About this deal

DisplayPort to VGA converter: This type of converter allows you to connect a DisplayPort-equipped device to a VGA display. Read the instructions that come with your converter. This will help you to ensure that you are using the converter correctly. On the monitor side however, it sounds like the monitor itself may be pure digital. My guess is that DVI-D to Display port with work, HDMI to Display Port, and obviously Display port to Display port because they're all digital. There are a variety of different DisplayPort converters available, each with its own unique features and capabilities. Some DisplayPort converters are simple adapters, while others include additional features such as active conversion, audio support, and multiple outputs.

The Radeon software should alert you to the problem with an error message, but this is easy to miss when it pops up. Open the Radeon software and have a look at the notifications. The message will be: If the goods are incomplete or there is a shortfall you notify us within 3 days of receiving the goodsOnly certain DVI pinouts allow for analog signal conversion with a pin change. Example, a DVI-D doesn't pass through analog signals, it's digital only. Look at the port diagram, you need pins C1-C4 for the analog signal, without those, you've got nothing but a digital signal. Make sure to choose the right converter for your needs. Consider the type of input on your display, the resolution and refresh rate you want to support, the audio support you need, and the number of outputs you need.

The type of input on your display: Make sure to choose a converter that is compatible with the type of input on your display. DisplayPort to HDMI converter: This is the most common type of DisplayPort converter. It allows you to connect a DisplayPort-equipped device to an HDMI display. While you can go from a displayport to VGA monitor with a basic adapter(displayport provides power, where VGA doesn't) , I don't believe it's possible (and the your link mentions) that its not possible to go from VGA to DisplayPort, what's powering the conversion of the signal? The first clue to a DisplayPort link failure will probably be your monitor switching to low resolution. This mainly affects AMD GPUs and usually occurs after waking your computer and monitor from sleep.

Thunderbolt 3

This converter is used to connect a device with a Mini DisplayPort to a VGA display or monitor, enabling video output. For analog VGA/YPbPr and dual-link DVI, a powered active adapter is required for compatibility and does not rely on dual mode. Active VGA adapters are powered by the DisplayPort connector directly, while active dual-link DVI adapters typically rely on an external power source such as USB

Convenience: DisplayPort converters are easy to use. Simply connect the converter to your DisplayPort device and then connect the converter to your display. essjae That's not entirely true. VGA is an analog signal, but the DVI interface is a digital interface which was engineered in a way to be electrically identical to a properly functioning VGA signal, so only a pinout change is needed. (Isn't a true digital signal really just a square waveform?)In accordance with The Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 we would like to make you aware of the following important information: DisplayPort to USB-C converter: This type of converter allows you to connect a DisplayPort-equipped device to a display with a USB-C input. The system has detected a link failure and cannot set the requested resolution and refresh rate. Your display might not support the requested resolution or there may be an issue with the cable connecting the display to your computer." We recommend you return any goods via a postal/carriage service that requires a signature upon delivery. Display port to just about anything else on the computer side works because the computer is built to handle both the analog and digital output needed to make it happen, it's part of the standard.

If I remember correctly**, displayport actually can be run from VGA without an active adapter because displayport was based on DVI. Thankfully, most DisplayPort problems are relatively easy to avoid or fix. Here are four common DisplayPort problems, along with advice for diagnosing and solving them. Display Adapter Link Failure

Flexibility: DisplayPort converters allow you to connect a DisplayPort-equipped device to a display with a different type of input. This can be useful if you have a new laptop or computer with a DisplayPort output, but you have an older monitor or projector that only has HDMI, DVI, or VGA inputs.
