Dell HDMI to VGA Adapter

Bottom line: The Dell HDMI to VGA Adapter ($17.50 on Amazon as of 2026-10-06): Genuine Dell part number 470-AALJ, not a no-name clone; main trade-off: one-way HDMI to VGA only, will not convert VGA to HDMI.

SpecPicks Verdict

SpecPicks scored Dell HDMI to VGA Adapter using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the retro graphics & video category. Dell's retro graphics & video lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here. Judge it on the specification table and the price rather than on sentiment: check the figures that decide your use case, then put it side-by-side with two or three close alternatives in the Compare tool before clicking through.

Common buyer scenarios for retro graphics & video of this kind: matching it to an existing build, replacing a failing part, or upgrading from a previous-generation equivalent. Check the spec table below against your current setup — particularly socket / form-factor / power-rating fields — and confirm compatibility on the retailer's listing before purchase. Prices and stock are set by the retailer and may have moved since this page was last updated.
