Dtech HDMI to VGA Converter | HDM-CNV-HV

The HDMI to VGA Converter is a handy device that allows you to connect HDMI sources (like laptops, gaming consoles, or media players) to VGA monitors or projectors. Unlike the HDMI-to-AV converter, this one supports higher resolutions (up to 1080p) since VGA is an analog signal but still capable of HD quality.

Key Features:

Input: HDMI (supports 480p, 576p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p @ 50Hz/60Hz).

Output: VGA (supports 800×600 up to 1920×1080).

No Audio in VGA – VGA only carries video, so you may need a separate 3.5mm audio cable if your source has audio.

Plug-and-play – Usually no drivers needed (passive converter for most models).

Power: Some models require external USB power (check if yours does).

Common Uses:

Connecting modern laptops/PCs to older VGA monitors or projectors.

Using game consoles (PS4, Xbox, Switch) on VGA displays.

Connecting streaming devices (Fire Stick, Roku) to VGA-equipped screens.

Limitations:

No audio over VGA – Requires a separate 3.5mm audio cable from the HDMI source.

No upscaling – Output resolution depends on the source signal.

Some models need external power (check if yours requires USB power).

Setup Guide:

Connect HDMI source (e.g., laptop, console) to the converter.

Connect VGA cable to the monitor/projector.

If needed, connect 3.5mm audio from the source to external speakers.

Power the converter (if required).

Switch the monitor to VGA input – The display should now work.
