DVI-I to VGA adapter for legacy displays

This adapter converts a DVI-I male output into a VGA female port so you can connect an older monitor or projector to a desktop or laptop that only provides a DVI-I socket. The moulded connector includes thumbscrews for a secure fit. It is a passive device that simply rearranges the analogue pins already present on the DVI-I interface.

Analogue-only conversion limits digital sources

Because the adapter relies on the analogue pins of a DVI-I connector, it cannot work with DVI-D ports that carry only digital signals. It also cannot convert a purely digital source such as HDMI or DisplayPort without an active converter. The maximum supported resolution and refresh rate depend entirely on the capabilities of the graphics card and the attached VGA display.

DVI-I male to VGA female gender defines fit

The fixed DVI-I male plug and VGA female socket determine which cables and ports can be used together. Buyers needing to connect a VGA source to a DVI display, or those with DVI-D only outputs, will need a different adapter type.

Questions about this item

Should I choose this DVI-I to VGA adapter or a DVI-D version?

Pick this model when your source port is DVI-I; it carries the analogue pins a VGA monitor needs. A DVI-D port lacks those pins so a DVI-D adapter would not work.

What does the DVI-I male to VGA female conversion actually give me on a real PC?

It lets you plug a VGA monitor or projector into a DVI-I graphics output on systems such as a ThinkCentre M93p or HP ENVY 700-339 without extra cables.

Which video standard does the adapter use and what resolution ceiling does that impose?

The adapter passes the analogue VGA signal from a DVI-I port, so the practical limit is whatever your graphics card and VGA display negotiate over that analogue link.
