Plugable Mini DisplayPort (Thunderbolt 2) - Review

Plugable Mini DisplayPort (Thunderbolt 2) to VGA Adapter (Supports Mac, Windows, Linux Systems and Displays up to 1920x1080, Active) - Driverless

As technology advances, newer laptops and computers tend to be stripped of older ports, which can be frustrating for those who still rely on them. One port that has become increasingly rare is the VGA port, which is where the Plugable Mini DisplayPort (Thunderbolt 2) to VGA Adapter steps in. This handy adapter allows users to connect their laptops or desktops to a VGA monitor, expanding their display options without needing to upgrade to a newer screen.

The Plugable Mini DisplayPort (Thunderbolt 2) to VGA Adapter is a driverless, plug and play device that connects to your computer's mini DisplayPort (Thunderbolt 2) output, and then to a VGA monitor. The adapter is compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems, making it a versatile option for office or home setups. Additionally, the adapter supports VGA displays up to 1920x1200 resolution, including 1920x1080 resolution (1080P) at a refresh rate of 60Hz.

Simple installation is the name of the game with this adapter; just plug it in and start using it. There is no need to install any software or drivers, saving you time and frustration. However, it is important to note that the graphics processor of your host system and the connected VGA display need to support the desired resolution, or the adapter will not function properly.

It is also worth noting that this Plugable adapter is a passive adapter, meaning it is designed for use with Thunderbolt 2 or Mini DisplayPort output ports only — this adapter is not bidirectional, so it cannot convert VGA output to mini DisplayPort. However, for those looking to connect their newer laptops or desktops to an older VGA monitor, the Plugable Mini DisplayPort (Thunderbolt 2) to VGA Adapter is the perfect solution.

As an added bonus, this adapter comes with Plugable's outstanding 2-year limited parts and labor warranty, as well as email support from their Seattle-based customer service team. With the peace of mind of a great warranty and support team, you can feel good about investing in your setup's compatibility.

Overall, the Plugable Mini DisplayPort (Thunderbolt 2) to VGA Adapter is a reliable solution for those looking to extend the life of their existing VGA monitors, as well as those who need to connect to a VGA display for work or study. The simple installation, compatibility with multiple operating systems, and support for multiple resolutions make it a versatile option that should suit most users’ needs.
