Read properly helps

I'm sorry to have to say this, but all those who have given a bad review, not able to read or liked.
In the product description is explicit:
"The cable requires a laptop with HDMI output which can be switched to an analog signal. A connection between VGA and the normal, ie digital HDMI, is not possible."
Thus, I agree with my predecessor. The cable is good, function is given, if you know how.
It's just "only" a cable and not a Converter.

In this sense: better read help before bad buys.
