StarTech.com DisplayPort to DVI Adapter - Active Conversion - 1920x1200 - DP to DVI Single Link Converter for DVI-D Display (DP2DVIS) , Black

I needed a way to connect an older DVI monitor to a newer workstation with only DisplayPort outputs, and the StarTech DP2DVIS adapter delivered exactly what I needed. It’s a true active converter, which means it works even with graphics cards that require active signal conversion—perfect for my multi-monitor setup using an AMD GPU.The build quality is solid, with a latching DisplayPort connector that clicks securely into place, and the DVI end supports screw-locking, so there’s no risk of accidental disconnection. I’m using it to drive a 1920x1200 display, and the image is sharp and stable with no flickering or signal drops.Setup was completely plug-and-play—no drivers, no fuss. It’s also compact enough to fit behind a monitor without adding cable clutter.✅ Pros:Active conversion supports a wide range of GPUs and monitorsCrisp resolution up to 1920x1200 @ 60HzLatching DP connector and screw-lock DVI for secure connectionsNo drivers or software neededWorks with Windows, macOS, and Linux⚠️ Cons:Slightly more expensive than passive adapters, but worth it for compatibilityShort cable length (15cm) may require an extension in some setups

I've been using this now for several weeks, and I've had none of the issues with intermittent connection that I was having from my Sapphire adapter. This item is plug & play and works like a dream.Why a Startech adapter should work better than the Sapphire item on a Sapphire graphics card (I'm using a Sapphire Radeon 6850HD), I have no idea, but it does. It's also on the AVI official supported adapters list.I now have my 3 screen Eyefinity setup working perfectly at last.Recommended.

Bought this in June 2015 for use in a multi monitor setup with a 980TI.Worked for the most part for a months without any issue, but then started experiencing an intermittent issue when booting the machine up where the monitor this adapter was used for didn't come on. Found that unplugging and replugging the adapter back into the graphics card seemed to fix the issue for the session, which I wasn't particularly happy with, but it was less effort than actually replacing it.Anyway, this morning I tried to start my machine up and the monitor didn't come on. Tried the steps above as per usual, but it wasn't coming on. Switched cables around so check that it wasn't the graphics card port, but it still didn't come on. Using the DVI connection for now, but I've ordered another Sapphire active dvi to displayport adapter (http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00433C5Y4/ref=pe_385721_37986871_TE_item), the adapter my other monitor uses, which I've had for over 4 years and has worked without issue. I'd recommend anyone else considering buying this product to do the same.

I've used this with two graphics cards now and it works perfectly with both.There are some things worth worrying about with a computer, overclocking, optimising, actually using it and that sort of stuff for example. But worrying about a simple monitor connection isn't one of them. This little gem just solves the problem, makes my third monitor work and I can go back to gaming/working without giving it another thought.I've used it with three different monitors and they all work perfectly, both when using EyeFinity and when using the standard 3 screen desktop arrangement. There just doesn't seem to be anything you need to worry about with this adapter, it's great.It helps that it's on the list of supported hardware and all that, but honestly, it just works so get it and forget it.

Well, as I said above, it works but make sure you use the correct DVI-D lead from this adapter to your monitor.Not a DVI-I lead (single) - make sure it has a complete 8x3 bank of pins and down the other end just a single blade.You might also find (depending on your mother board's power supply) that the length of the DVI-D lead has an effect.I used a 3 metre DVI-I lead to start with and got mad red striping and flickering - I changed to a 1.5m DVI-D lead and it works just fine now.

Quality looking product arriving in a small plastic bag. Plugged into the displayport connection and out to a dvi cable then on to the monitor. Bam, worked first go perfect picture. Only thing to watch out for is if you need to remove the cable, you have to squeeze the adapter a little to release it.If you have found this review helpful, please let me know by hitting the “helpful” button! or if you have any questions then feel free to ask :)

Bought a high end ATI graphics card with six ports to drive three monitors. Very disappointed when I found it could only drive two monitors at any given time. These "active" connectors fix the problem perfectly without the need for a clumsy interface box and USB power feed at a third of the price. Excellent build quality and connectors.

Used to allow all 3 of my monitors to run at once (using a AMD 6850 GPU). Plug and play, no nonsense. Will update if it breaks or stops working. Although it works £22 for this type of adapter is daylight robbery so I'm taking 1star away for that. 4****UPDATE 02/08/2013***Turned on PC today and no screen, bypass the adapter straight into the GPU and I get a signal (the adapter has broke ¬_¬). Sent it back for a refund, hopefully the next one will be more reliable but 5* to Amazon as always for the simple returns process and excellent customer service :)
