Best Answer

A VGA cable carries video signals from a computer display output, normally a computer monitor. VGA carries red, green and blue video signals with two timing signals. As well as computer outputs, VGA is sometimes used for other video equipment.

VGA carries a variety of resolutions up to and beyond HD video resolution. In 2010, VGA is losing popularity as increasing numbers of computer manufacturers add either DVI or HDMI ports to their products. Although VGA will remain in use for many years to come, it looks likely that it will not be the connection of choice within the next few years.

How do you use an HDMI to VGA cable from MacBook Pro to Asus monitor with only VGA port?

See if you have only VGA port on the ASUS Monitor then you need to plugin the VGA part of HDMI to VGA in Asus Monitor and then plug the other part that is HDMI in your Macbook pro.There might be a problem with you that both Asus monitor and the HDMI to VGA cable have same VGA Plugs,Like both of them are female VGA or both of them are Male VGA hence they cannot be connected together.For that problem you need to have one more cable of the opposite character to that of your HDMI to VGA and your monitor's VGA port to establish a connection between the Monitor and Macbook pro using the cable you already have. Like if you have female VGA on your monitor and on your existing cable then you need to buy male to male VGA and vice versa you have to buy female to female VGA for male ports on monitor and cable you already have. If you feel that there is some other problem than that then you can message me directly and i will guide you accordingly.
