VGA to DVI-D Coverter Converts Analog Video Signals to Digital Video Signals
VGA to DVI-D Coverter Converts Analog Video Signals to Digital Video Signals
Another item available in the category of video converters is the VGA to DVI-D Converter. This device is capable of connecting your VGA video source to digital DVI monitors or projectors. By converting the hosts’ analog VGA signal to a DVI-D signal, it allows the digital display device to be connected seamlessly. Supporting video resolutions up to 1600×1200, this conversion device is compatible with single link DVI, UXGA, SXGA, XGA, SVGA and VGA.
Its key features include easy installation, requirement of no special tools or software for immediate operation and output picture adjustment of brightness, contrast, color, RGB level and H-V position. By converting VGA to DVI-D signals, it has enabled users to connect computers equipped with HD-15 video connections, to the new DVI (digital visual interface) video display format. Working methodology follows simple plug and play functionalities. By connecting the VGA cable to the input side of the converter and then connecting the DVI monitor or projector to the DVI output, signal conversion between analog to digital is made possible. It automatically detects the input resolution while the output resolution and refresh rate can be selected through the On Screen Display menu and front panel push buttons.
The VGA to DVI-D Converter box has a VGA 15 Pin HD female input connector along with a DVI-D Single Link or VGA 15 Pin HD female output connector. The other type of Video Converter mostly used is DVI-D to VGA Converter. It also has an in built auto detect feature which helps in detecting the VGA resolution coming from the PC to the DVI-D video monitor. Regulatory approvals from FCC and CE have also been given to this device. It is designed in a manner so that it has two outputs, one to connect a DVI-D monitor and one to connector a VGA monitor to a computer with VGA output. An ideal product for applications where traditional analog video graphic cards need to be connected to DVI compliant digital monitors, it ensures that the connection between the VGA to DVI-D output works.

if you own a computer and want to get the most out of it or your using it for video editing or gaming, you may have bought a new graphics card and you may notice along side the blue VGA or d-sub socket (the one you plug your monitor into) there may be a longer white (sometimes yellow, black, and even gray) socket, it may be labeled DVI (digital video interface). most monitors are coming with this type of connection now and you may think great ill go out and buy a DVI cable and make use of that socket, but you know theirs loads of different types of DVI cable, and if you don’t know you may buy the wrong one get home and find it doesn’t fit, AHHH, NOW WHAT… This video will hopefully prevent this annoying but VERY common situation. This is a video showing you 5 different types of DVI cable what they do and more importantly how they are different. More info coming soon…

im pretty sure dual link cables are for ultra high res screens(2560×1600), not two screens. i don’t even think dvi supports daisy chaining because the graphics card needs a special chip for each monitor its connected too, and most if not all have just two(displayport doesn’t need this chip, so thats why you see graphics cards with 5 or 6 PD connectors). Just FYI, hdmi is just a miniaturized dvi-d connector with audio. HERES A TIP GUYS, if your ever in doubt, use a DVI-D cable.

That was excellent!!

@sinhalaboy thats ok even i get confuses some times.
yes you can plug dvi-d in dvi-i,so your monitor has dvi-d socket and your graphics card has a dvi-i socket so you will want to get a dvi-d cable (if it doesn’t include one as some do) plug one it into your dvi-d socket on your monitor and other end into your cards dvi-i socket that will work. if you have a display port that great threes a big range of card coming out now with display ports and there quite cheap.
hope this helped.
nice one!!!

Thanks man, but sorry I’m still lost lol. I’m going to buy a UltraSharp Dell monitor it says under the connectivity; Digital Visual Interface – Digital (DVI-D)
Does this mean I can plug it into a GPU with a DVI-I?
On the bright side this Dell monitor comes with a DisplayPort cable I just need to find a GPU with a DP-port then.
But still good video

@viperfrank just the answer i was looking for….. but you know i have another problem my benq g2420hdbl when boot up always shows the annoying Input D-Sub…… i heard its because im using an adapter vga to dvi-i in my graphics card…. if i use a dvi-d(from my flat screen) to dvi-i(graphics card) will that annoying pop up disappear always?… because i heard from chris pirillo video in youtube, it takes time for the info to be transmitted(it has to be converted).. so this maybe the problem…

We need a universal one adapter for everything. Like usb is for many devices. We need just one for computers. it used to be VGA till all this gay shit came out. Now they need to put all of them together for a super port
August 2nd, 2010 at 2:15 pm
thanks…. about time some 1 helped me out
some wanker sold me DVI-I saying it was DVI-D (SCUM)
……… oh and cool wall lol

hey thanks much James, that was a very good explanation. saved a lot of time. I was scratching my head about this new graphics card, will receive it today, I just bought and it said it has a DVI-I slot (did not notice until after I saw the video that it is actually a DIV-I dual link) and I know for sure my monitor is having a DVI-D slot. So I think I will be good to go if I just connect that cable to the DVI-I dual link slot on the GPU

hey i have a single dvi-i port (dual link) but i cant find a cable to plug into my computer then the first moniter then into the second moniter on the same wire :S help me please! or could you do a tutorial on how to link 2 moniters up to a dvi-i dual link??
