Pros: Does what it's intended to do. Using to connect LCD computer monitor that only has VGA and DVI inputs to a video card with DisplayPort output.

Cons: None yet.

Most Critical Review

Don't use with Macbook Pro

Pros: Seems to work fine as a simple mini-displayport to DVI adaptor and is not overpriced like some others.

Cons: When plugged into a Thunderbolt port of a Macbook Pro (very recent 2014 retina model) it works fine for getting signal to an external monitor, but it does something to screw up the Mac's ethernet connection, such that wireless internet connection goes away. As soon as I unplug it from the Macbook my internet connection immediately comes back.
