UGREEN 10437 Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter, 1080p

Overview

The UGREEN 10437 connects a laptop with a Mini DisplayPort or Thunderbolt 1 or 2 port to an older VGA monitor or projector, for presentations and second screens at up to 1080p. It is an active adapter: an RTD2166 chipset converts the digital signal to analogue VGA, with no driver to install.

Is it right for you?

• Suits a laptop with a Mini DisplayPort or Thunderbolt 1 or 2 port and a meeting room or classroom where the projector or monitor only has VGA.
• One direction only: Mini DisplayPort source to VGA display. It cannot connect a VGA computer to a Mini DisplayPort monitor.
• Not for USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 ports, which are a different shape.
• No audio: VGA carries video only and the adapter has no 3.5 mm output, so sound needs its own route.

Key features

• Video up to 1080p. The actual analogue timing depends on the source, chipset, VGA cable and display.
• Active digital-to-analogue conversion using an RTD2166 chipset.
• Plug and play, with no software on the adapter.
• Mirror or extended desktop, where the computer supports those modes.
• ABS housing, 40 g.

What else you need

A VGA cable from the adapter to the monitor or projector; the box does not include one. For sound, use the laptop’s speakers or a separate audio connection.
