UGREEN HDMI to VGA Adapter with Audio and Micro-USB Power (40248)

Overview

The UGREEN 40248 connects a laptop, set-top box or console with HDMI to an older VGA monitor or projector at up to 1080p at 60 Hz. It is an active converter with a 3.5 mm audio output for speakers or headphones, since VGA carries no sound, and a Micro-USB power input for sources whose HDMI port cannot power it on its own.

Is it right for you?

• Suits an HDMI computer or media device driving a monitor or projector that only has VGA.
• One direction only: HDMI source to VGA display. It cannot convert VGA to HDMI.
• No 4K, HDR or HDMI 2.1 formats. VGA is limited to Full HD.
• Protected (HDCP) content may fail, because analogue conversion and the display may not meet the content provider’s protection rules.

Key features

• Active conversion from digital HDMI to analogue VGA, up to 1920 x 1080 at 60 Hz.
• 3.5 mm stereo output for compatible HDMI audio.
• Micro-USB power input for sources that cannot supply stable power over HDMI.
• No separate driver normally required.
• Black ABS housing.

What else you need

A VGA male-to-male cable to the display and, for sound, a 3.5 mm cable, headphones or speakers; neither is included. A Micro-USB power cable is included, but a USB power adapter is not, so power it from a USB port or your own USB supply when needed.

Installation

Plug the HDMI end into the source, run a VGA cable to the display and select the VGA input. If the picture is unstable, connect the Micro-USB power cable to a USB port or supply.

Before you buy

• Signal direction is fixed: HDMI source to VGA display. This is the most important compatibility check.
• VGA carries no audio, HDR, CEC or other HDMI data features.
• It will not upscale a low-resolution source into genuine Full HD detail.
• HDCP-protected content may not display.
