Works with VGA cables on cables and connections

Thumbs up. They worked. The only thing I had to think about was to completely shut down the computer when installing, they don't seem to be plug and play. Or the display port on the Dell desktops I connected them to weren't plug and play. After I figured it out, they worked fine.

Pros
  • Always liked
Cons
  • For old

Works well in "Cables and Connections "

The adapter works great and seems pretty solid and I don't think it's easy to break. A disadvantage is the VGA connection. The screw holes don't match, which means you can't tighten the VGA connector. Not a big deal as the VGA port seems to be held tight enough that nothing really moves.

Pros
  • Easy install
Cons
  • I won't say anything

I ordered this cable to connect my old monitor to a newer tower and it worked great. Now I can use 2 monitors (1 old, 1 new) on my newest computer again. woo hoo! Many Thanks.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Makes me angry

Light, convenient and fast!

Just what I worked for. I worked for a small nonprofit and needed something affordable that could get the job done. Light, convenient and fast! This is my new best friend! 1000 free apps, Google Drive and USB support. A must for the professional on a budget.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Protection

Not bad overall

Pros: It does exactly what you need, use old VGA monitors on DP inputs. It also looks great with a glossy finish on the VGA side. Cons: Due to the female side of the VGA, the connector is heavy and pulls on the DP connector on the graphics card/motherboard, which can cause damage after years of use. It could also just be my connector, but no matter how tight I screw in the VGA connector, I still get a shaky picture (not noticeable in games or videos, but if you're on a webpage with a lot of…

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Boring packaging

Working VGA cable

I needed this at work to connect a second monitor to my docking station. I don't have any other cables to compare it to, but I've had no issues with it and I believe it will probably work just as well as the more expensive cables available in stores or online.

Pros
  • great product
Cons
  • low repairability

Much more like the original HP DisplayPort to DVI Adapter

I give 5 stars because it works perfectly as it should, but I have to say the picture does NOT match the product. The product I received looks like the standard HP DisplayPort to DVI adapter that came with the docking station. That means it has a short length of cable between the DisplayPort connector and the VGA connector. It is not a piece as shown. For me it wasn't the slightest problem. Again it works great.

Pros
  • Worth the money
Cons
  • Is OK
