Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Will this adapter work with my specific brand of laptop and monitor?
A: Yes, this adapter is universally compatible. As long as your computer has a standard DisplayPort output and your display has a standard VGA input, it will work seamlessly regardless of the brand.

Q: Does this adapter transmit audio?
A: No. The VGA standard is for video signals only. To transmit audio, you will need to use your computer’s headphone jack or built-in speakers and a separate audio cable if required.

Q: Is this an “active” or “passive” adapter?
