Tendak Active 1080P HDMI to VGA Converter, Portable HDMI Connector

Works great; no unwanted scaling and therefore no lag! I am using a separate audio source however so I cannot testify for the quality of the headphone jack in this, neither for the durability as I only got it recently. Oddly there's no glue holding the housing together, you can just kinda claw it open. Normally this would definitely be a downside or a flaw, but I honestly don't mind this, in fact I like being able to open a product screwdriverless and without damaging it. I can't say too much about picture quality as I don't have much to compare it to, but it seems there was no loss in quality at all. There is no scaling after all, meaning the signal coming in to the monitor is pretty much lossless. It worked great on my CPD-G400 and sent through all the correct resolutions allowing for the full extent of my monitor's resolution and refresh rate support. That is by the way. More than 1080p! The adapter did my monitor's 1800x1440@70Hz perfectly fine. Even odd resolutions, like 1800x480@95Hz worked great.

This works perfect for my portable outdoor projector, and allows for a very clean setup. I have a powered speaker that sits right behind the projector, facing the viewers. This is one of the few adaptor that I can plug directly into my projector, run a very short cable to my speaker, and then have one HDMI cable from my device, or in the case of Chromecast, plug directly in. Most other HDMI to VGA adaptors have a male HDMI connector (which means you need an HDMI coupler for the Chromecast), and female VGA connector (so you need a VGA cable, which I don’t have just sitting around these days). Also, it means I would need to run a longer unbalanced (and potentially noisy), audio cable to my speaker. As soon as I received this adaptor, I immediately tested it with all my devices and projector, which is an Epson PowerLite 1705c (EMP-1705). This worked perfectly well with all of the following: Macbook Pro (DisplayPort to HDMI adaptor) AppleTV 3: Netflix (didn't test w/ iTunes videos) PS3: bluray, Netflix, Amazon Chromecast Samsung bluray player Caveats: - my projector cut off the image when set to 1080p, but fit perfect when set to 1080i, or 720p - if audio is not available or noisy, make sure audio from your device is not set correctly Bonus: - This adaptor does not need any sort of power supply—it just works!

This adapter is awesome! I bought this about a week ago to connect my Xbox 360 to a monitor I had lying around. It only had two input ports; VGA and DVI (I'm not sure which kind. D, A, or I, so i just went with this VGA converter) I had read about some sort of "mod" that can be done to 360s involving both HDMI and the analog output cables, but didn't want to dive into that. This was way simpler, and I'd say way more reliable. Using this adapter, I just got one of my audio splitters that have volume control and now have a speaker system and my headphones connected simultaneously. I'm especially fond of that fact that by using my pc monitor instead of a TV, I can sit more comfortably at my desk, and see way more in game detail because of the higher resolution and better coloring in the display. I'll post an update in a few weeks time to see how it stands the test of time.

The product I am reviewing is the Tendak Active 1080P Female HDMI to VGA Male Converter Adapter Dongle with 3.5mm Stereo Audio. UPDATE: After leaving my original review the manufacturer contacted me and said that they thought the product I received was simply defective and offered to send a replacement. Based on my research and the fact that the device was partially working I had incorrectly assumed that the issue was with the core design (self-powered HDMI to VGA converter typically pushes the limits of what HDMI ports can provide). As it turns out I was wrong and it was actually a defective device. The adapter works with a fairly low power laptop as well as on-board Intel video output (1080p video and stereo sound were tested). Nice clear picture, no noise in the video or audio. Note that it does not work with a Raspberry PI 2 B nor an Odroid-C0, not that I was expecting it to. Small dev boards like these often have very low power output on the HDMI port but I thought it might be useful to know for others with these types of devices. Low power devices will almost certainly require externally powered converters. Minus 1 star for quality control and replacement shipping from China (original was ordered locally, this is also why it took so long to re-review). Ironically the alternative product I ordered when this first one wasn't working is now itself no longer working; hopefully this one will continue to work. I left my original review below so that if others encounter similar issues they will know to seek a replacement rather than tossing the device. ORIGINAL REVIEW: Device permits HDMI attached computers to detect the monitor (including correct model and resolution) but fails to actually display an image. Test with multiple monitors, graphics cards, computers, and cables. All combinations had the same result. HDMI output of all GPUs functions as expected when connected to other HDMI displays. VGA inputs of displays function correctly when connected using VGA output from GPUs.

