You can buy a DVI to VGA sex change adapter on the video connect end. They're cheap. You'd be happier with a DVI out vid card. There is some signal loss in the downconvert from the DVI to older VGA. DVI delivers an improved signal to noise ratio that an 'expert' can see in color rendering comparison.

The card has a squid adapter that has four DVI-D (DVI Dual link) female side.You can adapter the dvi down to VGA but you will have resolution problems when the monitor does not send a response signal. Long story short DVI monitors only. -Cade

The DVI side goes on the back of the computer, not the monitor. The monitor side must have the VGA cable.

No, you would need a VGA to DVI when I bought this it was for a DVI to VGA just get the connection the other way around

You need to verify if the laptop Graphics card is a dual DVI input, that is required for this monitor.... you can email the vendor and they will let you know if it is compatible.....

Your workstation is listed as having two DisplayPort and one VGA video outputs. Did it not come with this adapter? If not, it then depends on the inputs on your monitor. If it will accept DP, DVI, or VGA then you have options. You can either get a DP cable, VGA cable, or this adapter and use a DVI cable. That's why I had to get the adapters, because the monitors I was using would only take DVI or VGA input and I wanted to connect to them using the DVI port. Hope this helps.

No. Read the FAQ: http://www.oppodigital.com/opdv971h_FAQ.htm#B7 The DVI output is DVI-D (digital only) while VGA is analog only.

Hello Smlyon2009,Monitor comes with a VGA and a DVI-D cable. The cable you would use would depend on your laptops input. Most laptops have a VGA input so I am going to say yes it does.

Can't use it as a monitor the way it is-doen't have a vga or dvi terminal. You will need to get a pc to tv converter to connect the vga output from a computer to the rca composite terminal on the tv.

This computer has a HDMI and VGA output. As long as your monitor has one of these inputs you will be fine.

You cannot use the cheap passive adapters for DVI to vga because the card has only DVI-I outputs. The expensive active adapters are required.

I would assume it would. You might have to Detect Displays (Cmd + F2) to get the VGA monitor online if your using it as a secondary monitor.

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.

VGA is very picky about connection quality. That's why I'm only using this device to switch keyboard and mouse. I connect the display through DVI or HDMI or DisplayPort directly then switch on the monitor itself.

It only has a VGA connection. So you would need some kind of converter and the quality would be poor.

Yes, VGA and HDMI. This PC doesn't have a DVI port but you can get cheap HDMI-DVI adapters.

It has VGA but no DVI. If you want to use DVI you will need an adapter. You can either use DVI to VGA or DVI to HDMI. I am using using a cable that has DVI on the end attached to my video card and HDMI on the monitor end.
