5.0 out of 5 stars User error, sorry, don't you make the same mistake..., June 26, 2011

This review is from: StarTech.com DVIVGAFM DVI to VGA Cable Adapter - F/M (Personal Computers)

Bought this adaptor, and it plain does not work. I thought it funny that they make a conversion box to go from DVI to VGA and yet they also sell a simple adaptor, no sure how others got this to work.

Product came in 1 day and was as described.

Update:

I figured it out. See this website ([...]), it explains it all, it is my user error. I have a DVI-D (D for digital) connection to my monitor, so I need a conversion box to go to VGA (VGA is analog signal). You have to have a DVI-A or DVI-I connection to not need a conversion box.

I guess for the low price, I suppose some of these are dead. Very disappointing though. I didn't bother to go through the returns.
