    Bought for my wife for when she's working from home. This will allow her to connect to screen that has a VGA port to her HDMI port on her laptop. Beats having to buy another screen.

      Hi,
      Since so many people started to work from home they have been digging old computer monitors out of their closets, but they needed adapters to connect them to their newer computers. This is a great adapter for just that purpose. Thank you for sharing your experience.
      Have a good day,

    I bought this adapter for about $35.00s and I broke the first day. I have a PS4 and am trying it to project this onto a monitor. The signal goes in and out. Do not buy unless have a million dollars and are willing to buy another brand of adapter.

      Easily converting HDMI to VGA signal is what the JDA213 does best. Simply insert the HDMI end to your computer, add a VGA cable to the monitor or projector and watch the contents appear.

    There is a audio port if you want to use the HDMI to transfer sound. I don't need it, but it is a great idea and solves sound issues transferring from HDMI to VGA

      Hi Aaron,
      Thank you for the compliment on the adapter. We thought it was a good idea as well. VGA connections do not transmit audio. This cable gets around that by having a USB connection to transmit the audio portion of the signal. We appreciate your review.
      Cheers,

    I had to replace my existing adapter since it was bugging out on me. I have not had a problem with this one since I bought it. I guess it is very satisfying to see things work the way they are expected to work :)

    Not the right product.

    What I wanted was a VGA to HDMI connector cable, male to male. The box with the curbside pickup label describes the item as “VGA TO HDMI ADAPTER”, Model JDA213. But it doesn’t have a male connector on both ends. I need to return the item but I don’t know if I have to go inside the store or not. I am in a risk group for the coronavirus, so prefer not to go inside. I don’t have an opinion as to whether I would recommend this product, but your form forces me to say yes or no.

    Works as expected. However, it does require power for the audio to work. It does not come with the cable to power it. It uses a micro USB cable to power it.

      For presentations, or having another screen to work off; the JDA213 will convert HDMI signal to VGA in seconds eliminating the need of complex driver installation.

    We returned this product because it did not include the power cable that we would have needed for our application. We were better off ordering online an getting something that provided everything we needed.

      Needing to convert HDMI to VGA signal for older monitors is possible with the JDA213. Simply insert to the computer's HDMI port, add a VGA cable to the external display and done.
