Review on Gold Plated BENFEI DisplayPort Display - Enhanced Compatibility by Jeff Westra

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. monitors, but I use the computer for both gaming and work (which is why I was keen to get a dual external monitor). I was able to get an external monitor using 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'm very happy to have the opportunity to use two monitors! Cons: It's obviously not HDMI picture quality and it's a bit ugly with two monitor cables coming out of a 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.
