HDMI To VGA

Hi All,

Surprisingly non of the monitors within our office actually has a HDMI input...

I have purchased a VGA to HDMI lead, forgetting to buy a coupler to actually link the compute stick with the VGA to HDMI lead, today the coupler has now turned up - I have hooked everything up and set the monitor to VGA but it doesn't recognise that anything is connected, I have power to the stick, keyboard and mouse light up - just no display...

Can anyone please advise? currently buying a monitor with HDMI input is out of the question at the moment!

HDMI is digital and VGA is analog, so you'll need a dedicated converter, which is usually powered. I have the same issue at work, they only have Display Ports and no HDMI inputs. You can't use a pass through cable to turn HDMI output to VGA input.

You know what, HDMI-to-VGA and VGA-to-HDMI are something totally different. The former should have a DAC and the later should have an ADC. I wonder if there's any of them on the market has both and is bi-directional. Obviously for ICS you need the first one.

By the way does none of the monitors has a DVI port either? Coz HDMI to DVI is much easier and can be passive.

Apologies, a bit outdated with some of the terminology used!

Thanks for the response Rumbaar

Tom - my our monitors here in the office do indeed have DVI-D, are you able to offer guidance on what I need to buy to make it work?
