StarTech.com HDMI2VGA HDMI to VGA Video Converter with Audio Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this product in order to run HDMI enabled Android tablets and mobile devices on a video projector for presentations. As a previous viewer noted (unfortunately, after I bought the thing) this box will have issues with HDCP (HollywooD Cripples their Products). Basically, this box will indeed downsample/convert a signal to VGA... but certain devices will not output a signal when they detect their signal being downsampled. Defective by design in order to "combat teh piratez" I guess, but at the expense of the legit consumer.
So, all I get is a black screen.
However, it works fine with my XBOX, possibly because the signal is lower resolution. And it will probably work with an HDMI laptop, if there is such a thing. Since the product description doesn't specify which devices it works on and which ones it doesn't, it is in fact quite useless for the average person's needs.
