I know that VGA is an outdated connection by today's standards, but this little 17" Dell monitor from my college days has been with me for a while and I still want it as a secondary device on my desk 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 because it was a bit of a hassle to tweak the cables coming out come out of my graphics cards. A small problem, but a problem I found. Block "converter" sticking out and hanging from your motherboard/video card. It's braided but still flexible so cable management was actually less of a headache in my overall build. No problems so far, and it's been maybe a few months. I was just lucky, but I also didn't have the visual aberrations that my old converter had. I definitely recommend this product.
