Frequently Asked Questions

Does this HDMI to VGA adapter work with a PS4 or MacBook Pro?

No. DigitConvert says it does not work with the Sony PS4, MacBook Pro with Retina display, Mac mini, Apple TV, Roku or Blu-ray players, because their low-power HDMI ports cannot power the converter.

Can I use it to connect an old VGA computer to an HDMI TV?

No. It only converts from an HDMI source to a VGA display. It does not support VGA to HDMI.

What is the maximum resolution?

Up to 1920x1080 at 60Hz (1080p). It also supports 720p, 1280x1024 and 1600x1200 for older monitors and projectors.

Do I need a separate cable?

Yes. The adapter plugs into your device's HDMI port and has a female VGA port, so you need a VGA cable to reach the monitor or projector.

What warranty does DigitConvert offer?

DigitConvert covers the adapter with a 12-month unconditional warranty. Check the product listing for how to make a claim.
