Question

VGA to HDMI

Sep 24, 2015 12:17AM PDT

Hi everyone,

We have a projector installed on the ceiling and it was connected to 150 ft vga externsion cable [from projector 50 ft + 100 ft]. My laptop [Spectre x360] doesn't have vga so I bought this [J5create VGA to HMDI] product. When I used this product, My laptop doesn't recognize it [display settings] and keeps on blocking out.

Should I replace J5create product or maybe there's problem on the extension cable? Other laptop [w/vga included] works fine.

Please need help and product suggestion.

Thanks!

VGA cables send video and HDMI send sound and video.
