    Handy conversion.

    This item enables me to run a Hdmi cable to my TV from the Vga output of my computer's video card. Works great.

    Works as expected.

    Needed to be able to hook up old PC's to a newer TV using HDMI. Worked perfectly the fist time. Does exactly what I was wanting it to do. I would buy again.

    Great VGA to HDMI Video Converter

    I bought this to connect an plasma TV to a older PC for a large monitor. This works really well and is very easy to connect. It does exactly what it is made for and highly recommend if you find yourself in this VGA to HDMI connection scenario.

    Great Product

    Great product at a great price. With all the configurations available with the variety of devices, needed an item that allowed integration with a older style projector. This one works!
