Very poor customer service from Amazon on this purchase.Be very careful on returning Amazon items if Amazon amkes a mistake. Amazon recommended this product. However, it was not needed because the Amazon description of the original video adapter did not indicate this product was included and was not needed.Amazon made and incorrect recommendation.Used Amazon's return label and Amazon charge me $5.02 because they said I choose to reuren instead of Amazon making a mistake.
The new PC's only accept digital cables (the white end cables), old monitors typically have only analog cable (the blue end cables) this makes them work together, so you don't have to buy a new monitor just yet.Besides I think LCD monitors are just a fad, my giant CRT is going to be back in style real soon. Old monitor - new computer.
It works great and I've had no problems with it for the past year. All my monitors are Vga; I bought this adapter to plug a second Vga monitor into the Dvi port. My computer's video card supports dual monitors. One port is Vga and the other is Dvi.
Based on the construction of the rubber case, this adapter should provide a long service life.Highly recommended. You really need to have an adapter that is easy to screw in without having the fingers of a child or needing a screwdriver. The attachment screws on this adapter are easy to access and turn by hand.The video signal transmission is top notch and I have not noticed any signal degredation by using this adapter.
The plastic casing that the converter is housed in seems pretty rugged, and will likely survive bouncing around in a laptop carry case. I bought this as a replacement for a DVI VGA cable to attach my Apple MAC G4 laptop with overhead projectors (the original, Apple-supplied cable developed a short, which is a known problem with this Apple product). Definitely recommended. Of course, only time will tell on this, though.In short, the product "says what it does, and does what is says". This item worked perfectly, and I can now use my laptop with overhead projectors again (1280x1024, 32 bit color). I suspect it will last longer than the supplied Apple converter, as there is no cable to bend (and thus cause shorts in the contained wiring).
