Rankie DisplayPort to VGA Adapter, 1080P Full HD, Black

It works , that is what counts. The cable on it reduces stress on the port on the computer. It was shipped quickly.

Like most people, I am working from home now due to covid. Received a new Dell laptop from my employer after my government-issue HP decided to go wonky, only to discover there is no monitor connection on the new Dell laptop. I wasn't in the office to raid the IT room for supplies, so I ordered two of these adapters, half expecting them to be junk. They arrived quickly (next day!) and work well; easy to connect! There are many different options so make sure you order the right adapter! I am very impressed with the quality & price and have been recommending to my coworkers in case they find themselves in the same predicament. It's nice to find a quality product at a fair price. Been using this for a few weeks now, and no problems.

works perfectly with a old monitor

For a few years, I have been using a 32" HDTV as my monitor for both gaming and doing some general working from home. My previous graphics adapters have all had VGA ports or at least DVI-I ports where you could use a DVI-VGA adapter. I just purchased a new video card and I noticed it and all new cards don't seem to have the DVI-I ports any more. I would use HDMI, but my TV does not support sleep mode as a monitor through the HDMI. I bought this cheap adapter to use instead and it is currently working, though not perfectly. I have it working as I want but had to jump through some hoops. Windows detected the native resolution of the TV as being 1280x1024, where it is in fact a full HD TV. Luckily I was able to go into the Nvidia adapter settings and create a custom resolution for full 1920x1080. For those in a similar bind, I set timing to DMT. It is working now, and seems to be a decent adapter for such a cheap price. My only issue now is when I go into game settings, it will only let me choose a maximum of 1280x1024. If I leave my setting alone, they will play at the correct resolution. Will be dificult with setting up new games .

Works well @ 1920 x 1080 resolution, the max my monitor works with. Unfortunately, at that resolution, the color quality decreased a little (not enough to bug me at all) and the image looked a tiny bit stretched.As for reliability, I've had this for a few weeks and it's kept up, but the Rankie brand has held up well for me. I have another adapter (HDMI to VGA) that has worked well for about a year now. Neither adapter seems near death.The size is also quite reasonable. The cord coming out makes a huge difference. A normal adapter would be smashed off on my computer, but this one flexes just like a normal cord - solid connections, no wiggle, and a solid feel.

It all started when I came across a nice little monitor in my local thrift store. I hadn't given much thought to the idea that having two monitors hooked up at my work station would be nice, but here I was in the thrift store and they had a relatively new monitor sitting there with a $3.50 price tag on it. I figured for $3.50 and tax I'm joining the 2 monitor club! I got to my office with my cheap monitor in tow and to my surprise I found that I needed this little DP to VGA adapter to hook things up. I pulled up amazon and here it is. Inexpensive and perfectly suited to the task. I'm less than eleven dollars invested and enjoying the dual monitor life. No problems with the product so far.

Ever since I purchased my Rankie DisplayPort (DP) to VGA Adapter, the opposite sex has not looked at me the same. Its like they know I have something special under the desk. Since I purchased this item I have gained 35lbs of solid muscle and I can run the mile in under 5 minutes. I no longer need coffee in the mornings and I require less and less sleep, as my computer monitor works perfectly with its new adapter. The hair on the top of my head is growing back, and several of my wrinkles seem to have gone away. I am not sure what is with this product, but it seems to have turned back time.TLDR: This adapter worked perfectly and arrived in quick order. I may need another one, and would use this same model again..

This produces a usable display on a VGA monitor from a DisplayPort output, but it's not one that I'd want to use on a regular basis. Colors were washed out compared to using the same monitor with a direct VGA and DVI connections or and HDMI to VGA adapter. In addition, there were some odd horizional lines where colors that were the same would be visibly different above and below the transition line in the display when using this adapter. So it's OK if you have occasional need to briefly hook up a DisplayPort to a VGA monitor, but if you're going to be staring at it all day you probably want something else.
