Customer Reviews & Ratings for Lightning to VGA Adapter

I use it to connect iPad or iPhone to a monitor for Youtube and Netflix , for both devices:

1. For Youtube, the fullscreen video can only be displayed in the centre of the monitor with black border.
2. For Netflix, I can only see subtitles with a black screen, no picture at all...

If I could give it 0 stars I would! I bought this $50 cable to specifically watch Netflix on a bigger screen, but it didn’t work! It’s literally making me so mad right now that I can’t take it back or switch it out. You guys should really outline the fact that you can’t watch Netflix with this thing. Only reason I specifically bought THIS cable is because I was at Walmart and they weren’t stocked with HDMI cables. I wouldn’t recommend buying this at all and I really wish I had read these reviews before I bought it ��

Have used this dongle since I got my iPad Air over 3 years ago to share my screen to a digital projector. After updating to iOS 11.1 it no longer functions... the screen shows the blue bar indicating the screen is shared for maybe 30 seconds to a minute, then it goes away and there is no longer any output.

I get the same result with a Lightning Digital AV (HDMI) adapter, so I have to hope this is a bug in iOS 11 that will be fixed soon... if not, I will have to seriously consider switching to an Android tablet, as I need the ability to present from a tablet for work.

I bought this very expensive cable only to find out, that it's a complete waste of money.
Wanted to watch Netflix and other streaming services from my iPad to my bigger computer screen. But no can do.
It makes me really angry, that Apple is not clear about the limitations of their product. Just sell and pretend there's no issue.
The cable is not "broken", so can't ask for my money back. Not such a smart move, since angry clients tend to move their loyalty to other suppliers. Even I, a former apple fan, is seeing benefits of changing my equipment.

I bought this so I could watch Netflix from my iPad to my TV, which is a plain flatscreen. The vga cable used to work with this same TV and a laptop. Now since the laptop has been replaced by the iPad, I got this adapter. Apparently Netflix blocks it. It does mirror the iPad screen to the TV and will play videos that I made on the camera, but the sound on maximum on both devices simultaneously is weak. VERY DISAPPOINTED !!!!!!!!!

On my old 30pin iPad I was able to connect to many VGA input projectors. I just bought this lightning adapter for my new iPad and I could not run my Key Note presentation at all. Nothing worked at all, I will have to do a bunch of trouble shooting before my next presentation next week.

This is an annoying product we use regularly at work, however we need to buy new ones every 6-8 months. Surely they can make a product that has some durability in it or less wires that can be stretched. If we are paying £50 then it should last for 3-4 years at least!

I use these to connect my ipad to a tv screen, and three times they have broken within a few months. So, no more hooking my ipad up to the tv. For the insanely high price I would really expect a product that is better made. Your computers are great, but I really hate you for this, Apple
