Customer Feedback

"Works as specified, most of the time. Very strange, but will not work with the new Surface Pro 4 docking station. It does work with the Surface Pro 4 connecting directly to the DisplayPort on the actual tablet. Tested it on two separate docking stations. On the other hand, the "Cable Matters® Mini DisplayPort to HDMI/DVI/VGA Male to Female 3-in-1 Adapter" does work on the docking station."

"It does exactly what it says it will do. It allows you to connect your device that decided they didn't need a VGA port for every single solitary projector in every single school, church, or convention center.

Why would we want the port for the equipment that we have when we can have a port for equipment we don't have? Oh, so we have to buy an adapter. Got it.

The adapter works great with my Mid-2010 Macbook Pro. It does exactly what it is supposed to do.

Pro: Reasonably priced solution to the absence of a really necessary port on full-sized laptops.

Con: The threading for the screws is set into the trim a bit. For more VGA cables this isn't an issue (and most of the time actually screwing it down isn't completely necessary) but if your VGA cable has short screws, it won't screw into the threads. Not a big deal, but it would be nice if I could make this a bit tougher.

If you need it, get it."

"Several years ago, I bought the same or a similar VGA connector from STC-Cable. The only reason I ordered this one is because I lost the other one a couple of weeks ago. The old one worked perfectly through constant use and abuse, and so far this one is performing the same."

"I recently purchased the AMD Radeon 7850 to do some casual gaming and was notably intrigued by the AMD Eyefinity software, which can span a game across 3 or more monitors. So I bought two older monitors off of eBay for cheap that were the same size and resolution of my current one. Since the graphics card had only one DVI port to use the included DVI-VGA adapter, I had to utilize the two Mini DisplayPorts. I was not hesitant to try out this adapter when it had the best reviews and most other Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapters were almost the same price as the monitors themselves! I was not disappointed.

When first taking these adapters out of their packages, I inspected the build quality and was quite pleased. The cable connections and port felt quite sturdy, and although it does not matter so much to me since it's not going to move much from the back of my desktop, this is something a laptop user would look for. Hook-up was easy since the Mini DisplayPort slipped in nicely and locked tightly in place, while the VGA end slipped on with ease and the screws fit in perfectly. The computer immediately recognized the new monitors and I was able to begin working with them immediately. Setup could not have been easier.

I immediately started the AMD Eyefinity software and that was all that was needed to begin gaming across all three monitors. 4032x1024 resolution looks spectacular and these adapters work perfectly for this use. Many people have complained about off-brand adapters not delivering the best quality or have problems with the video output or even getting the monitors to recognize in the first place. That was not the case with these two. I am pleased overall with the convenience, quality, and durability of these Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapters. If I ever need computer cables or adapters again, Cable Matters will be the first place I look."

"It's a good product. My complaint lies mostly with the design of the Surface Pro 3, which I use this with. The Mini DisplayPort on the Surface is at the very top, and this cord, once plugged in sort of dangles and is dragged down by the adapter portion;. This makes the connection pretty fussy. Don't move around much (or any) when you use this. Have a Surface? Spring for a longer cord. This works great, it's just finicky."
