Full details

This Lindy adapter cable is for users needing to connect a computer with a VGA output to a monitor or projector with a DVI-I analogue input. Its key benefit is enabling analogue signal conversion between these common ports. A caveat is that it specifically supports only the analogue portion of DVI-I, not digital signals. The cable is 0.2m long and grey, featuring a DVI-I female (analogue) connector and a VGA male (D-Sub) connector.

FAQs

Can this adapter connect a digital DVI signal to a VGA port?

No, this adapter is specifically for connecting an analogue VGA signal to the analogue portion of a DVI-I port. It cannot convert digital DVI signals to VGA.

What is the difference between DVI-I and DVI-D?

DVI-I (Integrated) ports can carry both analogue and digital signals. DVI-D (Digital) ports carry digital signals only. This adapter works with DVI-I because it utilizes the analogue signal capability.

Do I need any drivers for this adapter?

No, this is a passive adapter cable. No drivers are required. It simply facilitates a physical and electrical connection for analogue signals.

What type of DVI cable do I need to use with this adapter?

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

Is this adapter suitable for high-resolution gaming?

This adapter is designed for analogue signal transmission and may not be suitable for high-resolution gaming or professional graphics applications that require pure digital signals for optimal clarity and performance.

What is the warranty period for this Lindy adapter?

Please refer to Lindy's official product documentation or retailer for specific warranty information, as it can vary.

Troubleshooting

No video signal after connecting the adapter.

Ensure the VGA port on the source and the DVI-I input on the display are set to accept analogue signals. Verify that the DVI-I input on the display is indeed DVI-I (analogue capable) and not DVI-D (digital only). Check that all cable connections are secure and that the DVI-I male-to-male cable is functioning correctly.

Flickering or distorted image.

Check for loose connections at all points. Ensure the adapter and cables are not damaged. Try a different DVI-I male-to-male cable. Verify the resolution and refresh rate settings on your computer are compatible with the display.

Adapter not recognized by the system.

This is a passive adapter and does not require system recognition. If no signal is present, refer to the 'No video signal' troubleshooting step. Ensure the DVI-I input on the display is configured correctly.
