### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works as advertised
*by J***T on April 7, 2026*

Absolutely plug and play. Workes perfectly with no "set-up" required. Vidio is absloutely clear for Written word, spreadsheets, u-tube. I do not Game or watch HDR, but no resolution issues for what I do.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works fine
*by M***S on February 27, 2026*

My old computer used a VGA port to connect the monitor. My new computer uses a display port. I purchased this adapter to convert my display port to VGA, so I could use the same monitor. It works fine and saved me money.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good, but not perfect for CRT gaming
*by E***E on June 17, 2025*

This is a very competent adapter that should work well if you have a monitor that only goes up to 1600x1200@60Hz or lower, but it will not go beyond that. I strongly recommend the extra bit for a StarTech DP2VGAHD20 if you have a monitor that can take higher bandwidths. Pros: - Switches resolutions quickly with no distortion - No major noise in the image - Doesn't cut out while using it - Working at the following resolutions: - 1600x1200@60Hz - 1200x900@100Hz - 1024x768@115Hz - 512x480@60Hz (good for SNES emulation) Cons: - Some resolutions are blurrier than my native output - Not working resolutions: (which are compatible with a GPU with VGA out) - 1920x1440@60Hz - 1600x1200@75Hz
