Ryan W 76 Posted January 9, 2018 Abiel, those devices are SUPER finicky! I haven't used that one, but I've use the Startech devices and they were nothing but a headache! If you can't add an additional video card, but your machine support DisplayPort, you may be able to go the DisplayPort route instead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UncleB 2 Posted February 11, 2018 Hey Abiel, I too have that same brand that Paul S mentioned. Mine is a very similar model, but with DVI instead of VGA. I've used it for years with no problems. I actually have mine feeding a separate monitor off to the side that runs the BearBullTraders chat room all day! So I wouldn't be using it for that if I didn't trust it. Windows 10 has builtin drivers that detect it out of the box, all you need to do is plug it in. I can't speak for other operating systems or versions. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004AIJE9G Best of luck, Uncle B Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abiel 474 Posted April 29, 2018 Thank you guys... I´ll go with this adapter... it requires WDDM compatible graphics driver, seems that most modern Windows systems meet this requirement, just in case use dxdiag command (windows) to check compatibility: Abiel Guerra BBT Team [email protected] @abielguerra Find your answers in our Knowledge Base Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stuart 16 Posted June 9, 2018 Abiel, Mine failed after a week. Green power light not on. I checked cables and monitor ect and still not working. Returning for refund, but I see a lot of good feedback here. Is yours still working? Thanks! Stuart K Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Ryan, just reporting about these devices, after 3 years, I just retired 2 of them without an issue!
