Pros & Cons
Pros
- ✓ Molded housing with thumbscrews locks the connection down
- ✓ Solves VGA-source-to-DVI-I-display wiring without a new video card
- ✓ Passive DVI-I analog pinout, so no power brick or drivers needed
Cons
- ✗ DVI-I only, so it will not work on DVI-D ports
- ✗ Analog VGA signal caps sharpness versus a native digital link
- ✗ Female-to-female orientation in the listing conflicts with the F/M feature text
- ✗ No cable length, so it hangs off the port under its own weight
