SLDXIAN HDMI to VGA Adapter, HDMI Female to VGA Male
SLDXIAN HDMI to VGA Adapter, HDMI Female to VGA Male Converter 1080P for TV Stick, HDTV, Computer, Laptop, Monitor, Projector, Xbox (15CM)
Widely Compatibility
The HDMI to VGA Adapter Cable is compatible with all desktop, notebook, TV stick, tablet PC, digital set-top box, digital Camera, video Camera that have HDMI port. VGA source is compatible with all TV, monitor, project, LCD, TV and other displays that equipped with VGA port.
Important Note:
This adpater is used to connect the HDMI source to the VGA Display, it could not work in the opposite direction.
This is ideal for connecting a newer computer to an old-style monitor or projector. It is strictly HDMI converted to VGA, not the other way around.
Picture quality is good, and the device appears to be well made. The braided cable is quite flexible despite being short. No power supply is needed as HDMI sockets can provide a 5V output.
I’ve upgraded PC and the new one had no VGA output and I have an LG monitor which runs at 1080 so I was a little frustrated until this little beauty popped up. It worked perfectly first time and has remained 100% reliable with daily use for the last 2 weeks. The adaptor is really nicely built too. The fact I can totally forget it’s even there is all you need to know! Excellent value.
This adaptor is well made, with metal clad VGA plug/HDMI socket and braided sheathing, that is both flexible and hard wearing. I tested it using an older TFT monitor and didn’t have any issues, working straight out of the box. The picture quality was good, and in fact, with anything up to 1080p, VGA is a good option. Even better, a monitor that has both analogue and digital inputs can be shared by two devices, often automatically selecting the active input, or having a built-in, manual input switch.
Does what it’s supposed to do. As technology has advanced over the years, some devices and electronics do not have an HDMI socket, This device helped me convert an HDMI input to a VGA output, granted the quality isn’t going to be clear and crisp, but this does the job well for what it is.
Comes in a pinch close packet this is a quality little item made from metal with a stiff thick rubber cable connecting both ends.
Now i’ve got an ancient 1050p monitor that i dont want to bin simply because its old but most of these “adaptors” are pre-configured for a 720p/1080p signal only meaning they simply dont fit the screen or in the case of this monitor chop off the right side in a black bar.
I’ve tried all kinds over the years with no real success but this not only worked, it gave me a nice long list of resolutions that the monitor supported!
Now i gotta get cleaning as i never thought i’d get this working again.
Really nice looking braided HDMI to VGA cable. Looks and feels well made and it worked without issue right out of the packed.
I used it to hook up my Spectrum Next to my old Sony 4:3 1280×1024 VGA monitor and as you can see in the photo it works perfectly and the picture quality on the VGA monitor is terrific. Of course the Next also has a VGA port which would be the more sensible option but I used the HDMI in this case just to test the cable out and it worked like a charm.
Just be aware that some devices may not be capable of outputting a resolution that’s compatible with your particular monitor. I tried it with my Evercade and got a display out of range error on the monitor.
I have an old touch screen panel but it only supports VGA so i havnt used it in a while.
Recently i thought that id make some use of it, which is when i saw this cable avaliable so i figured id put some life back into this old panel.
This allowed me to convert my hdmi signal runing at 1920x1080p @ 60 hertz to VGA and display it perfectly on this old screen.
I do have an old laptop that outputs to VGA so i figured i would dig that out of storage and test if i could give it a hdmi monitor: This does not work from VGA to HDMI.
But i am happy with this, it has a nice metal body and tightly braided cable so it seems like its going to last a while and is quite durable.
If you need to convert from HDMI to VGA only and want a premium looking and feeling cable then you should buy this.
I use a monitor which only has a VGA input, but a recent change of docking station doesn’t have a VGA out. This adapter worked as expected, allowing the HDMI output of the docking station to connect to my older monitor. There’s no noticeable difference using this method and I still have the same resolution as before.
The adapter is fitted with a strong beaded cable and bonded to the connectors well. I expect I’ll get many years of use from this, most probably my trusty old monitor will fail before this adapter.
This adapter has enabled me to connect my HDMI cable into my monitor’s VGA port, allowing me to use the monitor once again. This demonstrates that this product works perfectly well and does exactly what it is supposed to do. Most of my monitors have both HDMI and VGA input ports. When one of my monitors stopped working, I ordered this adapter to connect my computer into the monitor’s VGA port instead of its HDMI port, using the existing cable. Miraculously, the monitor started working again, as before, showing that it was the monitors HDMI port that had failed, rather than anything else and there was an easy fix. Great! Job done! Could not be happier!
