UGREEN MM105 HDMI to VGA Converter without Audio, sold under UGREEN model code 40253, turns a digital HDMI signal into analogue VGA video at up to 1920 x 1080 pixels at 60Hz, and is in stock now at Mascom International for KSh 1,300 at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. The UGREEN MM105 carries a standard HDMI male plug on one end and a 15-pin VGA female port on the other, linked by a short 16cm tinned copper lead wrapped in an ABS shell. Every UGREEN MM105 unit we stock is brand new and sealed in factory retail packaging.
Kenyan offices, lecture halls, church media rooms, and county government boardrooms still run tens of thousands of VGA projectors and older monitors that light up and work fine. Laptops built since roughly 2015 dropped the 15-pin VGA port completely, leaving HDMI or USB-C as the only video output. That mismatch stalls presentations at the worst possible moment. The UGREEN MM105 closes the gap for KSh 1,300 rather than the KSh 45,000 to KSh 90,000 a replacement projector costs. Training officers, university lecturers, sales reps pitching in Nakuru and Kisumu offices, and IT support staff keep one permanently in the laptop bag.
Unlike the unbranded adapters sold for a few hundred shillings around River Road, the MM105 runs a tinned copper core with galvanized brass braiding that holds a steady picture instead of flickering after ten minutes of use. Users consistently report the UGREEN MM105 locking onto old Epson and BenQ projectors on the first try, with no driver install and no external power brick. At Mascom International, we're witnessing steady weekly demand from schools and NGOs replacing failed no-name adapters. Walk into our Kimathi Street store to test the UGREEN MM105 against your own laptop and projector, or order it for pay-on-arrival delivery anywhere in Kenya.
Common Questions About the UGREEN MM105 HDMI to VGA Converter
Does the UGREEN MM105 carry sound to the projector or monitor?
No. The MM105 transmits picture only, which is why UGREEN labels it "without Audio." VGA is a video-only standard with no audio pins at all, so sound stays on your laptop. The practical fix costs almost nothing: run a 3.5mm audio cable from your laptop headphone jack to the projector's audio input or to a separate speaker. Most conference-room projectors sold in Kenya already have a 3.5mm input sitting beside the VGA socket. Mascom International stocks those audio cables separately.
Which laptops, desktops, and devices work with the UGREEN MM105?
Any device with a full-size HDMI output works: HP, Lenovo, Dell, ASUS, and Acer laptops, desktop towers with HDMI graphics outputs, Raspberry Pi boards, Chromebooks, DVD and media players, decoders, and mini PCs. On the display side it fits projectors, monitors, and screens with a 15-pin VGA input, covering most Epson, BenQ, ViewSonic, Dell, and HP units sold in Kenya before 2018. Laptops carrying only USB-C ports need a USB-C to HDMI adapter first, which Mascom International also stocks.
What picture quality does the UGREEN MM105 actually produce?
The MM105 outputs up to 1920 x 1080 pixels at 60Hz, matching what nearly every VGA projector and monitor in Kenya can display anyway. Text on spreadsheets and slide decks stays readable from the back row of a lecture hall. Because VGA is analogue, very long VGA cables beyond 10 metres can soften the image slightly, which is a cable limitation rather than an adapter fault. Set your laptop to 1920 x 1080 or 1280 x 720 for the sharpest result.
Does the UGREEN MM105 also convert VGA back to HDMI?
No. The MM105 is unidirectional and moves signal one way only: HDMI in, VGA out. Plugging it into a VGA laptop port to reach an HDMI television produces a blank screen, because the conversion chip inside runs in a single direction. Going the other way needs a powered VGA to HDMI converter, which is a separate product. Check your source device first. The HDMI male end always plugs into the laptop, decoder, or player.
Does the UGREEN MM105 need a power adapter or driver software?
Neither. The MM105 draws the small amount of current it needs from the HDMI port's own 5V line, so there is no wall plug, no USB power tail, and nothing to charge. No drivers install on Windows 10, Windows 11, macOS, ChromeOS, or Linux. The operating system detects the VGA display on its own within a few seconds. Plug in, press the Windows key plus P to choose duplicate or extend, and the projector shows your screen.
Will the UGREEN MM105 display Netflix, Showmax, or DStv content?
Content protected by HDCP will not pass through, because the MM105 does not carry HDCP support. Streaming apps, pay-TV decoders, and disc players often refuse to send video down a non-HDCP path and show a black screen or an error message. Presentations, documents, browsers, local video files, and camera feeds display normally. If protected streaming on an old projector is the goal, an HDCP-compliant converter is the correct product. Ask our Kimathi Street team.
