        The lack of nuts to secure the fixing is unfortunate

        When handling the cables of my computer, it is common for one cable to press lightly on another and when that other cable is the one connected to this adapter, since it has no particular hold it will unplug.

        Plug it in and it works

        You plug it in, and it works. It couldn't be easier.
        Be careful though, the cable connected to the VGA side cannot be locked with screws, so beware of disconnections.
        Depending on where this adapter will be plugged in, make sure you have ~7mm of free space on each side of the HDMI port (black shoulder).

        Works but ...

        The product works well (as far as I have used it) but there is no provision for screwing the VGA plug onto this adapter. So you have to be careful to put it down so that it doesn't get unplugged by accident.

        Very good

        I equipped my office PC with a graphics card.
        This adapter has allowed me to keep my old VGA monitor (Flatron L1718S) for the time being without any problems.


        The 1280*1024 resolution is very good.

        Impeccable but...

        This signal converter does its job without any problems.

        But you should know that you will not be able to access the BIOS/UEFI of your PC if you only have one available VGA monitor connected through it to the PC.

        The problem gets worse if you have to reinstall the OS or manage partition images with Live CDs such as Acronis True Image (based on WinPE) which do not recognise this adapter.

        All this with an MSI Z370 PC PRO motherboard

        Works well

        This adapter does its job and it is compact but I used it to adapt one of my 2 screens to a graphics card, the adapter works as expected but I had to cut the dvi cable of the other screen to make it less wide so I could put the adapter on the graphics card

        Almost perfect

        This adapter is really compact, solid and very efficient. The resolutions 1280*768 and 1920*1080 are easily passed.

        The only (small) criticism is that the VGA cable cannot be screwed onto the adapter. Even though it fits rather well, this would have been more reassuring.

        ICY BOX IB-AC516

        Used with a raspberry pi 2b to connect a vga display to the raspberry's hdmi socket.

        The whole thing works perfectly, no problem of compatibility or screen resolution.

        I've been using it for a while now and it's a great product.

        Niquel

        Works perfectly well with my SyncMaster 920N VGA monitor, without any configuration (I just turned the monitor off and on again because I had a black screen), just missing the screw threads to screw the VGA connector.

        Perfect

        Works perfectly to connect ASUS K501 and ACER laptops to LG extra screens. The only regret is the absence of a screw thread to attach the dongle to the cable. Solution found to make up for this lack = three turns of blue tape!

        Works perfectly

        It works perfectly, mounted for my part on a Raspberry Pi 2 (under Raspbian as OS) for the display on lcd screen. It's great when it works well !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
