...

Response from Staples :
Thank you for reviewing our HD2VGAA2, we apologize the use of these ports was unclear.
This adapter is made to take an HDMI signal from a laptop or other HDMI device, and convert it to a VGA video signal for a VGA monitor. The 3.5mm jack should be connected to any speakers you want to use for sound. The Micro-USB port on this device is not commonly needed, but some setups need extra power to the adapter and for those rare cases you could use a USB to Micro-USB cable.
If you have any further questions or anything is unclear, please contact our support team available 24 hours a day 5 days a week at 1 800 265 1844 or www.startech.com/chat.

Great video but no audio at all
I bought this for my job where I need to project videos that include audio. I am not able to get any audio from the converter. Maybe I need to provide external power to solve that_

It does not appear to work
Just bought this adapter to be able to connect my Raspberry Pi 3 to an Acer VGA monitor. First attempts brought no success without external power. After plugging in my cellular charger Rpi screen shown up for about 2 secs then display went black.
The same happened when I connected the monitor to my decent MacBook Pro laptop.
Now I'm stuck and don't know where to go now...

Thank you for leaving your feedback on HD2VGAA2. We apologize that it isn't working for you!
Since it works for a few seconds before cutting out, it sounds like it may be having power-related problems or simply be a faulty unit.

Easy plug and play
I got this product for test and it is small and easy to use.
I tested it with Dell, HP and Asus without a problem as good plug and play product.
The only issue was on the Lenovo laptop which I had to reboot it to work.
I recommend this adapter.

Works best with external power.
My Dell and 2016 Macbook Pro work just fine with this adapter. Even passing it through a USB-C to HDMI adapter on my 2017 Macbook works. No drivers, it just works. Don't try to go over FHD though.
On my Chromebook and older HDMI enabled laptops though, it required external power to be stable. I just used a small USB to mUSB cable, and it worked. Also usable with a...

Good adapter not very good documentation with it
Overall I am very happy with this product the video portion worked without issue for me.
I plugged it in and the video worked just fine with my projector.
The audio did function fine and did give me the results I was after.
What I did not like was the lack of any documentation with this product.

HDMI - VGA Adapter with Audio
Functional Adapter that removes the need for a separate Audio adapter. Nice crisp resolution. It is as simple as plug and play

Not working!
Just received this today, as soon as I plug it onto my mac book pro, the laptop screen starts flashing, indicating it is receiving signals from the external monitor but also losing it all the time. Changed several VGA cables but no difference. Changed to apple mini DP to VGA adapter and that works fine.

Thank you for sharing your review of our HD2VGAA2. We apologize for the problems you've had so far and would like to help.
When using this adapter with MacBooks, we recommend using the USB cable to provide additional power for our converter. Some MacBooks don't provide enough power over just the HDMI connection.
We hope this helps. If you would like to troubleshoot further, please call 1-800-265-1844 or chat live with us at https://www.startech.com/Chat

Not working at 1920x1200
I have dual 1920x1200 VGA monitors that worked fine with a dual VGA graphics card. I now have a GTX1060 graphics card which only has HDMI outputs so I thought this device would save me from buying new monitors. The problem is that the graphics card detects the monitor as being 1920x1080, and I would have no problem even running the monitors in that mode, except that wit...

Hi,
Thanks for sharing your review of our HD2VGAA2.
We're very sorry for the confusion, unfortunately this adapter does not support 1920x1200. We are in the process of removing 1920x1200 from our list of supported resolutions.
I noticed your KDS display also has DVI inputs. Please consider exchanging this adapter for our HDDVIMM3 adapter cable instead. It will work at 1920x1200.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this has caused.
Thank you.

Works Great
I bought this to use at our local Junior College to tie into their audio video system from my non VGA laptop. Took off and worked like as advertised and the audio was excellent as well.
