StarTech DP2VGA DisplayPort to VGA Video Adapter Converter

Pros: Nice concept, small adapter, seems to be well-made, cheap.

Cons: Doesn't work. I tried using these on an Intel board with HD graphics, has VGA and displayport outputs. I was trying to save money by going with a vga only monitor. I thought it might have been due to the vga limitations (it wasn't a dual output, so the monitor is only analog). SO I tried it on the existing monitor that did have Digital input, and it still wouldn't work.

Pros: Works perfectly. Hangs off the GPU by a short cable to leave room for other connectors.

Cons: Pretty expensive for an adapter.

Other Thoughts: Bought this because it was the only DP to VGA adaptor I could find, but $35 + shipping seems awfully pricey.

Pros: Good part, plugged it in, it did exactly what you expected:
it converts displayport to vga.

the cable is short, unnoticeable, and is solid on connection.

Cons: none.

Other Thoughts: startech has always been my go-to for cable needs.

if you live in the analog era still, then you need to have this adapter.

Pros: It works ! Plug and play with eyefinity and third monitor. Feels solid.

Cons: None so far.

Other Thoughts: Trying to set up a third monitor with eyefinity (Asus 6050 2GB card) with cables alone. Wouldn't work. Got this and added and third monitor displayed insantly.

Pros: Works most of the time, except for...

Cons: ...purchased 4 of these for work in a PC lab designed for imaging. Was working under the assumption that this would work in place of the DVI adapters to use with our VGA only KVM switches. Video processing seems to take considerably longer using this product instead of the DVI. Did not work at all when going standalone into one of our monitors directly.

Other Thoughts: It would be in your best interest to switch out your KVM switch instead of buying 4 of these. Pricetag might be higher, but headaches will decrease significantly.

Pros: This adaptor allows my Dell 14z laptop to use an external monitor since the computer has no vga or dvi output. It works well on every monitor I've tried it on, up to 1900x1200 resolution.

Cons: Doesn't work well on all projectors, just some. The older projectors and the ones that University of Cincinnati have the are controlled through an control panel don't allow higher than 640x480 resolution. Newer ones allow native resolution just fine.

Other Thoughts: I would recomend this to anyone. Dell was stupid and thought HDMI and Displayport were good ways to attach monitors to this laptop. If they would have gone with mini-displayport, maybe, since Apple uses it I could have found an adaptor. It took me almost 6 months between getting the computer and finding this adaptor (just so happens eyefinity came out a couple weeks before this adaptor). Digital out is cool, but only if your accessories have digital inputs!
Nice product though.

Pros: - Enables a 3rd monitor on Eyefinity cards.
- Recognizes the monitor correctly
- Display is sharp and the resolution is correct.

Cons: - None.

Other Thoughts: It is not approved by ATI for Eyefinity but the dongles they have approved so far are hard to find. This works just fine.

Pros: I have a Dell precision T5500 with 2 Dell monitors. No problem with the converter. Newegg was fast to ship! thanks.

Cons: none-exactly what I needed and it worked.

Pros: It worked great to hook a spare VGA monitor to a DVI out video card. Worked first try.

Cons: Wasn't free nor did it come with a beautiful babe to install it.

Other Thoughts: Had to manually set the refresh rate on the HD monitor because of screen flicker.

Pros: Does connect VGA to DisplayPort

Cons: Unable to select a resolution other than VGA (640 X 480)

Other Thoughts: I'm able to use an external monitor, but only get VGA resolution. The "Hide modes that this monitor cannot display" check box is grayed out. I'm connecting a Dell 1280X1024 LCD to DisplayPort on a Dell Studio 14z (nVidia 9400m). I've sent a query to StarTech's tech support, so we'll see if they are able to suggest a fix.
