StarTech DP2VGA2 DISPLAYPORT TO VGA VIDEO ADAPTE CONVERTER - (> Other Accessories)

Good quality product works well 😁

I originally discounted this item, figuring it was a bit expensive compared to some of the ostensibly comparable items available. However, having bought an iClever® Black Display Port DisplayPort Male to VGA Female Adapter Converter, which failed miserably, I came back and bought this instead.The colour cast problems I had with the other item are gone -- this displays identical colours to the primary monitor, and also copes with Windows 7 hibernation, which the iClever didn't.This is definitely a premium sort of product -- the packaging's better, there's a QR Code with a link to the product specification, the Displayport plug is latching, so that it doesn't fall out.All in all, it works as expected, and I can't ask for much more than that. It's more expensive than others, but worth the money for the quality.

I needed to connect a Dell laptop, via its docking station, to a pair of VGA (analogue, not digital) widescreen monitors. The docking station provides one VGA output, and two digital-only DVI connectors. DVI-to-VGA adapters don't work in this situation, as they simply connect any analogue signals on the DVI connector to the appropriate pins on the VGA connector. However, the docking station is also fitted with DisplayPort connectors in parallel with the DVI ones. This DisplayPort adapter is a lot cheaper than the digital-DVI to VGA equivalents and does the job perfectly. No problems after several months of everyday use.

Works without a problem

I ordered 2 of these devices, one for myself, and one for a colleague's computer.We are both using Dell Precision T5610 workstations for CAD purposes, the adapter is plugging into the Displayport socket of an nvidia Quadro K2000.I have heard of no problems with my colleague's adapter, however mine occasionally turns itself off for a second before coming back on. It does it seemingly randomly, but the screen will just go black then in a moment reappear.It's still fine for my use, as I only use it for my emails and some other uncommon tasks that require a second display, BUT I would not reccomend this for anything that requires reliability and constant output such as a multi monitor gaming set up.

This is a simple bit of kit, converting the Displayport to VGA, the video socket on older monitors. The gold-plated connections are good quality and the resulting picture excellent.I've ordered another of the same make, mini-Displayport to VGA, for my laptop too. Just check you order the right size!

Bought this in Sept 2014 and at first I didn't use two displays much, 18 months on I use two screens at work all the time, it is so useful. On all my other devices I only have 1 screen and I wished I had 2. The adaptor works seemlessly, brilliant!

I recently updated my graphics card but wanted to continue using my 14 year old analogue vga monitor for a dual screen setup. This adapter worked straight out of the packaging, with no flickering on the monitor (which has happened with other adapters). It fits snugly into the displayport outlet of the GPU and has a small button to remove it. All in all very happy with this.
