BENFEI HDMI to VGA 6 Feet Cable Uni-Directional HDMI Computer to VGA Monitor Cable Male to Male Compatible

I've been helping some family to replace an old computer and set up new tech in their home. I needed this type cable to connect a monitor with a VGA port to a new computer, through the HDMI connection on a USB-C Hub. After doing a lot of comparison shopping and looking at reviews, price, and build materials, I chose this gold-plated HDMI to VGA cable from Benfei. It shipped out to my family's address and arrived very quickly! In fact, given travel concerns during the pandemic, it was able to arrive to them a full two months before I got there! When first setting up the system, everything seemed great. The cable was decently packaged, felt very solidly constructed, and connected easily. More importantly, it worked. But after just about a week of very light / intermittent use, it started to fail. In less than two weeks, it was a complete dud. No reliable picture transfer whatsoever ... just static garble or a dead screen. We tested each piece of hardware and each connection, and finally determined that it was this brand new cable. Frustrating for the family and disappointing for me! But here's the thing ... when I reached out to Benefi to ask about their replacement / return / refund policy, they responded within just a matter of HOURS. And despite their being a huge time difference between us, they even apologized that it took them THAT long to reply. So very responsive! What's more, they actually took the time to read my note explaining the problem and the troubleshooting steps that I had taken. I didn't ask for anything other than to understand their policy. The response? Immediate apology for the situation and reassurance that my investment in them was protected. Full replacement and an extended 2-year warranty! They went out of their way to promise that if there's anything else I need, they'd work with me to fix it. Period. Utterly amazing. I confirmed the shipping info (again, to my family) and they wrote back that it was out the door with 2-day shipping. This ALL happened -- from my first letter to the package leaving their hands -- in less than 24 hours!! And the package that was supposed to be shipped 2-day mail arrived ... THE VERY NEXT DAY! All of this is to say that they made an amazingly good impression. I got genuine, human help and felt very good about my choice to buy from them. I don't remember the last time I found a company that stands behind its product so strongly. Also, for what it's worth (and it should be worth a lot), the replacement cable has been performing flawlessly for several weeks now, with a solid amount of use! I highly recommend. Read more

Well- made cable no issues. Read more

Easy to install and connect. Works perfectly to be able to use my existing HP 23 inch monitor and connect it to my new 15 HP laptop. Read more

I bought this so that I could use an old monitor (HP 2009m, which, as the name implies, is circa 2009!) with my laptop. The monitor has a 15 pin VGA connection, laptop is HDMI. I plugges in the cable and, after adjusting the display settings, everything works and looks fine. The only reason I am not giving this cable 5 stars is because the screws in the VGA connector aren't long enough to fully secure it, so I'm sure there will be times when it falls off and I'll have to plug it back in. But since the monitor serves as a convenience -- easier to read than my laptop screen, and used for home stuff, not work -- who cares? Having to re-plug a $10.00 cable once in a while is better than spending a hundred or two on a new monitor. It might stop working eventually. Who cares? At that point I can buy a new monitor or spend another $10. If you want perfection, get out of here and go buy new stuff. If you'd rather do other things with your money and time, buy this already.

VERY DISAPPOINTING One would expect with both the expense and the "gold" plating on the contact points, that they are getting a high quality... if not a PREMIUM product. But this is NOT true. In fact, it is just the OPPOSITE and the reason why I am writing a review within 15 mins of installing this cable. In short, SAVE yourself the hassle of buying this cable unless you like BLURRY IMAGES and/or delaying visual response from your secondary monitor.... because there is a delay of a half second to about 2 seconds (from the time you start to type something, until you actually see it on your monitor. In the meantime, it is really BLURRY). Because I am so frustrated with this cable, I am going to buy a different one, with the hopes of getting something that can.... and SHOULD... work as well as the cable that FRAGGED OUT. Good luck if you decide to buy this cable after having read this review, because the input I just provided will save you the frustration I experienced. You can't substitute acceptable quality with poor quality. Read more
