No VGA screw holes

In the end I returned it and bought another VGA to USB adapter. There were no holes to screw the VGA cable into the adapter so the fit was not secure.

Pros
  • Dope 🔥
Cons
  • Quality

Used this at a professional conference connected to my MacBook.

Used in a professional conference connected to my MacBook Pro and VGA projector. Has worked without any problems. The missing screw connections on the VGA side didn't affect the connection in any way.

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • Interval

Works great with Samsung Galaxy Note 8

I used this with a Galaxy Note 8 to demonstrate the app on a projector in a meeting. This adapter worked great. Galaxy owners may note that you need to change the HDMI setting on the phone from Samsung DEX to HDMI mirror mode if you want to use it like I did.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Not bad

Not supported on USB 3.0 without alternate mode support.

The product does not work as advertised. Connected to a USB 3.0 C port and even though Device Manager says "Billboard Interface" I get a Windows notification that "the display connection may be restricted" indicating that the adapter is attempting an alternate mode Use which is not supported on this Lenovo Flex 5-1470. Notebook."

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • There are problems

Works perfectly! â USB to VGA adapter

Received the adapter today. It works out of the box on my Dell XPS13. It easily connects the XPS13 to my external monitor. Now I will travel with him for my business presentations. Due to its size, it doesn't have two screw holes on the sides of the VGA connector. However, the connection is strong enough for normal business use. I like it better than Dell's larger, chunkier 1x4 adapter.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Poor instructions

Will not work in computer accessories and peripherals

I need to connect an old Dell screen to my new MacBook 12" and was hoping this adapter would help. But it just doesn't work. I don't know , why I love the laptop, but I'm frustrated with all the adapters and various parts needed to connect it to my peripherals and that half of them don't work.

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product

Works exactly as advertised

I am using this Type-C to VGA adapter to connect a 2017 21" iMac to a Mitsubishi HDTV. This is useful as the 4K color palette of the iMac differs from that of the TV, which makes a big difference in video production.This way I can view the videos I make on both my TV screen and my computer screen.The only drawback is the lack of screw holes to attach the VGA adapter. I overcame this shortcoming with the help of rubber bands (see photo) I'm not sure if rubber bands are needed as the connection…

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Poorly thought out

Pros
  • Reversible design - Type-C connector easily connects to any Type-C enabled device; supports USB 3.1
Cons
  • Slightly dented

Just got my new 27"iMac 2017 and found I need this adapter to use a second monitor. I used a Lightning adapter to do the same thing with my MacBook Air, but that adapter didn't work with the new iMac USB C outputs. This works great, although I've seen most reviews mentioning it on the MacBook Pro series was used. I love having a second monitor and I still find different ways to use it for the many different applications I use like Photoshop, Lightroom, iMovie, etc.

Pros
  • USB 3.1 Type-C to VGA adapter to connect a PC, laptop or tablet to a VGA monitor or display
Cons
  • So far so good

Not compatible with Apple adapters; buy another brand!

This adapter will only work with my monitor when connected directly to my 2017 MacBook Pro. This doesn't work when I use the USB-C port on the Apple USB-C Multiport Digital AV Adapter (with HDMI instead of VGA) as an interconnect. I got this to work using a Lention VGA USB-C adapter, so I can only assume this adapter is just lower quality. To use it at all, I have to plug the power adapter into the less efficient USB-C port on the Apple adapter. I suggest buying Lention (which I know works) or…

Pros
  • Transfers video from a computer or tablet to a monitor display (Note: VGA does not transfer audio)
Cons
  • A newer model could have been selected
