d8b Forum

I recently revamp my studio and using a new Samsung HDMI monitor but have had no luck with some of the VGA-HDMI cable converters.

I saw this option in a post but was curious if anyone else was using HDMI TV with converters.?

Thanks and Happy New Year everyone

I’ve been using this one for the past couple of months with no problems:

VGA to HDMI, GANA 1080P Full HD Mini VGA to HDMI Audio Video Converter Adapter Box with USB Cable and 3.5mm Audio Port Cable Support HDTV for PC Laptop Display Computer Mac Projector (Black) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N53IESF/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_XCJmCbR7EC2K3

Thanks...I will give this one a try and let you know
cheers

No luck Dave. I tried it on new LG and Insignia TVs. This the 3rd VGA-HDMI converter I have tried.
Video pixel resolution on the d8b port is 1024x768 so these converters *should* support 640×48 up to 800 x 600 for SVGA.?

Sorry about that. I assume you had the little usb power port plugged in too as it won’t work without it. It’s powering g a 42” Samsung led TV over here.

OK....had no idea I had to plug USB for power ...but it worked!

hank you so much for the device, I now have my d8b on 50inch screen

I thought this was an extra USB port along the the analog port?

That is correct. It's the power source for the unit and as far as I know won't work without it. That's what I remember. I had it plugged into a nearby usb2 hub for power. My board just took a dump so can't turn on right now but prior to last week, it was working perfectly.

thank you so much for the device, I now have my d8b on 50inch screen

To say “thank you” to this is a complete understatement!!! I have tried NO LESS than 10 different VGA to HDMI converters varying in price from $15 all the way up to around $60 with no luck. The left side of my GUI was cutoff to where you could just make out Ch.1 and barely see the “file” menu. THIS $10 item worked without any fuss!!! Literally plugged it in and boom... perfect! Literally spent a few years with my screen cut off and just accepted it. Thank you SO MUCH... seriously!!!

yep i was in the same boat until Dave helped me out !
