USB 3.0 to VGA Adapter for Extra Displays

This white adapter connects an additional VGA monitor, projector or HDTV to a notebook or desktop through a USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 port. It functions as an external VGA video card and supports primary, extended, mirror and rotate display modes. The unit is bus-powered and requires no external power supply. It is suited for users who need a simple way to add a second screen without opening the computer case.

USB Male Type A to VGA Female Connection

The adapter provides a USB 3.0 Male Type A connector on a 4-inch cable and a VGA (HD15) Female port for the display cable. It operates within USB 3.0 bandwidth of up to 5 Gbps and remains backward compatible with USB 2.0 ports. Video amplifier bandwidth reaches 1.65 Gbps at 165 MHz. Maximum supported resolutions are 1920x1080 and 1600x1200. The device fits builds that have a free USB port but lack a spare native video output.

DisplayLink Driver Enables Multi-Monitor Modes

The bundled DisplayLink driver software handles the video processing over the USB link and unlocks extend, mirror and rotate configurations. Without the driver the adapter cannot produce a video signal, so installation is mandatory before use. No additional cables or power adapters are included in the package. Buyers who need digital outputs such as HDMI or DisplayPort, or who require resolutions above 1080p, should consider a different solution.

Questions about this item

What is the maximum video resolution the PPA USB 3.0 to VGA adapter can sustain over a full workday?

The adapter supports up to 1920x1080 and 1600x1200 resolution. Video amplifier bandwidth is 1.65 Gbps / 165 MHz, which sets the practical ceiling for continuous output.

How much heat or fan noise does the bus-powered adapter produce when driving a monitor all day?

The unit is bus-powered with no internal fan. It draws power from the USB 3.0 or 2.0 port, so heat stays low and operation is silent during extended use.

Which port must the host computer already have for this adapter to function?

A USB 3.0 Type-A or USB 2.0 Type-A port is required. The adapter plugs directly into that port and provides a VGA (HD15) female connector for the display cable.
