Description of πŸ”Œ Optimized DisplayPort to VGA Cable (6 Feet) by Cable Matters

Convenient VGA to DisplayPort cable directly connects a DisplayPort (DP, DP++, DisplayPort++) equipped computer to a monitor or projector with VGA input. Display Port to VGA cable transmits high-definition video from your computer to a monitor for video streaming; DisplayPort to VGA adapter cable connects and configures your monitor for an Extended Desktop or Mirrored Displays. DP to VGA adapter cable supports video resolutions up to 1080P (Full HD). Display to VGA cable with gold-plated connectors, bare copper conductors, and foil & braid shielding provides both superior cable performance and reliable connectivity. VGA to DisplayPort adapter connector with latches provides a secure connection with a release button that must be depressed before unplugging the VGA to DP adapter.

Simple as it should be.

With Windows 10 on, connected VGA to the back of my second monitor, turned on the monitor and then connected the DisplayPort end to the graphics card. Windows recognized the second monitor and presented configuration options. Simple as it should be. When the system goes to sleep, the second monitor incorrectly reports to Windows, resulting in a low resolution by default. The system needs to be restarted to fix the problem. I believe this is a Windows 10/driver issue for my AMD Radeon HD 7000…

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • No performance

+++PRO+++ +Cable is well formed +Has a secure click.

+++PRO++++Cable is well formed+Has a strong click on the DP end as well as a latch to prevent accidental disconnection.+Good thumbscrews on the VGA end and a tight fit + Excellent length + Unbeatable price and overall quality --- CON ---- The length of VGA adapter plug is a little longer than regular VGA to VGA cable, it may be due to signal conversion etc.

Unstable DP to VGA conversion.

Tried both these cables and DP to VGA adapters from the same company. I have a laptop dock with two DPs and one output and monitors with VGA inputs. Some (more expensive) adapters from Office Depot worked fine, but I tried these. and found that every time I turned on the screens or switched them to the VGA input, I would experience noise, squiggly lines, and other instabilities severe enough to render the monitor virtually unusable. Since I switch inputs frequently, this has also rendered the…

Pros
  • Expensive but decent
Cons
  • Poor kit

Works perfectly. Looks well made

I have a 5 or 6 year old monitor with a DVI input and a VGA input. I used the DVI input with my home desktop. Now that I'm working from home I need to connect my work laptop to a monitor and am tired of swapping cables from the back of the monitor. With this adapter I can connect the display port output of my desktop PC to the VGA input of my monitor. And I already have an HDMI to DVI cable that I use to connect my laptop to a different port on the monitor. I read online that using this type of

Pros
  • Don't waste too much time
Cons
  • I don't like anything about it, everything is fine

not for multi-monitor cards

It would be very rude to express my TOTAL dissatisfaction with this product. I bought a high-end 4x 4k graphics card. these cables do not fit next to each other on the board. The end of the cable is too big. So I can only use two monitors until I get a product with a smarter design. I can only conclude that they plugged them into a computer with ports stacked on top of each other and patted themselves on the back for a job well done. Also, releasing the release button requires too much force…

Pros
  • Availability
Cons
  • Nothing

I initially had the problem that my computer would not restart properly with this cable. I have an Nvidia FX1800 with 1 DVI port and 2 display ports. I ordered this cable and connected it to my VGA monitor, but the computer won't start. When I use a DVI to VGA cable, the computer boots correctly. It could be a card issue, but this cable just doesn't work for me. Cable Matters saw my post and asked ahead of time if they could send me a replacement cable. They sent me a new cable and I'm happy to

Works great for cables and connections

I have a Dell E-Port Replicator with 2 x display ports, 2 x DVI and 1 x VGA outputs. I had two 27" monitors with VGA and HDMI inputs that I wanted to connect. I used a VGA connection for 1 monitor. Secondly, the DVI to HDMI conversion resulted in screen flickering, so I bought this Displayport conversion cable. to VGA, which worked great.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors

He only works in Cables & Interconnects

CableMatters is a brand I trust; Even though there are cheaper cables out there, I've learned that when it comes to electronics, you always get what you pay for. I've been using this cable for about a month with no problems to connect an old 1080p second monitor to my 2060S card. No flickering, display errors or strange lines. It just works.

Pros
  • Best in his niche
Cons
  • Concise manual

Attention buyers! DP to VGA Male

As far as I can tell there is nothing wrong with this product. It came quickly, it was the same cable as in the description, it seems durable and I'm sure it will work. Except. This is a boy. This is a DisplayPort for a VGA MALE cable and if you read the description carefully you will find it. However, I mistook it for a female VGA cable, something I could connect the monitor to. I have no idea what you will be using the male VGA cable connector for, but if that is what you are looking for then

Pros
  • Ideal for a small home
Cons
  • Approximately
