SAMTECH HDMI to VGA Adapter Cable Converter - Connect your HDMI device up to a VGA port for PC Laptop Raspberry Pi, PS3, Xbox

My original review, giving this item 3 stars, is below. Since posting it I have discovered that the crashing / restarting issues I was having were caused by the power supply to the Pi not proving sufficient power. Once it had been changed, everything was fine.To add to the review, this adapter gives a good clean output with no ghosting or blurred imaging. Whether connected to an older television or computer monitor, the output is clear and sharp, almost indistinguishable from HDMI-only image quality.Definitely worth the money.-------Only used this for a short while, but it works perfectly for connecting a Raspberry Pi to an older VGA monitor.HOWEVER, as soon as I try to use the Pi with this adapter AND a wifi dongle, the Pi crashes. There is no crash when either this or the wifi dongle are used alone.

This product was purchased in September 2016 ready for when I needed it, as the exact same item I had purchased previously had failed in that the audio transmission stopped working. When I needed the replacement in May 2017 it didn't even work as well as the one which had broken as neither audio nor vidio was transmitted. Rubbish.

Well packaged, works ok on Raspberry Pi2 with dell 17" monitor.Contrast not as good as with HDMI through a HDMI screen, but does the job.

Bought for my Raspberry Pi kit, works as per the box.

Blew up the Pi 2 do NOT buy it!

Awesome!!!

It does what it says it does

Good clean signal between HDMI output and older VGA monitor.
