Quality cable works well.
I have been using this product for a few weeks now to send HDMI signal to VGA devices.
I have used this device with several different laptops, screens and projectors.
The cable comes in a bag with plastic protectors on the ends and no instructions. This is ok as it's very simple and strait forward.
The cable is good quality and thickness. It does not get tangled eas...

Works as intended
Have a laptop that I like to watch movies on but the screen is too small for the family. The only output I have on it is HDMI. I have a big monitor that takes a VGA input so I got this cable to use to watch movies from my laptop to my big computer monitor. Picture was clear and sharp and the connection was easy. The cable seems well built and made of good quality. The c...

HDMI to VGA Cable
A good quality cable with really good picture resolution. StarTech seems to have paid attention to detail with this cable by using high quality components. Like any cable it is plug and play. The only let down I had with using this cable was trying to connect a laptop via VGA port to a monitors HDMI port. This did not work. This is only an HDMI source to VGA conver...

hdmi to vga converter cable
Excited to use this device. The staples employee was really helpful. I had been several places to find this device and no one was able to help me. The employee at the store went and looked this up for me and was able to order. I am very pleased.

Works as it should - plug and play!
While in the midst of a PC refresh at work I was given the task of adding a second monitor to a work station. Having only one VGA port (already in use) and a free HDMI port I decided to check StarTech.com's connectivity guide and they indeed have a solution for VGA to HDMI. The cable works as it should by plugging it in and I also saved money by not having to buy anot...

Works as intended!
The cable itself is thick and seems like it was built to last. It's a perfect length for connecting an monitor on a desk to a computer on the floor perhaps. Hooking it up, it worked just as I expected. I did not have any problems playing the games I typically play on the computer, and the same holds true for streaming. It's a solid cable that does what it is supposed to...

great product
I received a free sample of the HDMI to VGA Converter Cable to try out and it worked great. The signal was clear, the speed was fast, and I the length of the cord was perfect. I would definitely recommend this product to other and buy another one in the future if needed!

6 ft HDMI to VGA Active Converter Cable
Sadly, we could not get it to function. The computer saw the TV device, but we could not send the signal.
Not sure it the issue was the PC, TV or the cable.
Note: the cable comes with little/no instructions and does not explain to USB connector well.
Normally, Startech items function as spec'd and come with excellent documentation.
