Simple adapter that gets the job done

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using this HDMI to VGA adapter at home to connect an HDMI device to an older monitor, and it works well. It's easy to set up, and the picture comes through clearly. It's useful for older monitors or projectors that still use VGA when your laptop, computer, or other device only has HDMI. It's a simple and useful adapter if you have older equipment.

Great quality, easy to use and perfectly compatible with my laptop and monitor

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great packaging and exactly what I needed. I was able to connect my laptop to my monitor within seconds and everything worked perfectly right away. The adapter was very easy to use. Just plug it in and it worked without any complicated setup or troubleshooting. It's compatible with any laptop that has HDMI. The 6-foot cable gave me plenty of length to set everything up comfortably. The build quality feels solid and durable,. The connection has been reliable with no issues so far. I'm very happy with the performance and how convenient this adapter is. Great value for the price and I will definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an easy to use and compatible HDMI to VGA adapter.

Excellent high quality product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This 6' converter cable works perfectly when you have an older monitor with a VGA outlet that you need to connect to a newer computer with only HDMI inputs. It's sturdy and feels high quality! I played YouTube videos and even a couple games of Overwatch, I experienced no lagging or issues of any kind!
