UGREEN HDMI to VGA Adapter with 3.5 mm Audio (40233)

Overview

The UGREEN MM102 (40233) connects an HDMI laptop, console or set-top box to an older VGA monitor or projector at up to 1920 x 1080 at 60 Hz. Because VGA carries video only, it has a 3.5 mm stereo output for speakers or headphones, and a Micro-USB power input for low-power HDMI sources such as compact computers, TV boxes and Raspberry Pi systems.

Is it right for you?

• Suits newer HDMI computers and media devices driving a monitor or projector that only has VGA.
• One direction only: HDMI source to VGA display. It is not bidirectional.
• No 4K, and it is not intended for HDCP-protected playback such as some streaming services, discs or console content.

Key features

• Active conversion from HDMI to analogue VGA, up to 1920 x 1080 at 60 Hz; lower VGA modes follow the source and display.
• 3.5 mm analogue stereo line-out for the audio separated from the HDMI signal.
• Micro-USB input for 5 V operating power when the source’s HDMI port cannot power the converter reliably.
• Attached HDMI lead of about 15 to 16 cm.
• Driver-free hardware conversion; operating system display settings may still need adjusting.

What else you need

A VGA cable to the display and, for sound, speakers or headphones on the 3.5 mm socket. A Micro-USB power cable is included; power it from a USB port or your own 5 V USB supply when needed.

Installation

Plug the HDMI lead into the source, run a VGA cable to the display and select the VGA input. If the picture is unstable, connect the Micro-USB cable to a 5 V USB source.

Before you buy

• It does not convert VGA to HDMI.
• Audio leaves only through the 3.5 mm socket, never through VGA.
• It does not add an HDMI input to a computer or capture video.
• HDCP-protected content may not display.
