Product Information

Full details

This Lindy adapter cable is designed for users needing to connect a computer with a VGA output to a display featuring a DVI-I analogue input. It offers a straightforward way to extend analogue video connections, making it ideal for situations where a direct connection isn't possible or when leveraging existing DVI-I ports for VGA signals. A key benefit is its ability to utilize the analogue capabilities of DVI-I interfaces, but it's important to note this adapter does not convert VGA analogue signals to DVI digital signals.

FAQs

Can this adapter convert VGA to digital DVI?

No, this adapter is designed specifically for analogue signal transmission. It passes the analogue VGA signal through the analogue pins of a DVI-I connector. It does not perform any digital conversion.

What type of DVI connection does this adapter support?

The adapter has a DVI-I Female connector, which mates to the analogue pins of a DVI-I interface. It is compatible with DVI-I ports that accept analogue input. It will not work with DVI-D (digital only) connections.

Do I need any drivers for this adapter?

No, this is a passive adapter cable. It does not require any software drivers. It relies on the native video output of your computer and the input capabilities of your display.

What other cables do I need to use this adapter?

You will need a standard DVI-I Male to Male cable to connect from the adapter's DVI-I female port to your display's DVI-I input.

What is the warranty period for this adapter?

This adapter comes with a 10 Year Warranty from the date of purchase.

Can I use this with a DVI-D (digital) port?

No, this adapter is for DVI-I analogue connections only. It will not function with DVI-D (digital only) ports.

Troubleshooting

No video signal on the display

Ensure the VGA cable is securely connected to the computer and the adapter. Verify that the DVI-I cable is securely connected to the adapter and the display. Confirm that the display is set to the correct input source (DVI-I analogue) and that the DVI-I port on the display supports analogue input. Check if the computer's display settings are configured correctly.

Flickering or distorted image

Check for loose connections. Try a different DVI-I Male to Male cable. Ensure the VGA port on the computer is functioning correctly. Verify that the display's DVI-I input is functioning properly and set to analogue mode if applicable.

Display is detected but shows no image

Confirm that the DVI-I port on your monitor or projector is indeed a DVI-I port that accepts analogue signals. Some DVI-I ports are digital-only or configured differently. Test the computer's VGA output with a different VGA-only monitor to rule out computer issues.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Connect the VGA (D-Sub 15-way HD Male) end of the adapter cable to the VGA output port on your computer.
  2. Connect a DVI-I Male to Male cable to the DVI-I Female (Analogue) end of the adapter cable.
  3. Connect the other end of the DVI-I Male to Male cable to the DVI-I input port on your monitor or projector.
  4. Ensure all connections are secure.
  5. Power on your computer and display. The display should now show the computer's output.

Compatibility:

  • Computer Output: VGA (Analogue)
  • Display Input: DVI-I (specifically, the analogue pins within the DVI-I connector).
  • Important Note: This adapter does NOT support digital DVI signals nor does it convert analogue VGA to digital DVI. It relies on the DVI-I port's ability to accept analogue input.
  • Operating Systems: Compatible with all operating systems that support VGA output.

Care:

  • Keep the adapter in a dry environment.
  • Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight.
  • Clean connectors gently with a dry, lint-free cloth if necessary.
