EXCLUSIVE TIP 1: This VGA to HDMI adapter has our custom latest 2011 firmware to allow it to interface to more PC's. You can only get this from us.

EXCLUSIVE TIP 2: This VGA to HDMI adapter has a VGA pass through allowing you to pass the VGA signal to another monitor or back to the source device. You can only get this from us.

This device is not a scaler or scan converter. This means that the resolution of the video signal at the HDMI output is the same as the input signal. If you require your converter to scale the signal see our VGA to HDMI Converter / Scaler.

Whatever resolution goes in this VGA to HDMI Adapter, goes out as it does not upconvert or down convert the signal. See the below chart for acceptable input resolutions. Any aspect ratio control is done from your source device or your HDTV. A 4X3 input comes out as a 4X3 output, same with a 16X9. See the below resolutions that this device supports.

If you have a PC or laptop and want sound you will need a Stereo Audio to 3.5mm Y Converter Cable to plug into your headphone sound jack.

This VGA to HDMI Adapter is not Plug-and-Play

(*) NOTE 1: Whatever resolution goes in this converter, goes out as it does not upconvert or down convert the signal. Any aspect ratio control is done from your source device or your HDTV. A 4X3 input comes out as a 4X3 output, same with a 16X9. See the above resolutions that this device supports.

(*) NOTE 2: This VGA to HDMI Adapter is not a scaler or scan converter. This means that the resolution of the video signal at the HDMI output is the same as the input signal. If you require your converter to scale the signal see our VGA to HDMI Converter / Scaler.

(*) NOTE 3: Most HDMI enabled displays do not support the full complement of PC resolutions and are only designed to handle HDTV input formats of 480i or 480p @ 60 Hz, 576i or 576p @ 50 Hz, 720p @ 60 Hz, or 1080i @ 60 Hz. This means that if you set your PC at a resolution of 1024x768 (XGA), your display may not display the HDMI image. Try 1024 X 768 first.

In this case you have to set your PC's resolution to either 640x480@60 (VGA interpreted as 480p), 800x600@50 (SVGA interpreted as 576p), or 1280x720@60 (WXGA interpreted as 720p).

(*) NOTE 4: Your video card has to be able to output a resolution your TV supports in order to get a Pixel for Pixel image. So if the native resolution of your TV is 1366x768, you are going to get the best picture if you can get your video card to output 1366x768. That's what makes it 1:1...or actually 1366:1366. Some video cards can't output HD resolutions so check your manual.

(*) NOTE 5: Please try the following resolutions: 1280x720 or 1366x768 ( 1280x720 is preferred and will most likely work ). If you don`t have the resolutions listed above, please download the latest driver for your video card and it should have either 1280x720 or 720p ( under HDTV resolutions ).

(*) NOTE 6: Many consumer HDTV's suffer from overscan or cutting off of screen information that may make navigation difficult.

(*) NOTE 7: The VGA to HDMI Adapter offers the truest conversion available between a PC and an HDTV. The clarity of the HDTV display is directly related to how close the VGA out is in dimensions and pixels to the HDTV format.

(*) NOTE 8: Try it on a desktop computer to see if it can work. Try 1024 X 768 first.

(*) NOTE 9: For your laptop, please try the below operation. Right click on the laptop monitor; Choose the "Properties"; Click "Settings"; Tick "Expand the windows desktop to the monitor"; Click "Application" to save the setting.

Then you can try clicking the "Advanced Setting" under the "Expand the windows desktop to the monitor" and set it (On this set, please check the items in details and set the one suitable for you).

(*) NOTE 10: 640x480 is EXACTLY the same as 480p, so a 480p HDTV display will be that of a true monitor in clarity. 1024x768 is closest to 720p and will generally look best on that HDTV resolution. Performance will vary slightly depending upon the HDTV.

The above limitations can be overcome providing that your PC's video card can support special resolutions, and you are able to properly configure the output. One resolution that will require no special modification is 640x480 (480p) @ 60Hz which should work on virtually all HD-Ready TV.

(*) NOTE 11: This device may not natively support wide screen on your HDTV so you MUST ENFORCE CUSTOM RESOLUTIONS at the native resolution of your HDTV to get 16x9 resolutions.

(*) NOTE 12: Many laptops don???????????w you to display BOTH its monitor and another output. Please check you manual and the Video Cards Control Panel to see if yours does that.

(*) NOTE 13: This VGA to HDMI adapter supports 1080p from the VGA output of most consumer electronic devices and up to 1280x1024, ~1080i, from PC video cards. It may or may not support a 1920X1080i (1080p) signal from a video card depending upon the video card and HDTV. See the below chart.

This VGA to HDMI Adapter can be used with HDTV's that have an HDMI input and:

  1. High definition TiVo's with component video outputs
  2. High definition Dish Network and DirecTV receivers with component video outputs
  3. High definition cable receivers with component video outputs
  4. WII, Sony PS3, HD DVD and Blu-ray DVD players with component video outputs
  5. Any DVD player with component video outputs
  6. PC's and laptops with VGA outputs
  7. and other similar devices.
It is used to connect the VGA video signal from a PC or the Y-Pb-Pr video signal of a DVD player or similar device to the HDMI input of a Plasma or LCD screen. The unit takes advantage of HDMI cables ability to also embed the digital audio in the same cable with video.
