What this adapter does
This Monoprice 2396 adapter connects a graphics card that has a DVI-A or DVI-I dual-link male port to a monitor that only accepts a VGA input. It carries the analog portion of the DVI signal through to a standard HD15 female connector so older displays can be used without a digital-to-analog converter. The gold-plated contacts help maintain a clean connection over time.
Who it suits and who it does not
Builders with a DVI-A or DVI-I output on their card and a VGA-only screen will find this a simple, passive solution. It will not work for anyone trying to convert a pure DVI-D digital signal to analog VGA, so buyers who need that conversion should look for an active converter instead.
Behaviour under sustained use
Because the adapter is completely passive it adds no latency and draws no power, so signal quality stays consistent during long sessions. The gold-plated terminals resist oxidation, keeping the analog video path stable even when the cable runs warm inside a closed case.

Questions about this item
Will this DVI-A dual-link male connector fit the DVI-I port on my graphics card?
Yes, the DVI-A dual-link male end mates with DVI-I ports because DVI-I carries the analog pins this adapter needs.
Can I keep using my existing VGA monitor with this adapter?
The HD15 female side accepts a standard VGA cable, so your current analog monitor works without change.
How do I confirm the adapter is passing a signal after I connect it?
Your monitor should display an image at its native resolution; if the screen stays dark, the source may be DVI-D only, which this adapter cannot convert.
