Can I use DVI to VGA adapters to display video on VGA monitors?

Normally that works just fine. I have those adapters on my computer.. PCLiquidations.com

You should use DVI-D dual link cable. Unfortunately not all DVI cables are equal. Even if you see all pins present on the cable ends it doesn't mean that the cable is actually DVI-D dual link type (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Visual_Interface). For me this mistake ended up in buying new video card as I thought my old one wasn't capable of supporting this resolution.

Edited answer: Monitor is VGA, no this will not work. HDMI and DVI are both digital signals. VGA is analog. DVI carries additional VGA pins that can be adapted to VGA, but those pins to not exist in a VGA header. You need a specialty adapter or a DVI/HDMI capable monitor for this to work.

You are correct, plug the adapter into your Graphics Card and then use your own DVI cable. Please be aware that this adapter will not work for monitors that require Dual-Link bandwidth (120hz+ monitors, or resolutions above 1920x1200).

It depends on what you are trying to do. You CAN'T go from a VGA output from your computer to a digital input on the monitor. I ended up not using this adapter and buying a new, plain vanilla video card with two HDMI outputs, and connecting my monitors with HDMI cables. ( P.S., this was a snap; there was futzing around involved at all).

Yes. You will have to use the provided DVI-d to VGA adapter, but it is 100% possible. I am running triple monitor with Displayport, HDMI, and DVI-d all off this card

DVI TO HDMI can use. VGA TO HDMI , VGD TO DVI can not be used directly, the need for IC.

IF your computer has BOTH a vga and a dvi video output then its a qualified "yes"...but it depends on the video card...you would have one monitor hooked up to the vga out and one to the dvi out using this adapter. I assume you dont have a monitor with dvi input to test first...If you have only one video output, there are usb-based multiple monitor devices you might want to check out as an option.

Depends on the monitors you want to connect. But i recommend DVI + DVI or DVI + DisplayPort.

The unit supports dual link Dvi which means only a DVI connector will mate. You can use a converter however to go from dvi to VGA. But if you do not have a need for a dual link Dvi, you can get a different model that supports normal single link dvi. My 2556 Dell monitor needed the dual link, but I also needed a high res grhics card as well.

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.

I have two monitors hooked up to this computer - one DVI and one VGA - they both work just fine

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.

Good evening - An adapter is not necessary as I have a DVI and Monitor cable ports on the monitors.

Yes. You can input VGA and output VGA or DVI all or a combination of outputs. Also you can input DVI and output VGA or DVI or a combination. You will need DVI to VGA adaptor

I agree with what ReynerN said in response to your question; so long as you have a DVI output from your desktop, VGA is cake.
