does the surface VGA Adapter work with Surface (not surface 2, just plain surface)?

The VGA adapter does work with the original MS Surface. Make sure that you have a separate VGA cable to connect it to your display device.

You have two différent connectors. One for surface and surface 2, the other one for surface pro and surface pro 2. This one is for surface and surface 2.

Yes. I tried it but you need to try it out with your projector first. Mine worked with certain projectors only.

I am sure it does.. just not the Surface Pro 2.. they changed the interface. Its call mini-port.

Note that there are two separate VGA adapters, one for the Surface RT/Surface 2 (Microsoft part # W7S-00001), the other is for the Surface Pro/Pro 2. (Microsoft part # F7U-00015). Descriptions tend not to be particularly clear on the above point so make sure that you're getting the adapter right for your model. They are _not_ interchangeable. The item to which you've posted this query is part # W7S-00001 for the Surface RT/Surface 2. Hope this helps. Cheers, Christopher

I bought it for my surface pro 1. If surface pro 2 has the same display port, then it should work. It actually automatically detects when you connect

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!)

This works for any device with a Mini DisplayPort output (common on Apple computers, MS Surface (my use), others...) converting that output to HDMI and connect using a standard HDMI cable to the display device. If it doesn't work, I'd request an exchange for a functional one or return as defective. Good luck!

I bought one yesterday, had one monitor in the DVI, one monitor running on the HDMI with the included HDMI/DVI adapter and the Surface Pro 2 monitor was also available. Just for kicks, I plugged an HMDI/Mini Display Port adapter into the port on the Surface Pro 2 and it also sent video to that screen. All said, I had 3 external monitors and the Surface display all running different things at the same time. All displays were at 1920 x 1080 resolution.

To connect your Surface to any video display that supports VGA. I commonly use it to connect to older projectors that may not have HDMI capability.

I bought a VGA converter from Microsoft, you will need it if you want to make it work, I had my 360 work with it just fine, but the screen starts blinking after 2 years I bought it.

You do have to install a driver, but the fact that you can't currently use VGA doesn't mean that you wouldn't be able to install a driver. I also have Windows Vista 32 bit and discovered after my laptop warranty expired that my VGA output wouldn't display well to TV, but the Sabrent worked fine to display to TV after installing their driver.

No. The Microsoft Surface RT 2 has a proprietary HD Digital Video output port which is NOT the same as a micro HDMI output port. I suggest you search Ebay for "Miccrsoft HB Digital Video Adapter" to get correct cable. Should cost around $10 or so.

I don't know. All I've used is the HDMI and USB, and have not had any issues at all. The other comment about the USB port being defective makes the most sense. I don't think VGA would deliver power -- I think that has to go through the USB connection.

Joseph: I am not to clear on all the technical details you describe. I do can tell you that I used this Startech HDMI2DP device to connect my MS Surface (HDMI out) to display video on my HP monitor (DisplayPort In) and it worked just perfect... with full resolution.

On Surface Pro-1 it works. I used this to connect mine to a monitor. It did not fit well but still worked.

You cannot use the cheap passive adapters for DVI to vga because the card has only DVI-I outputs. The expensive active adapters are required.
