StarTech.com VGA to HDMI Converter Cable with USB Audio Support & Power - Analog to Digital Video Adapter Cable to Connect a VGA PC to HDMI Display - 1080p Male to Male Monitor Cable (VGA2HDMM2M) Review

Are you tired of having two separate cables for your VGA and HDMI displays? StarTech has introduced a solution with their VGA to HDMI Converter Cable with USB Audio Support & Power. This cable claims to connect your VGA PC to any HDMI monitor, HDTV, display, or projector, with resolutions up to 1920x1080/1080p @ 60Hz, while also providing USB power and audio support.

Upon receiving the StarTech VGA to HDMI Converter Cable, I immediately noticed the 6ft length, which allows for a convenient amount of distance between the two devices. The product also boasts driverless setup on Windows, Linux, Chrome OS, and MacOS, making it easy to install and begin using quickly.

The integration of USB audio support and power in the adapter cable seems like a convenient feature, but in reality, it creates more issues than it solves. Upon testing, the audio support worked as advertised; however, the USB power was not strong enough to power my VGA device, leading to a reduction in signal quality and signal loss. This may be an issue specific to my setup, but it is something to keep in mind.

The product has been tested to ensure compatibility with a full range of monitors, projectors, and HD televisions, with resolutions up to 1080p 60Hz. I tested the cable on a range of devices and was impressed with the picture clarity and signal integrity, with no loss of video quality. The male to male HD video converter cable maintained the signal integrity, providing high-quality visual output.

The setup process was fairly straightforward; simply input a VGA signal and USB connection from your computer, and the adapter cable outputs both sound and video over one HDMI signal. This eliminates the need for multiple cables and makes it an ideal solution for a home or office workstation setup.

One drawback of the product is the price point. At around $40, it is more expensive than other similar products on the market. Additionally, the customer review rating of 3.2 out of 5 stars indicates that there may be some issues with the product that need addressing.

In terms of SEO, it is important to ensure that the product name (StarTech.com VGA to HDMI Converter Cable with USB Audio Support & Power - Analog to Digital Video Adapter Cable to Connect a VGA PC to HDMI Display - 1080p Male to Male Monitor Cable (VGA2HDMM2M)) and the brand name (StarTech) are included throughout the review to improve search engine visibility.

In conclusion, the StarTech VGA to HDMI Converter Cable with USB Audio Support & Power can be a useful tool in streamlining your workstation setup. While the USB power may not work for all setups, the picture clarity and signal integrity make it a reliable option for connecting your VGA PC to HDMI displays. However, the higher price point and average customer rating are something to consider before making a purchase.
