1401822	2015-06-02 02:41:00	Nope. DVI-D is Digital only Its not compatible with analog VGA. You can only use DVI digital on that port. Or buy an active converter www.amazon.com Easier to use a monitor that has DVI-D, or install a vid card . Im assuming you're trying to get dual monitors working?	1101 (13337)

Im assuming you're trying to get dual monitors working? Precisely, I'm trying to set up a dual monitors. It should be OK if I were to buy a DVI-D male to VGA female adapter, right?	bk T (215)

Had to install video cards into a bunch of brand new PC's to get this working with the monitors the customer had. DVI-D Cannot ever output anything to VGA . Never. Nada :-) You would have to buy an active converter, ie not the simple $10 adaptor DVI-D is digital only VGA is analog only DVI-I can do both "VGA is only compatible with DVI-A or DVI-I devices." Do you have a monitor with a DVI input ? Or an HDMI input ?	1101 (13337)

1401826	2015-06-02 04:25:00	www.aliexpress.com Yep, thats the one, an Active Adapter Holy cow thats a cheap price . Pricing on some stuff direct from China is just ridiculously cheap. Can take up to a month for delivery though, average 2-3 weeks for me so far from bangood. Some goods get sent on mass to Europe then sent to NZ(cheaper rates?), no wonder some free shipping takes so long.	1101 (13337)
