Never worked with cables and connections

I bought two in anticipation of the two DVI monitors I was about to receive. You connect the monitor to the computer and the computer recognizes that the monitor is connected, but they do not send any display signals. The screen stays black. I've tried these adapters on different computers, different monitors, and with different DVI cables. Same result. The computer "knows" the monitor is there, but it doesn't display anything. Can't return because the return period has expired but it was a…

Pros
  • Pretty impressive
Cons
  • Negative gift

Not the best in accessories and consumables

Adapter not working. The VGA cable works, the DVI cable works, the monitor works, maybe because of the old laptop, but I don't have anything else to test. I used to have so many of these bundled with graphics cards. I wish I could keep a few of these as they worked. I don't know why it doesn't work. The monitor knows it is connected, but there is no signal. The monitor has VGA HDMI and DVI inputs. The laptop only has VGA, in the end I only got a VGA cable. Shit I have so many DVI cables I was…

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Not bad

I'll never know if this thing works or not.

I don't think all DVI connectors are created equal. I have a Samsung monitor with both VGA and DVI ports, so I bought it to connect two laptops that only have VGA output ports, but unfortunately I will never know if this adapter will work or not because it doesn't fit . Apparently there are DVI-I and DVI-D connectors and they are not compatible and do not fit. So check the DVI cable pins and compare them to my picture to make sure they are the same before you buy. Hope that helps.

Pros
  • A dream come true
Cons
  • Good but not great

Simple, cheap and effective.

I needed this adapter to use a monitor I bought at a flea market. The monitor had a DVI output and a cable that came with it, but my PC's graphics card (GPU) only had an HDMI input. Just to be sure, I asked what I needed and it was confirmed that it would fit my needs. It really is like that. While it protrudes a bit and may not be the safest (avoid bumping into it), it's probably the best adapter you can find. I am completely satisfied with my purchase. Simple, cheap and does exactly what I…

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Sad hardware
