Hello,
I would like to know how to connect my PS4 Pro with an HDMI output to my PC monitor with a VGA output.
I was told I need to buy an HDMI to VGA converter, so I got this one https://www.amazon.fr/AUKEY-Adaptateur-Convertisseur-Compatible-Ultrabook/dp/B01ARLD1HU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1533707361&sr=8-1&keywords=Adaptateur+HDMI+vers+VGA+1080P+Convertisseur+HDMI+M%C3%A2le+%C3%A0+VGA+Femelle+Compatible+avec+PC%2C+TV+Box%2C+HDTV%2C+Ultrabook%2C+Xbox+-+Noir but when I connect it to the VGA cable leading to my monitor and to the HDMI port of the PS4, my monitor doesn't receive the signal.
Did I make a mistake, did I buy the wrong product?
Please help me.

Hello,
You need a cable like this: https://www.amazon.fr/Pixnor-HD-15-Male-15-broches-adaptateur-Professional/dp/B01N4PS84Z/ref=sr_1_17?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1533711247&sr=1-17&keywords=hdmi+vers+vga
You need a Male VGA and not Female like you unfortunately bought.-

It will work even less...
HDMI = digital signal
VGA = analog signal
Therefore, it is imperative to convert, and the Aukey box works for that. What might be an issue is all the security measures of the PS4 that are not compatible with VGA... like HDCP, etc. Not to mention the resolution that must be higher on the PS4 Pro via HDMI than what the screen supports in VGA... -
