Customers are mixed about the quality of the adapter. Some mention that the overall product quality is excellent, the cable is gold plated, and it's well built.

I am giving this two stars unless I figure this out. I bought this to hook up a ROKU box to my projector. I did not like the picture quality of Composite Video out. I have my HDMI cable running from the ROKU to the Cable Matters converter box, then from the box to my VGA projector. When I go to ROKU, all the menu screens work find, including up to the "Play now" on any episode of any Netflix, Plex, CBS, etc channel. It even displays "loading now". However, as soon as the episode is loaded, the screen blanks. I have a Viewtv At-163 ATSC Digital TV Converter Box and Media Player w/ Recording PVR Function / HDMI Out / Coaxial Out / Composite Out / USB Input that is connected to the projector via component video through VGA adapter and works flawlessly in 480P, 720p, and 1080p so I know my projector can handle the different resolutions. I have tried the converter with and without the micro-usb cable, so I do not know what else to try. Hopefully the manufacturer will have a suggestion, and I wont have wasted a SECOND purchase on trying to get HDMI out of my ROKU to projector.
The only issue is Audio. HDMI sends audio with the video signal, but VGA does not. This created a minor issue, as the Chromebook thought audio was playing over HDMI - obviously it wasn't. This adaptor does not have an audio out, but that was not an issue. We just set the Chromebook audio out to be a set of Bluetooth speakers and we were in business - big projected picture and great sound. Awesome way to watch a movie.
BTW: While I mention Chromebook above, I did the same setup from a Windows Laptop and it had the same issue with audio, and the same solution. So the behavior is the same on notebooks other than the Chromebook I talk about above. The only difference, the Chromebook had enough power via HDMI to power the adaptor - the Windows laptop did not. On Windows, I plugged the included micro-USB cable in to give it more power. The adaptor came with the USB cable for this issue, nice touch.
Quality: good. Movie quality looked very good. When displaying static content, like excel spreadsheets or PowerPoint presentations the low resolution of the VGA projector was more visible but the quality was still fine - crisp, sharp and vivid colors. All good.
Note: The Chromebox clearly labels that the front two ports as USB Power ports (noting that they provide both power and data connections.) Be certain to power this HDMI-to-VGA adapter with the PROVIDED power cable (USB-A male to micro-USB-B male power cable.) Using that power cable connected with a simple USB data port might not provide enough power - idk really - since first i do not know the required min power to drive this this HDMI-to-VGA adapter. I am assuming that any negative posts about this item are related to ppl not using the PROVIDED power cable or possibly connecting that cable to a data-only USB port - but really i am guessing here. (Note: The USB power cable plugs into a USB-A power port and also a USB micro-B port on the block-shaped part of this HDMI-to-VGA adapter.)
