I just purchased an hdmi to vga adapter. It didn't cost very much. I didn't know there was a "passive" adapter. I just looked at the one I bought and it doesn't say if it's passive. If they might not work ..why do they make them?
@@trainmaster0217 late reply, but active ones are powered and are physically converting the signal from HDMI to VGA. SOME devices are able to push a VGA signal out of the HDMI port, which is where passive(non powered) adapters are handy. The raspberry pi comes to mind as being able to use a passive adapter
Got the classic "out of range" issue, but found 2 fixes on different laptops. 1. (5-year-old 64-bit ASUS): Pressed Windows key +P, then chose "extend" (as you might do if connecting an old TV). Problem magically gone! 2. (3-year-old 64-bit HP): Plugging in made the laptop display flicker like crazy and fail to connect to the external monitor. Uninstalled Intel graphics driver, downloaded Intel Support and Assistance and used that to get an updated driver. Restart, and converter now working fine!
Thank you very much. Really liked the Extended portion of your video. I bought an vga to HDMI a few years back. Did not know there was a difference. I have a HDMI connection on my pc, and vga, dvi and display port on my Dell monitor. Plugged in the vga to HDMI and nothing. Yes, I ordered two HDMI to VGA converters. They're on the way. I found out yesterday that Walmart sells the converters for $16 and change. Since I have two on the way, I'll wait.
IF YOU USE CHROMECAST, ANDROID BOX, ROKU BOX, CHROMEBOOK, FIRE STICK for use with HDMI TO VGA, also use VGA to Video to stretch 16:9 IMAGE horizontally to make it 4:3 aspect ratio. HDMI2AV can’t do menu.
Hi Onamission 83. Thanks for your message. Sounds like the monitor is looking for a VGA signal, but is not getting this signal. Some thoughts - Could there be any hardware issues with your computer? Are your drivers upto date? I assume the computer's not in hibernation, sleep or power saving mode? It'd be worth checking your graphics settings again? Have you tried restarting and reconnecting your devices? Do you have another port you could try on your computer? Thanks
I have an old Dell flat screen monitor (with very little use) that is 17" but not in the wide screen aspect ratio. (Actual width/height dimension of the screen is 13.5" X 11.75"....). Would this adapter still work with a non-wide screen? I would love to put it into use even if it there is a black unused area on the top and bottom on screen because of the aspect ratio disparity. Thanks for any input (no pun intended) that you can offer. Note: I also have a pair of high end NEC 19" CRT monitors. Not sure if that would work either...And, not sure I'd want those very large monitors chewing up a lot of space, but curious. Phil
So I received free monitor from work as they were giving a lot of them away since they were 10 years old and without warranty anymore. I grabbed one/ Brought it home to setup only to find out it was so old it didn't have HDMI. I bought a Display Port to HDMI converter, but it didn't work as I likely needed one which connects to the laptop rather than the monitor. So I decided to jump on amazon again, but this time, I am going the VGA route as I do have a VGA cord to hook up. Thanks to your video, things should work out better once I receive the converter
Hi! Question, how can i use a wireless mouse and keyboard in that set up? I also wanted to use the monitor as my main screen and if possible close the laptop.
Hi. Thanks for your comment. Unfortunately, HDMI to VGA is different from VGA to HDMI. Here's some more details about it - ventiontech.com/blogs/technology-overview/what-is-the-difference-between-hdmi-to-vga-and-vga-to-hdmi-can-they-be-used-interchangeably Hope that will help. Thanks.
Great video. I hope you can help me. I can connect my laptop to my TV using using an HDMI. It works, however when I go to graphic properties on my laptop the saturation control is not present The saturation slider only appears with VGA cable connection from laptop to VGA input on my TV. My new TV only has a HDMI input. Would the VGA converter bring back my saturation control? i.e . by plugging the VGA cable from my laptop into the converter and then plugging the HDMI end into my TV. Hope this makes sense TIA.

Hi I work from home and have a new screen which I use, however I have an old monitor that I want use as well which is VGA. If I used the converter and a male to male VGA cable could I plug this into a splitter as the lap top has very limited ports. So the splitter would plug into the computer then the HDMI cable for the new monitor would plug into one side of the splitter and the converter would plug into the other side. Would this work?
Hi I have a computer box with no HDMI and my smart TV has no VGA port so will this converter work for me... Coz i think i heard you say the converter is to convert from HDMI to VGA whereas i want to use my smart TV as the monitor from the box????
Hi LegendX Dêspair. I'm using a desktop PC currently which runs two monitors - 1920 x 1080 is my main monitor. I also have a much older Dell monitor (shown in video) so the resolution settings are much lower - they are set at 1600 x 900. So I believe that you should be able to scale to 720p (1280 x 720). Hope that helps. Thanks.
I own an adapter similar to the one from this video and is not compatible with my cable decoder, it shows a black screen and nothing else, however it does work with my ps3 and xbox 360, I already bought 2 adapters branded MINI they stopped working after a few weeks or a few months, is there a good quality option? by the way apparently my cable decoder is not fully compatible I have to disconnect and reconnect the decoder to get signal, otherwise I get a black screen with the message "out of range" from my monitor
