An open green tint makes the converter almost unusable.

Although the refresh rate is good and the converter works even without electricity, the picture is a little washed out and the worst thing is that the converter gives the picture a green tint that you really only see in grays and blacks. I hooked it up to both my TV and monitor and both showed a distinct green cast that can't be corrected no matter what settings I change. The graphics card I hooked it up to is literally brand new out of the box about an hour ago. This is not a malfunction as…

1st time DOA, 2nd time works!

Bought to convert DVI-D to VGA on my computer so I can use two monitors. Although my computer sees and reads the new monitor as present, there is no signal on the monitor. I have tested the monitor and VGA cable and they work 100% with my DVI-I adapter. This device is losing signal. My computer is outputting something, but my monitor is not receiving anything. StarTech also promises a 24-hour response time for technical support. They could not answer my problem within such a time. 0/10 will not

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

Works great when not connected to KVM. Best of the three I've tested

, I'm updating my reviews. The problem I was trying to solve was connecting 3 monitors to an Evga GTX 760 graphics card, one of which went through a VGA KVM. The problem is that after installing the VGA/Analog drivers, the signal is disabled when a digital (HDMI and/or DVI-D) monitor is connected. So you need to use some kind of digital to analog converter. Windows looks at the signal from your monitor to decide what can be displayed and of course periodically checks for monitor changes to…

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Not automatic

Finally a converter that actually works

The converter arrived on September 16th and after using it for 4 weeks (October 6th) it still works perfectly! I have an integrated AMD A8 graphics card and a DVI-D input on the mainboard. I wanted to connect 2 VGA monitors with a resolution of 1440x900 and 1280x1024 to my computer. After hours and days of research and helping a friend to see if it's possible to connect VGA to DVI-D, he came to the conclusion that you can't just use a converter to connect VGA to DVI-D to connect because you…

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Doubtful
