I have never had an HDMI to VGA adapter but I have seen people use them. Some people had good ones while others had ones that didn't work very well.

To solve the connectivity problem I have a monitor with the following ports: VGA, HDMI, and DVI. No adapter needed.

Yeah, I also lucked out in the connectors area...

Connectors D-Sub (VGA), DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort, Component, USB