Why choose the UGREEN MM105 over a cheap unbranded adapter?
Three differences show up within a month of daily use. The MM105 runs tinned copper conductors with galvanized brass braiding, which resists the electromagnetic noise that makes budget adapters flicker mid-meeting. Its ABS housing tolerates the heat build-up that warps thin plastic shells in stuffy boardrooms. And it carries a warranty you can claim at a physical Nairobi CBD counter, not a market stall. UGREEN sells this part globally under one code, 40253, so specifications stay consistent.
Is KSh 1,300 sensible compared with replacing an old VGA projector?
A working VGA projector costs KSh 45,000 to KSh 90,000 to replace, so the MM105 protects that asset for under two percent of the price. A school running six classroom projectors spends KSh 7,800 on adapters instead of several hundred thousand shillings on new hardware. The adapter also moves freely between machines, so one unit can serve a whole department. For most Kenyan offices the first saved presentation already covers the cost.
Technical Specifications
Signal Conversion and Video Output
- Converts digital HDMI video into analogue VGA output, letting recent laptops drive display hardware built before 2018
- Top supported resolution reaches 1920 x 1080 pixels at 60Hz, matching the ceiling of nearly every VGA projector sold
- Lower resolutions including 1280 x 720, 1440 x 900, and 1024 x 768 are negotiated automatically by the source device
- Conversion chip sits inside the moulded HDMI connector housing, so no separate box dangles from your laptop
- Unidirectional design moves signal from HDMI to VGA only; reverse conversion requires a different powered converter
- No HDCP support, so copy-protected streams from pay-TV decoders and disc players will not appear on screen
- Refresh rate holds steady at 60Hz, avoiding the visible flicker common on poorly built budget adapters
Connector Layout and Cable Construction
- Standard HDMI Type A male plug on the input end fits laptop, desktop, decoder, and media player ports
- 15-pin VGA female port on the output end accepts any standard male-to-male VGA cable already in the room
- Cable length measures 16cm, short enough to stay tidy behind a lectern without tugging at either port
- Tinned copper conductors carry signal with lower resistance than the thin aluminium cores used in unbranded adapters
- Galvanized brass braiding shields the core against interference from fluorescent lighting and nearby mains power cables
- Threaded screw posts on the VGA connector accept the thumbscrews of a standard VGA cable for a locked fit
Device Compatibility Across Offices and Classrooms
- Works with HP, Lenovo, Dell, ASUS, Acer, and Apple laptops carrying a full-size HDMI output port
- Supports desktop towers with HDMI graphics outputs, including the budget office builds common across Kenyan county offices
- Compatible with Raspberry Pi boards, Chromebooks, Apple TV units, media players, and set-top decoders using HDMI
- Drives Epson, BenQ, ViewSonic, Optoma, Dell, and HP projectors fitted with a 15-pin VGA input socket
- Connects older VGA computer monitors kept as second screens on accounting, reception, and data-entry desks
- USB-C only laptops need a USB-C to HDMI adapter placed in front, stocked separately at Mascom International
- Cameras and camcorders with HDMI output feed VGA monitors for live viewing during weddings, church services, and events
Build Quality and Daily Durability
- ABS housing resists the heat build-up common inside warm boardrooms and unventilated school computer rooms
- Moulded strain relief at both connector ends reduces cable breakage from repeated coiling inside a laptop bag
- Matte black finish hides dust and fingerprints picked up across Kenya's drier upcountry classrooms and site offices
- Light enough to hang from an HDMI port without straining the socket during a two-hour presentation
- Flexible lead bends without kinking, unlike rigid one-piece dongles that crack where plastic meets the plug
- Passive build with no battery and no moving parts means nothing to charge, service, or replace over time
- Compact enough to drop into a laptop sleeve pocket, a shirt pocket, or a lanyard pouch between meetings
Setup, Power, and Audio Handling
- Plug-and-play operation needs no driver install on Windows 10, Windows 11, macOS, ChromeOS, or Linux
- Draws its own current from the HDMI port's 5V line, so no wall adapter or USB tail is required
- Windows key plus P switches between duplicate, extend, and second-screen-only modes once the projector is detected
- Carries picture only; VGA has no audio pins, so sound stays on the source device's own speakers
- A 3.5mm audio cable from the laptop headphone jack to the projector or speaker restores sound cheaply
- Detection usually takes three to five seconds; older projectors may need their input source button pressed manually
- Mascom International stocks HDMI to VGA converters with a built-in 3.5mm audio output for rooms that need sound
Package Contents
- UGREEN MM105 HDMI to VGA Converter in black, model code 40253
