Cable Matters DisplayPort to VGA Adapter Male to Female, Gold Plated DP to VGA Adapter, Black

Plug and play. No issues after several months of use.

Needed this for our church projection system to convert the computers DVI output to a VGA projector.

After my company switched me to another computer, I noticed that the VGA port was missing. I needed an adapter for my presentations, and found the Cable Matters to match what I was looking for. After using it on daily basis for the last three weeks, I found that the adapter meets my needs very well. Great design, ease of use, flexible, and very necessary.

Pro: It does exactly what you need it to do, use old VGA monitors on DP inputs. It also looks nice with a gloss coating on the VGA side.Con: Due to the VGA female side the connector is heavy and will pull on your DP connector in your Graphics card/ Motherboard making possible damage occur after years of use. also it may just be my connector, but no matter how hard i screw in the VGA connector i still get a jittery image (not noticable in games or videos, but if you are on a webpage with lots of vertical lines you may notice it.Overall: its a solid product for anyone who has an old VGA monitor and is already using their VGA, DVI, and HDMI ports.

I read some of the negative reviews for this product so was a little worried. Today I used the product for a client who wanted three monitors and it worked fine. I ordered this one because the normal place I buy them had them back ordered. This one was cheaper and seems to work just as good and I had it in two days with prime shipping.

I am giving this 5 stars because it works perfectly as needed, but I must state: the picture does NOT match the product. The product I received looks like the standard HP DisplayPort to DVI adapter you get with the docking station. That is, it has a short piece of wire between the DisplayPort plug and the VGA plug. It is not a single piece as shown. For me, this was not an issue in the slightest. Again, it works perfectly.

It works like it's supposed to. I was able to continue to use my old monitor with my newly built pc.Quality wise : I found it to be good, not flimsy made.

As I have to install software on computers with Display Port (Standard NOT Mini Port) sometimes I have to find a monitor that has been put aside. With that said the monitors sometimes do not come with a DVI or HDMI port. This solves my issue and the computer graphics card detects the monitors every time.
