I saw that this comes with DVI to VGA adapter but I just want to make sure that this box be connected directly to the monitor VGA port. Anyone tried?

Yes I tried and it worked... only for a month when the unit broke and nothing worked after that. Tried to get a refund but since I start it using it a year after I bought it the warranty expired and they refused.Stay away from this and get something better (like I did) Mediasonic HW-150PVR HomeWorx ATSC Digital TV Converter Box with Media Player and Recording PVR Function/HDMI Out (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CXAE92K/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&ps;c=1). I had this unit for a year now and works great!

This DVI cable cannot connect directly to a VGA port. It is possible to use a VGA to DVI converter plug so that the different ports can connect, but the resulting picture quality has a chance of being very poor; sometimes it may work out well, though. DVI cables deliver digital-clear signals which VGA does not.

Thank you for your advice, Sandra. Yes, I connected the monitor via HDMI. So now I have 3 cable, HDMI, DVI to D-Sub, and DVI to DVI cable. Which cable do you suggest to make a good picture ? Thanks again.

I used a DisplayPort to a DVI-D cord. Unfortunately, the HDMI only works out, not in. However, the screen resolution is still nice and sharp.

It comes with a VGA cable, and a power cable. The VGA will connect to a PC with a VGA port. There is also a DVI connector, but no cable supplied. They're fairly inexpensive to get, though.

I just tried this and it does not appear to work (it could be my DVI to VGA adapter, but I don't think it's broken). You are better off buying a mini display port to VGA adapter.

Did you install the drivers for the DVI output? Pretty sure that the board only comes with native drivers for VGA.

Yes, you need a VGA cable. Look at the photo of the rear of the unit posted on the listing.

No you need the hdmi to VGA converter box it converts digital to analog. The one in question converts analog to digital

No, VGA. But you could connect your DVI display to the VGA connector with the right adapter.

You'll need an adapter or converter from HDMI to DVI. This monitor has HDMI and VGA ports only.

You will need a mini displayport to DVI adapter/cable. Both adapters (where you would need to buy the adapter + a DVI cable) are available as well as full length cables that are mini displayport on one end and DVI on the other. Just search Amazon for "mini displayport to DVI" to see various options.

hello Brucethe only way to use this with one computer having a Display port is if you get an adaptor that will convert to DVI.. as those are the two only inlets for this switch box, DVI and VGA... you could do search for display port converters and you will get a wealth options that you can use with this switch box..

i have 2 monitors hooked up - 1 through standard VGA and 1 through a DVI -> HDMI connector (the computer has an HDMI port). but they are old monitors, and it took a bit of doing to find the correct windows drivers. but it is doable.

This monitor has only a DVI dual link connector, no VGA nor HDMI. If you can install a dedicated graphics card that (also) has that sort of connector, you're in business. It's a very clear and sharp monitor. Be sure your card will support the resolution to get the best out of it. I[m using a GTX 770 card. I've had no issues with this monitor so far. it arrived with no dead pixels.

The box supports carrying a VGA signal over DVI, but the bundled cables are probably DVI-D (digital only). To make your setup work, you would have to separately buy DVI-I (integrated digital & analog) cables and the DVI to VGA adapter.
