Q: Does this convert VGA to HDMI?
A: This takes a HDMI output and converts to VGA. I use it HDMI from my laptop to VGA on my monitor. This DOES NOT take a VGA out from say a computer and convert to HDMI on a monitor.
Q: Why is there a power port in the adapter if it is not needed?
A: HDMI to VGA is not a passive conversion (meaning it requires power) -- it is a digital to analog conversion, so there is a processor inside the connector that does the conversion, and that processor requires power. Some HDMI ports provide enough power to the processor to do the work, some don't. If yours doesn't, you'll need to provide that power via a USB port and connect the two.
A: Yes, this will allow you to use a VGA only monitor with an HDMI graphics card. I used it to add a second monitor (that only has a VGA and DVI input) to a laptop that has an HDMI out. Works great.
Q: How does this work? My moniter is only vga and my computer only gets hdmi so will this work
A: Yup, that is exactly what I needed it for and it works great. Got a new computer with only HDMI video output and my old monitor is vga.
Q: How long is the cable? Looks like I need to buy something else to connect desktop to monitor.
A: The adapter is about 9.5 inches long. You will need to connect it to your existing VGA cable or purchase a new VGA cable to finalize your connection to another device such as a printer or monitor..
Q: Input not supported on secondary monitor; how do I fix this?
A: In your video card's settings, there should be a place for you to play around with the resolution settings. Depending on your video card, you will have options that many people do or don't have because people have different video cards. Search through them and see what you find. As well, the option to extend displays is also dependent on your video card and it's features. You may not have the option, or you possibly just haven't found it. To access a video cards settings is pretty simple. Right click on your desktop, and in the menu that appears, click display settings. There you will find many options, including the one that says duplicate screen. In that box, click it to see if the dropdown box shows any other options. If it does not, you can't extend the screen and your video card doesn't support it.
Q: Will this work connecting my Fire Stick to my older model TV? Will the audio work also?
A: Only if that VGA Port on your 'older model TV' is capable of interpreting a Firestick signal/transmission. Also note (most?) VGA ports on the back of TV's are FEMALE. The VGA connection on this adapter is FEMALE...so make sure you get a MALE VGA adapter that plugs into your TV with female HDMI adapter , on the other end, that will receive your Firestick... Buy it and try it. BestBuy has a great policy on returning undamaged goods.
