Review on πŸ”Œ 5 Pack DisplayPort to DVI Single Link Adapter - Benfei DisplayPort to DVI Converter (Male to Female) - Black - Compatible with Lenovo, Dell, HP, and other Brands by Garrett Craven

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Working -- Video signal unchanged -- Good

I connected this adapter's displayport to the displayport out on my new Lenovo Gen 3 workstation dock connected to my new Thinkpad P53 laptop running Windows 10. Then I connected this adapter's DVD-D jack to my old trusty DVD-D-DVD-D cable that goes with my trusty old 24-inch Dell monitor. Before I bought this adapter, my DVD-D to DVD-D cable was connected to a Thinkpad W520 laptop, which worked flawlessly for years. I needed a simple solution to keep going without re-wiring, re-calibrating, re-terminating the signals and buying a new cable. I was skeptical. But it works and it's great. I simply plugged the adapter into the video cable chain with the monitor and computer off, turned on the computer and got the same HD video signal as my old Thinkpad system. No settings had to be made on the monitor or computer. Everything just worked. Saved me from buying a new cable and running it to my monitor at my desk. Then you need to agree on a new signal. Very impressed with this adapter for my specific needs. If you need something like this, stop reading and buy this adapter.

Pros
  • LATCHING DESIGN: Latched DisplayPort connector provides a secure connection, the latches improve connection stability in use. When disconnected, press the realse button and pull it out slightly.
Cons
  • Skimpy Instructions
