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

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 addresses 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 runs from analog VGA to digital HDMI — the more technically demanding direction — the adapter requires active circuitry and external power via its Micro USB port. The metal housing distinguishes this version from the standard plastic model, offering improved heat dissipation, greater physical durability, and a more robust feel in permanent desk installations. At 0.15 metres, it sits neatly at the back of a desktop or beside a laptop, and the dedicated 3.5mm audio input means both video and sound reach the HDMI display through a single cable.
