Q: Can I connect a VGA secondary monitor to the HDMI port of My RetinaMBP, with the Kanex ATV adapter?
Hello, I want to connect a Samsung VGA monitor, as a secondary monitor, but I have no extra Thunderbolt port available.
Can I connect vga monitor to the HDMI port of my MBPRetina, using the KANEX ATV adapter, or the Belking HDMI to VGA adapter?
Will it work?
Thanks for your help!
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3)

Belkin HDMI to VGA doesn't work for me. Fliking screen on rMBP and no input signal on monitor. Connecting directly HDMI to big screen TV works fine. Connecting another source of HDMI signal, say, Dell notebook with the same Belkin HDMI to VGA adapter - works fine.
Seems like rMBP output to HDMI has not enough power to go through additional intermediate device. Shame.