I guess there are some fine print that people could be missing from this product. the reason why some guys say theirs Tendak dont work could be because in order for it to convert hdmi to vga it draws power from the hdmi port and if the machine it is connected does not deliver that amount of power like a laptop or a wii u it wont show any display, also this won't escalate any low or high definition resolution so you gotta set the resolution of your device prior the installation of this, I had to use a video capture card for it to work and with my macbook it was all yellow so it wasn't worth it for that (I suggest you look for a hdmi splitter with power supply (that will resolve the issue) how ever the issue why I decide to return this was because of the headphone jack that 90% mono sound and not stereo which I didn't because i just got the money back(Im reviewing this as I didn't recieved the money back). talking about the product it should cost 10$ but it is 14$ so I don't know why when the ugreen one has the same price and a micro usb for power supply which works with my mac also it comes with a 3.5mm cable jack if you are interested.

I use this adapter with an IBM P260. This is the forth HDMI to VGA adapter that I have tried in my search of an adapter than can run my monitor to its full potential. It was the only adapter that was able to run 1600x1200 at 85Hz and 1920x1440 at 70Hz with no artifacts. I used the NVIDIA Control Panel to create these as custom resolutions as Windows Display settings didn't have them listed by default . It still can't run my monitor at max resolution and refresh rate of 1920x1440 at 80Hz, but this is still the best HDMI to VGA adapter I have used so far. The design of the adapter being HDMI female to VGA male is ingenious as it allows for the digital to analog to conversion to take place on the display end limiting the possibility of analog signal inference along the length of the cable run.

Either the audio is bad or I just got a defective one. First the good. I'm hooking up retro systems (SNES, PS 1, Gamecube, PS2 and Wii). I have modern component cables for each system and run them through the OSSC (a component and VGA scaler with HDMI output). This device is needed so that I can hook the HDMI to a VGA monitor. The results are great. The picture quality is very good. When it comes to the audio, I have issues. For stereo sound, I only get one channel. The other channel is very weak. I believe it is the right side audio (red input). Now this isn't to much of a problem as I can take the audio plugs and put it through headphones or speakers. However, it is keeping me from a 5 star review. As a side note: I realized I can hook up my PS TV. I tested it out and it looks good. But I have to set the resolution to 480p and adjust my monitor screen to get the right aspect ratio. The problem is I can't have an audio solution like I would with my intended setup.

I got a new monitor that works perfectly with HDMI, except I cannot see my BIOS when booting. The HDMI doesn't actually show anything until Windows is starting. This solution for those of us with monitors exhibiting this issue (on otherwise great monitors) is to connect to the VGA port of the monitor for the rare occasion when the BIOS menu is needed. I didn't want an HDMI-to-VGA adapter that had an extra corded box hanging off the monitor or back of the PC. And, I didn't want to have to keep the adapter in a drawer somewhere... just to go rummaging for it on the rare occasion when needed. This HDMI-to-VGA convertor is PERFECT for me. I connect it to the VGA port of the monitor and just leave it there.... ALWAYS. It's small enough to stay hidden behind the monitor. Whenever I need to use the BIOS menu, I simply unplug my HDMI cable from the monitor and into this convertor. It'll always be there when I need it, and it won't affect anything when it's not needed. PERFECT. I couldn't ask for anything better.

One of the best product 👌 really values wonderful quality. Highly recommend old vga monitor turn into hdmi support just 260 rs

Me encanto el producto es compacto, ligero y la calidad de imagen es excelente para un proyector WUXGA, la opción de poder sacar el audio desde el adaptador es genial ya que lo puedo conectar a un amplificador.

If you want to use a CRT monitor with a modern computer this is the cheapest and most effective adapter. Even if other cheap HDMI to VGA adapters also don't have any input lag they will almost always crush the black levels which loses so much details in darker scenes. The 3.5mm audio out is also nice since it allows me to just output audio to the speakers next to my CRT monitor automatically whenever I play a game on it. I'm not sure how well it can handle high resolution and refresh rate CRTs but it's flawless at 1024x768 @ 75hz.

very good product. I will recommend it to anybody

It was not working at all, the money was waste.
