The four holes around the "line" plug on the DVI adapter are designed to handle analog signals. Can you use a DVI to VGA adapter on the end of this?

No it does not work. Just tried it also. BlueRigger added the pins to making it seem like it can do think it can. I'd say I was jipped but the DVI portion works fine.

It would probably only work if you're using a DVI cable variant that has the four pins and therefore sends an analog signal. The video below explains the difference between DVI and VGA and how different pins send analog or digital signals.https://youtu.be/f38sotYHqtA

I don't know. I have not tried it. You are better of buying a mini display port to vga adapter.

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.

No. Only 1x VGA port. There are other models that do support DVI and VGA. But, as I found, not this model.

no, it's a proprietary connector (on card) which fits a breakout cable (provided with card) which in turn provides 2 DVI ports.so in short - 2 DVI output, no VGA.You can of course place a DVI to VGA adapter (passive) on one of the DVI outputs (cable) and thus achieve DVI+VGA but it seems too much hassle given there are many card that will provide that (DVI+VGA) natively, IF that is what you're looking for. Hope that helps.

Sure, shouldn't be a problem. I've converted mine to Thunderbolt. The biggest problem overcome by using this monitor is that the power has to go through this adapter. The DVI signal is fully standard.

Yes, depending on which Dvi you're using, (there are several types) there is usually a higher resolution than you would get from a VGA cable.

I assume you can, the monitor has connections for VGA, DV-I, and HDMI. I was very disappointed in the resolution, but connecting it was easy enough.

Do not try to use a monitor with a D style VGA connector that has an hd-15 connector, I tried buying two kinds of adapters to go from hd-15 to hdmi and neither one of them worked.

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 was hesitant to answer because I'm not sure. I tried to convert the DVI to HDMI for a laptop to be on my 4 port switch and had a hell of a time finding an adapter to work. I'd research the adapters and find one that says they did that sucessfully... that would be your answer.

I would contact the manufacturer. The literature specifically states "This is NOT a bi-directional cable" It is intended to pass display port signal to DVI

This device converts from Display Port to Digital Video, DVI. It will not help your VGA issue unless you add a DVI to VGA adapter.

Hopefully you are using an HDMI to VGA, not a VGA to HDMI if you are taking the HDMI OUT to a VGA IN on the monitor. They only work one way. As far as the adapter, it's just strait wire - no issues there.

No. It's VGA to analog connector. But, it does not convert any signal at all. In fact it is useless.

This will work for converting DVI to VGA. The only way it won't work is if the signal is DVI-D which in that case you'll need an active converter. You can tell by looking at the flat part on the DVI connector and see if it has 2 pins above and below it, and if it does it is not DVI-D so it should work.

HDMI and DVI share a common signal format but a different pin/plug configuration. All this does or needs to do is adapt the plugs. (HDMI on older devices may not always work universally but there is nothing that any adapter can do about that.)

Yes, you can, I was very pleased, none of the stores had this or knew how to do it, but it makes the connection and works with older vga devices, when you have the newer HDMI ports. Very pleased. Jim Moore

You need a DVI cable. This is much better than a VGA for the high quality video adapter you have. Local stores will charge you $40+ for this cable, online you can get them for $12. No Difference as far as I can tell.