The 24cm long converter cable also looks good and seems very well made, with braded cable and metal ends. Altogether a quality item that is also very useful.
As technology advances, it can often be the case that connectivity to older pieces of tech becomes an issue. Time was, every monitor and computer had a VGA port, but that’s becoming less common. This adaptor makes it possible to connect more modern devices with HDMI to older displays that only have VGA.
The adaptor cable is reasonably well made, with a braided cord and well machined connectors. I tested it by connecting a tablet computer to an older monitor and it worked without issue. Obviously, it’s not going to carry an audio signal from HDMI, but you wouldn’t really expect it to.
My only minor criticism about this adaptor is the price. It’s currently 11.99, which is perhaps a little expensive for what it is. Still, it’s a useful adaptor to have around, and it works as advertised.
I’ve still got some legacy screens, motherboards and graphics cards hanging around the place. This adapter will let me triage my cables again as I won’t need old, long and bulky VGA cables to cover myself for a while.
Bear in mind this is a female HDMI port so you plug a normal HDMI cable into it, and then the VGA end goes to your computer, so you can use an HDMI monitor, or to your monitor, so you can use an HDMI graphics card/motherboard. The easiest mistake with this would be to imagine it was a male HDMI to male VGA.
Good quality, braided cable, with metal bodied adapters. You can’t go wrong really.
Laptops and Chromebooks have replaced the VGA video output with HDMI, Mini HDMI or USB C ports. And new monitors have also followed suit by offering HDMI inputs.
I still have a couple of perfectly functional flat screen monitors that have VGA input only, so this 15 cm adapter by SLDXIAN was just the right solution to keep using them.
The adapter arrived packaged in a sealed bag with the male VGA connector fitted with a plastic cap to protect against contamination. The adapter cable’s braiding and connector mouldings were of good quality with the connector plated in gold for better conductivity and corrosion resistance.
With my HDMI cable I can now connect my Windows laptop, which only has HDMI video output, directly to my large flat screen using this adapter without a signal converter/adapter in between.
For my Chromebook which has an USB C output, I have a compact single USB C to HDMI adapter (instead of a bulky hub), that I can use together with this adapter cable to extend to the large monitor.
Together with the discount voucher, this adapter is worth the investment.
Now I don’t have to replace my long HDMI cable, nor chuck out my older VGA display, just because of its connection being an older legacy type. Instead I can continue to use it –at least until ready for the computer to need a hi-res monitor to go along with it sometime in the future(!)– likely several years away, and in the meatime saving me a load of cash.
Simply plugging the long HDMI cable alrady owned into this VGA adaper and then into my older monitor, I can then connect it to the HDMI port of my computer, and simply have a fully working display to continue using.
Many people already own displays at home, often older ones that often use legacy ports like VGA, but need to connect to newer hosts with HDMI. Unfortunately, these newer computers typically won’t have VGA ports, and conversely the monitor doesn’t have other output ports for video apart from VGA.
Along with this, you have the cable already, so this adapter makes using both cable and monitor with said newer host devices that have HDMI input a breeze.
Review of SLDXIAN HDMI to VGA Adapter, HDMI Female to VGA Male Converter 1080P.
Another braided cable, this to enable dated VGA equipment, however it is well built providing conversion via inbuilt chip from HDMI to an older VGA connector.
The cable total length 240mm, an HDMI socket at one end, this an attractive aluminium casing with a strain relief fitting to cable, the internal connector using a gold plated outer with HDMI connector board in the middle.
The cable opposite end again a nice blue aluminium casing with gold plating around the rear of the VGA connector surrounding the 15 gold plated pins.
When fitted the VGA connector uses the usual screw in fittings to secure, the HDMI cable not secured but tight fitting into the socket, in use the cable capable of 1920 resolution although only 1080@60Hz in HD, this more than adequate for my older monitors that still work after many years of use.
This a good converter cable from newer HDMI to older VGA, only short as you need an HDMI cable anyway so can extend to required length, this cable bringing life back into my old but usable monitors.
