VGA to HDMI Showdown!

In this video, I do a head-to-head comparison of a generic Mini VGA2HDMI adapter with another generic VGA to HDMI adapter using the game Dungeon Keeper played on a Windows 98 computer. I also try out the VGA output on my test bench Ryzen 3 2200G machine to compare A/V sync using these two adapters. The HDMI capture device used in this demonstration is a BYEASY HDMI Capture with Passthrough. I published a video about this device HERE:

0:57 What is VGA?
1:43 Unboxing
3:11 Differences
3:51 Capture Setup
5:01 Footage Comparison

6:50 A/V Sync Test
8:27 Conclusion

Special Thanks to YouTube channel dayjoborchestra for granting permission to use their Audio Video Sync Test in this video.

I have a broken laptop with VGA out and I think this just might be the solution to make it usable again. It is powerful enough to do any normal tasks like web browsing and word documenting so yay.

thanks for the upload
most people pretend not to care about the lag & then wonder why they arent enjoying their old games lol

[guerrillaradio]

As long as it can take 240p from my retro gaming rig (which has a VGA output), I'll be thrilled, as long as the lag/latency isn't bad. I only saw game intro footage in this video. How was the gameplay with respect to lag?

I'm 4 months late, but I ordered the black one from Amazon. Thanks for the video.

[BrianFowlie]

Awesome review, and thankyou for this video.
Did you have a video on how to connect the black unit?

[tiomannysworld]

thanks for the comparison! I tried out the MINI 1080p up scaler it has served me well. I tried another one first but it hardly made a difference to the image.

[polaris]

would be helpful to see other resolutions/aspect ratios tested too. I assume 4:3 resolutions get stretched to 16:9

[mategamer]

i have that exact same 2:47 but i cant get signal not even with vga or hdmi or auto pc turns on but no display i changed 2 of that

[nieprzecietny]

one question, Are you able to see BIOS post messages on those converters ? i had some adapter and seems that have issues to convert BIOS post messages about ram, cpu, hdd info and also i am not able to see anything on screen till windows start loading. can you do similar test focused on pc boot process. ? it's something that might be helpfull for people who have to diagnose old pc's from old CNC machines.

Got an old packard bell Pentium. Love it

[stephanblack]

Just what I needed to know, thank you .

When using CONVERTER VGA to HDMI instead of Connecting USB CABLE to power TV, Notebook, but the correct thing would be to connect USB power cable to the TURBO CHARGER 2.1 Amper cell charger after I connected the TURBO CHARGER cell charger, it works perfect HDMI monitor image .

[AirknightTails]

0:22 Yeah it's pricey. But I rather go with something as good quality as I can get

[djc]

I need some help, i have a Dell projector with only vga and video, i purchased a hdmi to vga with hdmi female end and vga male end to projector, i hooked uo a ps4, a dvd player and its not finding the input on the projector, any other wire i need ?

[erwin-deg]

The most important question is unanswered. Does it work in DOS 700x400 70 hz?

[aspinia]

I used the other mini adapter, the one that is hdmi to vga to watch tv on my monitor, my cable decoder does not like the adapter, it automatically detects it in 480p and the video flickers, things work fine when I set the video in 720p but every once in a while I get a black screen with the message "image out of range" the solution I came across was to unplug the cable decoder and plug it again, sometimes it detects the video in 720p, other times in 480p so I have to set it to 720p in the cable configuration manually.

[walperstyle]

I need a straight answer. I have a VGA security camera setup I'd like to output to HDMI. What converter actually works VGA to HDMI? (2023 that is)

[Evilslayer]

HI which model is working under DOS 6.22?

[AmbiRele]

I'm still confused😢😭 so I have two onn smart tvs 32 inch (HDMI) that I would like to use as monitors. I have VGA and display port on my PC. What should I use?
