DVI to a VGA Monitor

One of today’s questions at CableWholesale was: “I need to connect DVI from my computer to my VGA monitor. How do I do that?”

There are a few steps involved when connecting a DVI cable from a computer to a monitor. First, you need to look underneath the monitor where the VGA port is located. Most monitors will have a DVI port underneath the monitor as well. You will need an DVI-A to VGA adapter to convert the video signal from DVI to VGA. If your video card is DVI-I, you can use this adapter to convert to VGA. Once the signal has been changed, the monitor should connect to the computer.
If your video card has a connector like the picture below, this will be compatible.
