This thing just flat out doesn't work. I've tried it with multiple cables and multiple computers (Mac and PC) and it doesn't work. If you didn't get the hint from all the other reviews, DO NOT BUY THIS.
I bought this adapter to connect my laptop to an Apple Cinema Display monitor. I was pleased by the quickness of the delivery, but when I tried to use the adapter, the computer didn't even register that I had plugged anything in. I don't know what purpose this adapter would have, but it didn't seem to match my need. I returned it quickly.
I tried using this on another laptop that I own and again nothing, I thought it might just be the connection so I just went from DVI to my tv using my other laptop and that worked fine. I purchased this item thinking that I could go from vga to dvi since my home tv does not support a VGA input. Well I got nothing, well not to really say nothing but all I heard was a beep like it was trying to work, but then nothing. I for some reason can not get this device to change the signal at all. So like the other person posted this is a waste of money.-AkWingnut
Adapter worked right about of the box, came black, not blue, but color didnt matter. Works good for my ps3, I used a hdmi to dvi cable, and then this adapter which was dvi to vga since my lcd screen is vga only. Works like a charm and 1080p looks nice.
I bought this so I could use a DVI cable and hook my PC to my TV. I had been using a VGA cable with an adapter on my PC, but wanted to push my TV so it was flush with the entertainment center (the DVI to VGA cable prevented this as it was on the back of the PC) This cable would have been perfect if it had worked. I tried several DVI cables that I knew worked, and no signal at all. I am returning this to Amazon today.
