Frequently Asked Questions

Will this adapter work with a DVI-D port?

No. It is designed for DVI-I sources, which carry analog pins. StarTech.com directs DVI-D users to its DVI2VGACON or DVI2VGAE converters instead.

Do I need to install drivers or software?

No. Installation is plug-and-play with no settings and no software required. Connect it to the DVI-I port and attach your VGA display cable.

Which end is male and which is female?

It is M/F: the DVI-I side is a male connector that plugs into your computer or graphics card, and the VGA side is a female connector that accepts a standard VGA cable.

Does it come with a warranty?

Yes. StarTech.com backs the DVIVGAMFBK with a lifetime warranty. Check the current product listing for the exact terms that apply to your purchase.

Can I use it to connect a laptop to a projector?

Yes, if the laptop has a DVI-I output. It converts that DVI-I source to VGA female for a monitor or projector input.
