I have an old monitor that I don’t want to discard right away. The issue is it only has a DVI-D and VGA ports. I can use a HDMI to DVI-D cable and use the former but the latter seems wasted. I have been looking for a HDMI to VGA cable, not a converter, that can solve my woes. So far, I have come across only this cable that rivals the cost of the monitor. Something like this would totally solve my issues but I don’t see it in India. Any suggestions are welcome.
something like this? or get some cheap adapter and another convertor to connect to the destination port.
I bought and used this https://www.amazon.in/Sounce-Converter-Adapter-Computer-Projector/dp/B09CQ4W7NN/ref=sr_1_5?crid=CACZREBM3WZQ&keywords=hdmi+to+vga+converter+for+monitor&qid=1650186301&sprefix=hdmi%2Bto%2Bvga%2Caps%2C317&sr=8-5 sucessfully. It works but display appears later in boot process. i.e. no access to BIOS or POST screen. It needs power via an USB port.
why not a converter? im using a hdmi to vga converter and it works perfectly fine been using it for the past 2 years
