Manufacturer description

Still running a VGA monitor or projector off a DVI-equipped PC? The StarTech.com DVIVGAMF DVI to VGA adapter bridges the gap. Each adapter converts a male DVI connector into a female VGA port. It plugs directly into the DVI-I output on your desktop or laptop, and your existing VGA cable plugs into the other end. This listing is a 2-pack, so you can equip two machines at once or keep a spare in the parts bin. That helps if you maintain retro PC builds, lab benches or conference-room setups where VGA displays are still in service. The connectors are molded and have thumbscrews, so the adapter…

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this StarTech.com adapter work with my graphics card's DVI port?

Only if the port is DVI-I, which carries the analog signal VGA needs. StarTech.com designed the DVIVGAMF for DVI-I sources. DVI-D-only ports have no analog pins, so they will not produce a VGA picture through this adapter.

How many adapters come in the box?

The DVIVGAMF listing is a 2-pack. StarTech.com notes that the feature details on the listing describe a single adapter, so you get two identical DVI male to VGA female adapters.

Can I use it to connect a computer to a VGA projector?

Yes. StarTech.com says it connects a DVI-I desktop or laptop to a VGA monitor or projector. Plug the adapter into the computer's DVI-I port, then run a standard VGA cable to the projector.

Will the adapter stay connected if the cable gets bumped?

The adapter has a molded connector with thumbscrews, so you can screw it firmly into the DVI port. That holds it in place better than a friction fit when a VGA cable pulls on it.
