DVI to VGA Adapter Connector 24+5

Description

DVI to VGA

Main Features:
1. This adapter provides people who want to use the dual monitors for their working/gaming environment.
2. If you display card has two output port, one VGA and one, then, you can simply attach the adapter to the connector from your video card and convert it to VGA connector for setting up dual monitors / projectors.
3. Connect any VGA monitor with HD15 male connector to any computer with DVI-I port (24 + 5 pins)

The DVI-to-VGA adapter can either be a cable or a small device (shown above). It allows a display device with a VGA connector (input) to receive an analog signal from either a DVI-A (analog only) or DVI-I (analog and digital) connector attached to a computer’s GPU. The converters are inexpensive and can be found occasional packaged with video cards or at many online retailers for around $5.

There’s also the much less common scenario where a GPU on an older computer needs to send its signal to a newer display device with no VGA connector. In this case, a VGA-to-DVI converter is required to create a digital representation of the analog signal. These devices are harder to locate and often cost upwards for $100. If you find yourself in this situation, we recommend upgrading your video card or buying a new computer.

Signal quality considerations

Please note that moving between these two technologies may cause you to experience a loss of video quality. VGA, even in its highest resolution from SVGA, is only capable of an 800 x 600-pixel resolution. Therefore, if your computer is sending out a higher resolution DVI signal, it will be restricted by the lower resolution of VGA. Additionally, analog VGA signals are susceptible to a loss of quality based on how the cable was made.
