Marcolosio: se funziona si merita 5 stelle

Pablo: Lo he utilizado durante unas 10 horas para conectar un MacBook a un proyector y funciona sin ningún problema. Plug & Play, lo enchufas y no es necesario configurar nada. De momento, todo correcto.
SI tuviese que poner alguna pega, el envoltorio en el que venía es de plástico y no ofrece mucha protección. También comentar que el material del que está hecho es plástico un poco malo, pero si lo tratas con cuidado supongo que no debería dar problemas.

Wes: It's been nearly three years, and I used it for approximately 20 ~ 30 times. In other time, it sits in a box. Now, it no longer works reliably. I have to position the cable part in a certain way, or the VGA signal gets lost. Something is nearly broken or disconnected inside. Its warranty is one year only. I should've bought a more expensive dongle with a longer warranty.

EDIT: They kindly sent me a replacement, which appears to have an improved design. I would recommend this product now.

EDIT2: The new design still holds up well.

Ilenia: Ero un po' scettica prima di acquistare questo prodotto, ma leggendo le recensioni mi sono convinta. L'ho preso per il mio Surface Pro e funziona molto bene. Spedizione super veloce!

Val & Mel: J'ai acheté ce câble en 2014, il fonctionne encore très bien aujourd'hui.
Je l'utilise principalement avec mon ordinateur Asus qui possède un mini display port.
Il est également compatible avec les produits Apple comportant cette connectique. (Thunderbolt)

Ce câble est bien pratique et permet brancher votre écran VGA sur un ordinateur qui n'en dispose pas, ou encore sur un carte graphique.
Attention, ce câble ne transporte pas de signaux sonores contrairement aux cables HDMI ou Diplayport, en effet, le VGA supporte uniquement l'image.

Je recommande ce produit qui ne montre pas de signe de faiblesse et à prix très correct.

Robert G. Brown: 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.

Flamboyant Pepe: Worked good for 5 months and then stopped working suddenly. I plug in the cable, it works for a few seconds, then the slightest movement makes it disconnected. I didn't bend it, I haven't used it very harshly whatsoever. I always paid attention when carrying it around or using it with different screens and always kept it in good condition. It still looks like new from outside but I guess the cables inside were cheap; they broke after 5 months.

UPDATE on 9/14/14: Seller contacted me after my original review to send a replacement. They sent a new adapter and it works fine. Good customer support.

Matt: Bought this to hook up my ultra book to the projectors at work. The first time I hooked it up the screen flickered and the color was off, second time everything worked fine and has been working fine for over 2 dozen training sessions. It displays 1920x1080 resolution as well (it can probably go higher but this is the max resolution of my monitors). The quality is very good, the cable isn't flimsy and the connectors are molded well. I didn't try too hard, but I wasn't able to screw in the VGA connector to this, not much of a big deal as its not a permanent installation for me.

Evan: 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...
