Vention VGA to HDMI Converter with Female Micro USB and Audio Port – 0.15M Black

The Vention VGA to HDMI Converter is a compact active adapter that takes a VGA video signal and an analog audio input and converts both into a single HDMI output. It’s designed for a specific and common compatibility problem: connecting an older desktop, laptop, or media device that outputs only VGA to a modern HDMI monitor, TV, or projector. Because this conversion goes from analog VGA to digital HDMI — the more technically demanding direction — the adapter requires active circuitry and an external power source via its Micro USB port. At 0.15 metres, it sits neatly at the back of a desktop or beside a laptop without cable clutter, and the dedicated 3.5mm audio input means both video and sound reach the HDMI display through a single cable, solving the audio gap that VGA-only connections leave open.
