If you don't have a dedicated video port at all, that's fine.

I can see what this product does and it does. It is very good! However, this should really be a last resort if you don't have a physical video port or USB-C port, for example. This works well, but I don't see this as a long-term solution for me. It feels like my computer has to work harder to process the video for this method. I ended up just getting a USB-C hub with an HDMI port and overall I feel better. BUT, it's still a great product.

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Minor issues

Doesn't work for Mac

The driver failed to install and keeps throwing an error message saying the file is missing. My computer is a Mac and doesn't have a floppy drive, so I had to use a second computer to download the drivers from a disc to a USB stick, but that didn't work either and I got the same errors as before. When I searched the internet for a driver to download, I found that they are only available for Windows operating systems. After an hour of searching for a Mac OS compatible download, I gave up. Didn't

Pros
  • Finally bought it
Cons
  • Sad hardware

The monitor does not recognize the VGA cable.

My father-in-law is trying to connect a second monitor to his laptop (HP model #17-by0061st) via a USB 3.0 port. The monitor is working and has been used successfully since trying to use the adapter. It runs on Windows 10. I bought it a BENFEI USB 3.0 to VGA Male Female Adapter. After installing the driver and restarting his computer, I tried connecting his monitor. But the monitor does not recognize the signal from the VGA connector. I uninstalled the driver and then downloaded it again from…

Pros
  • Something about it
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Don't listen to bad reviews

Don't listen to the bad reviews, this product works if you tune it right. In order to work, you need to install the driver. All I had to do on my Windows computer was plug a USB into my computer and install the software. The image will be enlarged if you plug the adapter into the wrong USB port on your computer. It must be connected to a USB 3.0 port. Changed USB ports and everything worked. The only thing about this adapter is that there is no user manual, so you basically have to figure…

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • There are more interesting options.

Exactly as described and what I need to expand my display to 3!

Very easy installation with driver CD included (yes you can also download the driver from their website if you don't have a CD drive). Install the driver, connect the cable to the USB port, and then connect the VGA monitor to the cable. It took me 25 minutes in total, including waiting for the customer. In the Windows display settings, select "Extend display" and then set your resolution and then order your monitor. and the resolution is figured out, but this is a feature of Windows 10 and has…

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • old

Quick and easy installation, works great!

I was concerned after reading all the negative reviews but this worked great. So easy that I looked like a genius to my client. I plugged it into a USB port that has a monitor plugged into it. Windows cannot identify the device. I went to the website listed on the package, downloaded and installed the driver, restarted the computer and both monitors started working. I was worried it would only be a mirror image but it's not, it's definitely a dual screen. It really needs to be plugged into a…

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Outdated

My View Sonic monitor (second) suddenly stopped working. My computer is about four years old and I didn't want to change anything because it's really good. My company's IT specialist advised me to purchase this product. But the resolution was wrong and the option to select a different resolution was not available. Will have to return. The result is this: the monitor has connectors for plugs. VGA (blue) and DVI (white) are the two ports I have on the View Sonic. A desktop computer has multiple…

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
