    Excellent adaptor

    I purchased a few old monitors for my new work station and need adaptors to plug into my think pad docking station. This worked perfectly and now I have 3 monitors to work from plugged into the docking station. This product is pretty inexpensive way to continue to use older monitors with VGA pins.

    Great Item!

    This works great and is a lot smaller and much more convenient than the other adapters I have had.

    Monitor-USB cable

    The wire works well connecting my old monitor to a laptop. Just a little low speed.
