Review on Gold Plated BENFEI DisplayPort Display - Enhanced Compatibility by Tom Roberts

I bought this cable as a last resort to get two external monitors for my Acer Helios 300. Since the Helios 300 is a gaming laptop, most people probably won't want to install two external monitors. but I use the machine for both gaming and work (which is why I was dying to add a dual external monitor). I was able to get an external monitor through an HDMI to HDMI connection. As for a second monitor, I originally tried connecting my laptop via miniDP-to-HDMI but found that didn't work. However, this miniDP to VGA worked great! I am very happy that I have the opportunity to use two monitors! Cons: Obviously it's not HDMI picture quality, and having two monitor cables is a bit ugly. comes out of the laptop. On my laptop, an external monitor connected via VGA only displays the laptop's screen. I don't get 3 unique screens. That being said, I only wanted/expected two screens (in extended display mode) so it's less of a minus than just FYI.
