Manufacturer description

The NewBEP HDMI to VGA Cable connects a laptop, PC, DVD player, or Nintendo Switch with an HDMI output to a monitor, projector, or TV that only takes VGA. It is one 6ft (1.8m) cord with the conversion chip built in, so you don't need a separate converter box. The active chip turns the digital HDMI signal into analog VGA. It works as soon as you plug it in, with no drivers or settings. It supports HDMI input from 480i up to 1080p at 60Hz and outputs the same range to VGA. It works with HDMI 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 sources and HDCP 1.0 to 1.2. VGA carries video only, so NewBEP includes a 3.5mm audio…

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this NewBEP cable connect my laptop to an old VGA projector?

Yes, if your laptop has an HDMI port. The built-in chip converts HDMI to analog VGA at resolutions from 480i up to 1080p at 60Hz, and it works without drivers.

Does the HDMI to VGA cable carry sound?

VGA carries video only, so the cable comes with a 3.5mm audio cord for sound. Plan to run audio to separate speakers or to a display with an audio input.

Does it work with a MacBook, PlayStation, or Xbox?

No. The seller says it is not compatible with Apple devices such as MacBooks, PlayStation 2/3/4 consoles, or Xbox consoles. The seller lists Nintendo Switch, PCs, laptops, and DVD players as supported sources.

Can I use it to connect a VGA computer to an HDMI monitor?

No. It works in one direction only, from an HDMI source to a VGA display. It cannot convert a VGA output to HDMI.

It supports up to 1080p at 60Hz with HDMI 1.1/1.2/1.3 and HDCP 1.0-1.2 sources. The cable is 6ft (1.8m) long. Check the product listing for current warranty terms.
