Question 1

A stupid question, probably, but I'm wondering. The specs say "VGA monitor" to "DVI video port", but does it work the other way? Will it work with a VGA output and a DVI-I input?

Accepted Answer

Cameron M Input output is subjective. I am using it for a DVI out of PC to Monitor input which is VGA. You should also be able to reverse, VGA out of PC to DVI in on monitor. Will work both ways. I hope this helps. R

Question 2

Is the the cable that connects a pc with VGA port to a projector with a DVI port?

Accepted Answer

You could connect a projector with a dvi port using this cable.  I used it to connect my VGA monitor to my video card that only has dvi ports.  You could also consider a DVI/VGA adapter, which you may get more usage out of.

Just make sure your projector's DVI port is DVI-I or DVI-A.  If you have a DVI-D port you will need a different cable (DVI-D is without the 4 pins around the flat pin on the end)

Question 3

I am trying to hook up a larger monitor to my laptop. This cord looks right, but I cannot tell if it has the 4 pins (2 on each side) of the blade terminal. Plus my DVI has two groups of 9 pins and the a single blade. Is this the one I need or not?

Accepted Answer

The real question is whether your laptop's DVI port will support an analog signal.  This plug has a wider tab, so it can only be used with DVI ports that accept an analog signal.  Newer PCs motherboards, monitors, laptops and graphics cards are phasing out analog compatibility and even DVI ports altogether.  To keep things simple, if your DVI port on your laptop has a very narrow slot, this plug will not work.  If the slot is longer, then your system will still accept an analog signal from a monitor.  If you would like a visual example, see if you can find an image of the inputs on a GeForce GTX 570 or 670 series - those devices usually had one DVI port that accepted analog and another that was digital only.  The differences in the ports, despite both being DVI, should illustrate things nicely.

Hope this helps
