BENFEI DisplayPort to DVI

Bottom line: The BENFEI DisplayPort to DVI ($9.99 on Amazon as of 2026-10-20 22:15 UTC): Active IC chip converts DP to DVI, not a passive pin-swap; main trade-off: one-way only: cannot run DVI source to DisplayPort display.

Manufacturer description

The BENFEI DisplayPort to DVI adapter solves a specific problem: your laptop or desktop has a DisplayPort output, but the monitor or projector in front of you only takes DVI. This male-to-female converter bridges that gap with a built-in active IC chip that translates the DisplayPort signal into DVI, handling resolutions up to 1920x1080 at 60Hz along with 1600x1200, 1280x1024, and 720p modes. It is a one-way converter, so plan your setup with the DisplayPort end at the source.

SpecPicks Verdict

SpecPicks scored BENFEI DisplayPort to DVI using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the retro graphics & video category. BENFEI's retro graphics & video lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this adapter work in reverse, from DVI to DisplayPort?

No. BENFEI states it is not a bi-directional converter and cannot transmit signals from DVI to DisplayPort. The DisplayPort male end must plug into your source device.

What is the maximum resolution it supports?

Up to 1920x1080 at 60Hz (1080p Full HD). It also supports 1600x1200, 1280x1024, and 720p for other monitors and projectors.

Do I need to buy anything else to use it?

Yes, a DVI cable is required. The adapter is DisplayPort male to DVI female, so you connect a DVI cable between it and your monitor or projector.

Will it fit my Dell, HP, or Lenovo machine?

BENFEI lists compatibility with Lenovo, Dell, HP, and other brands with a standard DisplayPort output. Confirm your system has a full-size DisplayPort port rather than Mini DisplayPort.

How long is it covered if it stops working?

BENFEI includes an 18-month unconditional warranty with customer service support. Check the product listing for current warranty terms and claim details.