I’m mainly using this to connect a new Lenovo laptop to an old 15 inch LCD VGA monitor with 1280×1024 native resolution. I’ve had problems getting that resolution to display with some other adapters but it works fine with this one after a bit of tweaking. As usual, when you first connect from the laptop’s HDMI port it tries to duplicate the FHD laptop display with the common 1920×1080 HD resolution which this older monitor doesn’t support, however in Windows 11 I was able to extend (rather than duplicate) the display and then select 1280×1024, but the display was too stretched. I eventually realised I also needed to change the display frequency from 60Hz to 75Hz and it then displayed correctly. However, one further issue remained, the laptop’s sound is automatically muted when you connect the display via this adapter since Windows changes the audio output to “HD Audio Driver for Display Audio”, even though the adapter has no audio support! (VGA doesn’t support audio and there is no separate audio jack on the adapter). Once you switch back to the default speakers all is fine, but it is a bit annoying that Windows does this every time I connect the adapter (I didn’t remove a star from the rating since this is a fault of Windows not the adapter). Also works fine with my Raspberry Pi 4 Model B and 3B but not with a older (original) Zero model, which could be due to the cheap mini-HDMI adapter I have for that model, I didn’t have another to test with.
Overall, a decent HDMI Adapter to connect a video signal (not audio) to older VGA monitors.
This is a really nice adapter, I needed a way to get VGA in my travel bag for my laptop and having a full size HDMI to VGA Adapter cable is a bit of a faff when I already have an HDMI cable in there.
This is a great solution as I can just pack an HDMI (or get easy access to one anywhere), and then this small adapter that I can add on the end to get a VGA connection when needed.
I also really like the picture quality from this one, its sharp (for VGA) and doesnt have that washed out, smudged look you get with some cheap VGAS adapter cables.
Really pleased with this cable, and it has no issues at 1920×1080 resolution, though I haven’t needed it anything higher so I cant comment above that resolution.
This comes with 15cm of grey braided cable that is quite pleasing to the eye and thin too at just over 5mm diameter. I needed to connect a Windows 10 PC which has HDMI out to my monitor with just VGA input. So this adaptor came in very handy as I already had a HDMI to HDMI cable and just slotted this adaptor on the end, plugged the VGA end to the monitor and everything just worked. Pleased with the screwdriver slots in the thumbscrews too, always easier to tighten with a screwdriver in tight places behind a monitor. At review time there was 35% discount available dropping the price to 7.79.
Pleased with mine.
I received this item as part of the Amazon Vine program, in return for a frank and honest review of the product.
TL/DR – Works exactly as intended, Makes it easy to have multiple monitors on your pc, Configuration is very simple
The problem with everything nowadays is that it’s regarded as disposable, disposable cutlery, disposable cups, even disposable underwear (!). As a species, humans are destroying all the worlds natural resources – but don’t worry, I’m not going to give you a lecture.
The reason for this weird preamble is that we can avoid disposing of things that work well by using some ingenuity, and in this case, ingenuity comes in the form of a 15cm HDMI to VGA cable. The idea is simple, if your computer has a HDMI port but your monitor has only a VGA port, then using this cable you can connect your computer to your existing monitor and benefit from using that monitor that you love.
Also, if you have a computer setup that requires multiple monitors and your computer has a VGA port as well as a HDMI, then you can use this cable to easily add a second monitor to your computer by having one screen connected to your computers VGA port and the other (using this cable) connected to the HDMI port.
Configuration when using Windows is simple. Connect the monitor to the computer by using a HDMI cable with one end plugged into the computer and the other into the female HDMI port on this cable, then plug the VGA end into the monitors VGA port. Then, depending on your needs, press the “Windows” key on your keyboard along with the letter “P” and make your configuration selection from the menu that appears. You can choose to duplicate your screen output, or extend your screen (making use of the second screen as an additional monitor) or choose to just use the monitor connected via this cable. This is the option that I chose as I use an external monitor on my laptop as the screen is bigger.
The cable works really well with no lagging in the displayed picture.
Although nowadays VGA sockets are disappearing from monitors, an adaptor is a great way of updating an old monitor making it compatible with more modern tech. The general rule with adaptors is that you can downgrade new to older but not the other way round and thats the case with this adapter, so the adaptor only works one way linking a HDMI output to VGA input. I still have an old VGA monitor but it works well, so I’m not ready to get rid of it yet. This adapter connects to my old monitor and hangs down providing a HDMI socket which I can then attach my desktop PC to.
I tested the adaptor and now have my old monitor set up as a second screen, it works well.
