BENFEI DisplayPort to DVI, Gold-Plated DP to DVI Adapter (Male to Female) Compatible for Lenovo, Dell, HP and Other Brand

I bought two of these and they have both served me well!

These allowed me to use some Gateway 1900x1200 computer monitors (purchased many years ago) with a recently purchased Win 11 computer (and later converted to Linux Mint woo-hoo). Saved me a bunch of money avoiding having to purchase new monitors.

Plug and play works as advertised in compatibility, fit, and connectivity. The black finish gives it a nice appearance with a sturdy material.

I bought this to extend the display of my Dell Precision 4800 (with dock) to a 3rd display. The build is solid, the connections fit well, and it worked as expected. I was not able to use it for my intended purpose though because I realized late that I needed an "active" DP-to-DVI adapter to extend to a 3rd display and this model is a "Passive" adapter. I still rate it as 5 stars and I use it for when I need to display my screen to a projector. If you need an active adapter, I bought the Cable Matters Gold Plated Active DisplayPort to DVI Male to Female Adapter - Eyefinity Compatible My reviews are my opinions of the product received and just my opinion. Everyone is different and could have a different opinion of a product. I do not receive any monetary payment for my reviews, and I always keep them honest. So no need to worry whether or not my review is genuine, because it is. Also if you found this review helpful marking it as so would be greatly appreciated thanks!

Connected the display port of this adapter it to the Display port output of my new Lenovo Gen 3 Workstation Docking Station linked to my new Thinkpad P53 laptop running Windows 10. Then connected the female DVD-D connector of this adapter to my old reliable DVD-D to DVD-D cable which goes to my old reliable Dell 24 inch monitor. Before I purchased this adapter my DVD-D to DVD-D cable was connected to a Thinkpad W520 laptop which has worked flawlessly for years. I wanted a simple solution to continue working without re-cabling, re-calibration, re-signal matching, and re-purchasing new cable. I was skeptical. But it works, and perfectly. I simply inserted the adapter into my video cable chain with both monitor and computer off, fired up my computer and have the same HD video signal I had on my old Thinkpad system. Didn't need to make any adjustments to the monitor or the computer. Everything just worked. Saved me the hassle of buying new cable and rerunning it behind the desk and up to the monitor. Then having to match new signal. Highly impressed with this adapter for my particular needs. If you need something similar, stop reading now and purchase this adapter.

I was a little skeptical about this adapter because of the relatively low price and a few reviews that said they got defective units. Nevertheless, it works perfectly. One of my monitors had gone out and I ultimately traced the problem to a defective adapter. Plug this one in. The monitor immediately came to life. Full resolution. Excellent picture quality. And it appears to be sturdily made. One reviewer gave it one star because he said it "jammed" in the port on his computer. It's important to understand that these are locking connectors. One side of the male connector has a ripped tab. In order to remove the connector you have to press in that tab in order to release it. It's very easy to miss this fact if you're not familiar with this type of connector. It is really basically impossible to get stuck. This is really a good value for the money.

I have a friend with an old Dell mini-tower PC, and two monitors with DVI connectors. He recently had the PC repaired, and the OEM dual/split channel video card was replaced with a programmable VGU card which required two DVI to HDMI converter cables, and it works very well. Guess it shows that if you are happy with your old computer and it does what you want, there is no need to spend money on a new one. Walmart, Home Depot, and Best Buy no longer carry this item, so was very happy to get two of them at a very good price on Amazon.

Not much to say, it's been working for about 5 months at this point. Only weird thing is (and I don't know if it's because of it or just because it's an adapter in general), when turning the monitor on, it seems to be redetecting it in Windows, and it makes the sound like something was unplugged and plugged back in, and my other screen turns black for a couple seconds and comes back on. It's not really an issue though, but I don't remember the one I had previously doing that (but this one has a better shape with the short cord, so it's flexible and less likely to bend or break from tight spaces or gravity, like my previous adapter that was just one solid piece did.)

Works out of the box!

Kvalitétskänslan finns där men fungerade inte för mig, får ingen bild av någon anledning när jag kopplade från datorns grafikkort DP uttag till skärmens DVI men den syns i NVIDIAs kontrollpanel.... väldigt märkligt vet ju att det är INTE är en dubbelriktad omvandlare och kan inte överföra signaler från DVI till DisplayPort... frågan är då är min gamla Benq monitor i behov av dubbelriktig omvandlare om nu sådant finns, önskar man kunde få kommentarer/svar här på frågan om de hela.

Buen complemento para adaptar distintos equipos

Funciona perfectamente desde el primer momento. Lo uso para conectar un segundo monitor con entrada DVI y la imagen se ve nítida, sin cortes ni parpadeos. El conector es firme y los materiales se sienten de buena calidad. Muy recomendable si necesitas pasar de DisplayPort a DVI sin complicaciones.
