• Utilizing legacy VGA displays with modern devices that lack a VGA port.

Important Considerations:

• This adapter facilitates a digital-to-analog conversion, and while it supports resolutions up to 1080p, the final output quality can be influenced by the capabilities of the VGA display.
• The Micro USB power is essential for ensuring stable performance with devices that do not provide sufficient power through the HDMI port.
• It is crucial to remember that this is a one-way adapter (HDMI to VGA).

In summary, the UGREEN HDMI to VGA Adapter with Audio (Model 40248) is a practical and widely compatible adapter for converting HDMI signals to VGA with the added benefit of audio output, making it a versatile tool for various connectivity needs.
