I have an older compluter with a VGA port & not worried about HD on this box, will a VGA to DMI-D adapter work?

I was hesitant to answer because I'm not sure. I tried to convert the DVI to HDMI for a laptop to be on my 4 port switch and had a hell of a time finding an adapter to work. I'd research the adapters and find one that says they did that sucessfully... that would be your answer.

The box supports carrying a VGA signal over DVI, but the bundled cables are probably DVI-D (digital only). To make your setup work, you would have to separately buy DVI-I (integrated digital & analog) cables and the DVI to VGA adapter.

Not tried that so I'm not sure but you may want to consider using the VGA version of this switch instead then unless you have a mix of computers.

yes it will however you have to make sure the adapter works. Bought one from fry's electronix and it didn't work.Cheers,Thommi

I just got my converter today and it is not working! I have an ASUS laptop with HDMI out and I am trying to connect it to my older VGA monitor.

I feel pretty confident that it will. The only thing I'm not sure about is the DP to DVI-D adaptor, but I can't see why it wouldn't work.I'm running a 1920x1080 Dell monitor, a 720p tv, AND this monitor with a Radeon 6870 (900MHz, 1GB), and I play games on the Crossover at full res. Gaming on it is a little bit slower, but I'm not sure if that's a decreased frame-rate due to all those pixels it's working with or if it's just the slower refresh rate because it's an IPS. I got used to it, though.Hope this helps.

This box outputs with DVI, not HDMI. I didn't have any luck trying to use DVI to HDMI adaptors. It could have been my monitors though.

It is not DVI compatible without adding adapters. If you by three VGA to DVI adapters it should work.

The VGA I had it hooked up to for a day or so seemed fine, but I did not play any games on it. You can pick up a VGA to HDMI cable conversion for $8. Not sure if that would alleviate any potential issues.

Yes, It work just fine. Bought a updated video card for a ten year old Dell Dimension 4600. The new video card had both VGA and DVI outputs. Now I'm research new updated motherboards for modern processors. They only have DVI and HDMI. It works just fine.

They are all standard connections.. Blue VGA, White DVI or DMS, You can let me know which one you have though so I can put the correct Adapter in for free

Possibly in generic VGA mode, and don't expect gaming to work well. Finding drivers for something this old will be a challenge. I'd spend a few extra dollars and get something closer to current technology to ensure drivers are available.

VGA is analog. HDMI is digital. So, no. You would need a converter between.

Edited answer: Monitor is VGA, no this will not work. HDMI and DVI are both digital signals. VGA is analog. DVI carries additional VGA pins that can be adapted to VGA, but those pins to not exist in a VGA header. You need a specialty adapter or a DVI/HDMI capable monitor for this to work.

No, According to what I found out the HDMI output from the laptop is digital and VGA is analog. Need a converter.

My documentation shows that it only have a VGA and DVI input, if you have a HDMI to DVI adapter or cable you can try that way.

I am not 100% sure. You may or may not need a digital coverter because HDMI is a digital signal and VGA is an analog signal.
