USB to VGA Adapter

So I bought this in the hopes that I would be able to connect a dual screen set up out of my laptop. My laptop only has one HDMI port so I needed another way of connecting a display. this did the trick perfectly, after installing the drivers from the device or the CD provided and quick restart of my system, it was up and running. works perfectly for what I need it for. the second screen won't be used for gaming but just to display information so the VGA quality isn't an issue. I plan on getting two matching monitors so this will work perfectly!

I bought this for a work laptop which only has one HDMI port for video, as I wanted to have two large monitors in addition to the laptop's own display. I've had it for a year and it seems to work fine. The monitor using the adapter has a clear picture, similar to the monitor using the HDMI port. It installed the drivers it needed directly off the device itself. No need for any downloads or a CD (which is good because the laptop doesn't have an optical drive). I would echo a point made by someone else that you might need to have admin rights on the computer - which I do - to install the drivers.

It works - but requires a driver. There is a mini-cd, but when plugged in, the driver shows as another hard disk in Windows (not sure about Mac, I guess it won't work on Linux?) If you are not an admin in Windows, don't bother getting this. Make sure it's plugged into a USB3 port. My laptop has two different USBs - 2 and 3. If you get a fixed 800x600 resolution, it's in the wrong port. (Also, make sure your USB hub is USB3 too!) You can only have one of these plugged in. If you plug in a second, the second one doesn't work. I guess they were lazy and programmed a single USBID number, so Windows doesn't know what to do with the second one. Not bad, refresh/update rate seems OK for office work, but I wouldn't go playing games on it.

Works with Windows 10, but you need to install the supplied drivers first. Also, to get full resolution, you need to use a USB 3 port. Using USB 2 limits your resolution drastically. I tried buying a second adapter the be able to have 2 external monitors, but 2 adaptors don’t seem to work (maybe it’s because they used the same USB controller chip inside my laptop) Otherwise, very happy with purchase.

Nothing wrong with this to be honest, I wanted it to add an extra monitor to my works pc however it required to install drivers before it would pick up the screen. They would be easy enough to install is it wasn't for my works super tight security that doesn't allow you to add such handy things like a monitor at your own expense. Good enough for the job, not suitable for my work unfortunately due to a problem my side!

I needed a second screen for my PC, but the cost of a new graphics card was an overkill for the office application I had in mind. I was a little wary of this as some reviews were not that good. However the drivers installed really easily and after a swift reboot the new screen was there and working perfectly. Not tried the display with videos etc, but works 100% perfectly with my office applications, and a lot cheaper than a new graphics card - and I didn't have to open my PC. Very happy - thank you.

Update: Still no contact from Benfei but noticed other reviewers talking about a driver download. My package didn't come with a disk or instructions, so I hadn't realised. I went on the Benfei website and it turns out the driver is not compatable with Chromebooks. With Chromebooks increasing in popularity, they really ought to make that explicitly clear in the description. Original review: I tried this adapter on three different laptops (2 chromebooks and 1 Windows laptop) and none of them would recognise the external monitor that it was connecting to. I then bought a different product which worked immediately, so this adapter is clearly faulty. Sadly, I bought it in advance of a birthday and by the time I tested it, I was 1 day past the 30 day return window - my fault for being too organised. Amazon will not help with a refund and the Benfei weblink which Amazon points me to doesn't work. I've left feedback with the seller so I'll see if they respond and accept a return - if they do, I'll update this review.

My laptop's VGA port went bad so I needed another way to connect it to a VGA monitor and this did the trick nicely. The laptop only has the conventional USB ports and no USB-C port so I felt I was running out of options as most docking stations with VGA ports used USB-C to connect to the laptop. Anyway, long story short, this nifty device came to my rescue and the video quality is good. I'm so pleased.

The item works perfectly! Just note you need to install the drivers from the cd (which is also included in the packaging) before the device works. takes less than a minute to install. No quality loss on the 2nd monitor, so you won't be disappointed.

買って４ヶ月程度快適に動作していましたが故障しました。 販売元へ連絡した所、保障期間内とのことで翌日に新品を発送してもらいました。 保障も延長して２年まで追加してもらいました。 安いけど買って損はないです。

This VGA Adapter works great and it was very easy to install the drivers. I'm so glad it worked as my old monitor. The only thing that doesn't work when this VGA adapter is plugged in and I'm using the big monitor to Skype, is the sound, the camera works fine but the sound is so distorted that they can't understand a word I'm saying. So I have to turn off my big monitor completely and use the laptop camera for Skype, then the sound comes out clear. At least the big monitor works for everything else, which makes it easier on my eyes.

Ha sido una buena experiencia, compré uno a la miad de precio y no funcionó bien, este ha funcionado muy bien!! Recomendable!!
