BENFEI Active DVI-D to VGA Adapter, DVI-D 24+1 to VGA Male to Female Adapter

Works great for connecting a vga only monitor to the dvi port on a graphics card.

We are in the unusual position that the technology of our PC has outpaced the technology of our monitors. We use two VGA monitors on a PC with one HDMI and one DVI-D connector. This DVI-D to VGA adapter works perfectly for our application. The monitors may be old technology but they have sufficient resolution for our purpose. It is a real plus to be able to use them for another few years - thanks to this DVI-D adaptor. Further we have another PC connected to the monitor with a KVM switch. So our video system is VGA from the monitors through the KVM switch right up to the back of the PC - where the DVI-D adaptor takes over. KVM switches for VGA monitors are more readily available and far less expensive than HDMI or DVI KVM switches. This DVI-D adaptor has allowed us to reduce our costs for two pieces of equipment, the VGA monitor and the VGA KVM switch - much appreciated and highly recommended.

Previously I was using a Moread HDMI to VGA adapter and it worked on an old Windows install. I had it hooked up to my intel onboard video. Had to reinstall Windows and the Moread adapter shrank the image. No matter what I tried I couldn't fix this. I ended up ordering this Benfei DVI-D to VGA adapter. It was cheap and had good reviews. It worked as soon as I plugged it into my video card's DVI port. Very happy with this little adapter. If you need something that just works, get this!

Works as expected

Good enough.

Well, first off I don't normally write reviews but since we got so many adapters to choose from it was a must especially if you're struggling to find out what will work for you. I was upgrading my dad's monitor setup from two to three which was the max his EVGA GT710 card would support. We realized our third monitor a DELL 24" only had VGA/DP port available. The GPU only had the DVI-D available unless we reconfigured everything...NOT happening. I searched far and wide for a legit adapter that had DVI-D output from the GPU to VGA since we were trying to minimize costs only using what we had on hand. I gotta say at first I was skeptical about the quality and if it would work considering I noticed a lot of other adapters had fallen apart rather quickly or simply stopped functioning. This one feels like it's built to last and pretty durable too. The most important thing is it WORKED with absolutely zero problems. If you are looking for a DVI-D adapter to VGA this one will get the job done proper, look no further order this one. TLDR GPU output DVI-D to a VGA monitor. It works!

Update after several years of daily use: Almost forgot it was ever even there. Has worked flawlessly for thousands of hours without any hiccups. I was worried this might cause some lag in the signal, but none that I can detect. It works exactly like my computer did before I upgraded the video card which had a DVI-D plug. Only thing I had to do was reset my screen resolution and put the screen scaling back to 100% in Windows 10. For some reason it set my screen scaling to 150% so all my icons were huge. Great device that you can just plug in once and forget.

Adaptador que cumple.

Nothing much to say - it arrived next day, good and solid quality, works perfectly. Was worth the money so happy

Fungerade utan problem

L’ho preso per risolvere un piccolo problema di connessione: avevo un monitor VGA ancora perfettamente funzionante e un PC con uscita solo DVI-D. Questo adattatore mi ha permesso di riutilizzare il vecchio schermo, collegandolo in pochi secondi senza bisogno di driver o configurazioni. Il collegamento è immediato (plug & play): basta infilare l’adattatore nella porta DVI-D e poi collegare un normale cavo VGA (che non è incluso, ma nel mio caso ce l’avevo già). Lo uso per visualizzare il secondo schermo, utile per tenere aperte email, fogli Excel o browser mentre lavoro sul principale. L’immagine è stabile, nessun tremolio o sfarfallio, e anche la risoluzione (fino a 1080p) è più che sufficiente per l’uso quotidiano. Non è un adattatore attivo, quindi non fa miracoli su qualità o conversione digitale/analogico, ma se le uscite e gli schermi sono compatibili, fa esattamente ciò che promette. Robusto nella costruzione, compatto, e con un attacco solido. Un oggetto semplice, ma risolutivo per chi ha ancora periferiche VGA da sfruttare.

Adapter Handig in gebruik . Werkt alleen niet als de video - kaart van de pc actief is ..
