🔌 CABLEDECONN Active DVI-D Dual Link 24+1 Male to VGA Female Video Converter Adapter with Flat Cable - Black (E0207) Review

I wanted my home office to match my work so I needed two monitors. I needed to extend my monitor, not duplicate it. My computer only had one VGA monitor connector, but I noticed an unusual connector with 24 "holes" and one line-shaped "hole". I found out that it is a DVI-D connector. My second monitor only had a male VGA cable. After first ordering the WRONG converter (DVI, not DVI-D) and spending almost the same amount shipping it back, I bought this converter, plugged it in and it works…

I'm wondering if I have a bad block? This works the first time you plug it in, but if you turn off the computer, or if you leave and the computer puts the monitor to sleep, it's game over and won't work again without going through some ridiculous ritual. For starters I need to turn off the monitor using the power button because the monitor never goes to sleep on PC command or when the PC is turned off. The monitor keeps showing "Test Pattern". If the PC is on but has the monitor hibernating…

The picture quality is great, works fine on my system (Ubuntu 18.04 on the Gigabyte GA-AB350M-DS3H mobile phone) but the signal to translate the monitor to sleep is not right . It doesn't matter, but keep it in mind. The plug is slightly larger than it should be, so depending on the situation you may need to buy thinner adapters for what's next to it. I had to use a very thin HDMI->VGA adapter to connect both monitors.

As one reviewer said, there are no problems with the picture quality, in fact the picture quality is sharper and the contrast is better than when connected directly to VGA a graphics card. .However! When the monitor/video card switches video mode or goes into standby mode, the monitor will be locked in detection mode (ie check the video cable, it is not connected). Resetting the computer, shutting down and turning off the monitor will not resolve the issue, only unplugging the cable at both…

My workstation has a perfectly working 24+1 pin DVI connector and that's it. The cheap white connectors never worked properly, I had the one I've used the longest, it was the black 24+1 that came with an old NVIDIA graphics card I've been using for a few years and had it 3- 6 few months ago. Since then I have bought and returned several connectors from Revain and this is by far the best I have and it works every time. Thanks again for having it in stock and working as it should. A NOTICE. I…
