Is this an active adapter, or does it require that the graphics card support VGA on the display port?

I don't think it is an active adapter, but I am pretty sure all graphics cards can support VGA, its an old standard. (Note: I haven't used this adapter because I was suppose to buy a mini display port.. but picked up this one by accident.. I'd sell it to anyone for a good price if in the Toronto Area!)

There is a micro HDMI port on the left side of the laptop and the VGA adapter is $40. I had no problem hooking this up to an external monitor.

VGA and dvi are both present. Amazon shipped mine with the wrong power cord.

This simply adapts the mini display port output signal to a compatible VGA plug, the video drivers are doing the work inside the computer. It has no on-board video drivers.

No. This is a serial port adapter not VGA adapter. Serial ports are used for modems and console ports on routers and switches.

No, this adapter is not active. Just a hint: active adapters will run you ~$30+ on a good day.

I plugged it into my Dell Laptop using the supplied cable (this means yes to VGA) - no problem at all, great, bright display. That's what I wanted, I never counted the other ports, suggest you read the specs.

No vga port but if your pc has an hdmi port I'd highly recommend using a hdmi rather than a vga connection. Hdmi is as good as a vga connection

Hi, Yes you are correct, there are two displayport interfaces and one VGA.Thanks, PCrush

Hello, Good question but there is no VGA port. I imagine you are trying to connect a monitor to the laptop. I went to TIGER DIRECT and purchased a HDMI (laptop port) to a DIN (monitor port), and this was successful. Hope this helps!

this is only an adapter to change the connector type. it will support the max resolution of the computer's video card and the native resolution of the monitor without other limitations

This works and you'll need a true "active" converter NOT adapter. The monitor does not come with such adapter so you'll need to buy them separately. Buy it from me, I'll sell you both the monitor and active converter (you'll need to buy them separately). They're guaranteed to work with all GPUs maker from Intel to Nvidia to AMD. If interested, shoot me an email so I can setup a deal for you.

VGA to VGA is included. No other is necessary since there is only VGA input.

With the Right adapter yes. it has a digital out as well as the VGA, look on Directronics.

Well, what you are asking is whether it is VGA to DisplayPort. Answer is: No. It is DisplayPort to VGA adapter.

It requires one 6-pin connector from the power supply. Source: I own the product and it is my current graphics card.
