HDMI to RCA - best adapter

[da na]

Bought a little CRT for my desk and now need something to go between my PC with DP, DVI, and HDMI to analog video. 

Any recommendations for a box that takes any of these 3 and converts it to analog video? Budget is $25 but I'd be willing to stretch.

The display is 6 inch, black and white, and 480i resolution so I won't be able to notice much differences in quality but I would like something that lasts a while.

Why not just buy an HDMI to RCA cable instead? I use to have to use this on an old TV from a cable box to get a signal.

Ah, thought it had to be a powered thing.

Thanks!

I don't know if this will work for your use case, was just a suggestion. My use case was HDMI out of the cable box into a TV that had RCA inputs as the HDMI inputs died. I vaguely remember using HDMI to RCA cables as well with my Xbox 360's 15 years ago as well.

That cable definitely doesn't work, at least not to connect a standard HDMI output to standard composite video. HDMI doesn't have analog signals to split out, so that would only work with some sort of digital composite input or analog HDMI output. I'm at least mostly sure those don't exist.

 

You need something like this active converter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0732NF969

I have basically the same one, but in white, and it works great for now. I bought mine for 24.78 BGN which is about 14.5 USD, so it's cheap.
