Compatible with DOS gaming and text mode graphics!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 21 May 2017

Works very well with old 486 computers running DOS and windows 95/98SE.If your monitor or TV has no was no VGA input this is an excellent converter. Tested successfully with 60/70Hz resolutions including the 720x400 resolution that many VGA to HDMI adaptors fail on. Slight loss at the edges at 640x480 on Samsung televisions but is perfectly OK on the Samsung 930BF and DELL U2412M monitors with a HDMI to DVI adaptor. Other resolutions are perfectly good. One unsupported DOS game is Psycho pinball. Mode not supported on that game but the VGA port on the U2412M monitor does not support it either. And only the beginning BIOS splash screens when using the first Matrox Millennium graphics card does not show yet again the U2412M suffers with this. Commander Keen is distorted and red in appearance from a Matrox Millennium but show very well on a Nvidia GeforceFX 5700 slightly pink tint. Tested perfectly fine with a Dell D530 and tested from graphics cards as old as the ISA ATI mach32 right up to a Nvidia GTS450 and tested resolutions from a mega low 160x120 upto the highest 2048x1536 where it squeezes the picture in! Oh and the sound pass through to HDMI is spot on! Unsupported resolutions will not pass through the sound so you will have an idea if the adaptor or television is to blame. Truly amazing conversion! Well done Sewell!

See Well

If you know what you're doing all well and Good, but, if you're like me and don't really know what you're doing, you read reviews and take advice from well meaning community members, family and friends, and try and put two and two together with what you have.
I hate to say it amongst such glowing reviews, but this didn't work for me.

I gave it 4 Stars for cosmetics, display and packaging.
It looks Good, strong, sturdy and very well made.
It comes in a neat and tidy presentation box - almost like a jewel box with a chunky bracelet.

I had contemplated keeping it - just in case...or keeping it to give away as part of a 2-part present or a stocking filler.

I think I need Scart.

Thank You!

The hammer head. What can I say. I tried 2 VGA to HDMI converters before this and they didnt work and i had to return them. The hammer head however worked right out of the box. connected to my notepad and tv turned them on and instant notepad and internet on my HDMI TV. No hassle no fuss I love this product for the price and it comes with all the leads supplied.

This is a very good purchase and would recommend it, it worked without any issue on most of the PCs I have tried it with, but didn't work on an older model.

Much more robust than the last one of these I bought, from another manufacturer, (which, admittedly was cheaper) which split at the connection point after a couple of months!! This too, only needs one connection to power it, rather than 2, which the other one did.
Suits my purposes admirably.

Works perfectly

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 19 July 2013

Verified Purchase

The key difference between this product and cheaper ones is that it supports refresh rates other than 50/60Hz, which makes it incredibly versatile. It supports the native text resolution that Linux / DOS etc... first boots into (thanks to 640 x 400 @ 70Hz support), as well as lots of other resolutions.

Other than that it's nice and compact and just works.
