The picture shown does not represent the actual part shipped.I will simply echo the other reviewer's comment that the polarity of the screws are flipped - there is no way to mate this part to a DVI monitor and VGA cable or vice-versa.I actually took the trouble to send it back to Amazon clarifying what was the issue supported by appropriate drawings - guess what, I was sent back another of the same part.I am resentful that despite my effort to notify Amazon about the discrepancy and other reviewers feedback, Amazon continues carry on the oversight.
I almost purchased with confidence from Amazon, but I caught the reviews which sound unbelievable, but since there ae two reviews I wont waste my or Amazons time shipping this unusable adapter. Too bad it looked like the one to buy.
just like what the other review said.contrary to what the product picture shows, the female DVI end of it has the screws on the side of it that the male VGA end should have. and instead, the male VGA end has those nubs on the sides of it that the female DVI end should have had.there's no way you can get a male VGA with nubs on it, to connect to a female VGA with nubs on it too (and all female VGA's have nubs on it). The nubs hit each other when you try to put it in and stop you from connecting it.
Wanted to connect the DVI out from a video card to the VGA input of a monitor using a standard DVI cable, but this adapter did not work for that purpose. The plug configuration looked right- DVI female to VGA male- but the screws on both plugs are the opposite of what's expected/required. (The VGA plug won't sit in the socket because the screw sockets protrude).
