I know VGA is an outdated connection by today's standards, but this little 17" Dell monitor from my college days has been with me for a while and I still want to be on my sitting desk as a secondary display to keep my chats and Spotify window out of the way. Of course, I wasn't a fan of the VGA to HDMI converter I used as it was a bit of a hindrance to optimization for outgoing cables. my graphics card. Seems to be a minor issue, but an issue I've found anyway. My old monitor. No block "converter" sticking out and hanging on your motherboard/video card. It's braided but still flexible so cable management was actually less of a headache in my overall build. It's been a few months now, maybe I was just lucky, but I also didn't have any of the visual aberrations that my old converter had. I definitely recommend this product.
