 Does Exactly What I NeededAug 25, 2011
By Richard Palm
This splitter separates the analog and digital outputs of a video card that has both types of video on one connector. The analog signal goes to the VGA connector of the splitter, and the digital signal goes to the DVI-D connector.
This solves a problem I had with my LCD monitor, where I could not view the bootup sequence when I used the DVI input to the monitor, because the video card only puts out an analog signal during bootup. By using this splitter, and plugging both a VGA cable and a DVI cable into the monitor, I am able to view Windows in digital mode, and see the bootup sequence in analog mode.
(Note: it appears that I am not getting analog and digital modes simultaneously, but that is probably due to my video card switching from analog to digital mode when Windows finishes booting.)

Works great on Dell Studio HybridAug 25, 2011
By taverentech
I have a Dell Studio Hybrid that I wanted to have dual monitor support. Although it has both DVI and HDMI outputs, ONLY ONE can be active at one time. Through some research I found that you can use a DVI/VGA splitter on the DVI output. The cable dell sells for this is unavailable yet over $40.
This cable was under $10 with S&H and it works great. The 1 star review is invalid since this is not dual DVI splitter and thus not DVI-D, its standard DVI. In that context its fully functional, well made, and at a great price. This is the only option possible to use dual displays with Dell Studio Hybrid.
I was able to use this splitter with DVI output and get extended display across 22" Dell monitor on VGA and 50" Plasma on DVI with separate resolutions (so I can get full 1080p on plasma tv).

 Versatility is greatNov 29, 2009
By B. Blaylock
"Full of Life"
I purchased this cable to allow connectivity between my children's new Dell Hybrid PC and my ancient TV (that has s-video input and no High-def inputs). I plugged this up and am able to use both my screen and the VGA-to-S-video adapter without any difficulty. There are no drivers needed as it is plug and play.
My only qualms are with the description. This cable will connect to your existing cables running off of your screens. It is an extension of the existing plug on the back of your computer and does not plug into the back of you screen but into the cable itself. (female to female...if you will). So don't throw out those cables as you will still need them in order to utilize this cable.
 Doesn't work as expectedApr 27, 2012
By Airedad
I have 4 computers on an IOGEAR kvm switch. I had previously used the StarTech splitter cable (the 6' long one) and it had a problem with blocking the signal which let the monitor determine what the signal was and adjust appropriately (I later found discovered that one of the pins on the DVI-D ouput (monitor) side was not connected to any of the pins on the DVI-A (source) side, so I looked for a replacement.
I selected this splitter because reviews seemed to indicate that it would work correctly with my configuration.
When I first plugged it in, I had turned off the monitor - but all 4 computers were already up and running (previously I had used my KMV switch for the 3 DVI-D computers and had run a VGA cable directly to the monitor from my office laptop which is only VGA), and after installing it and connecting the 2 monitor cables to it, it seemed to work perfectly.
But I was wrong. As soon as I rebooted one of the coputers, its port's video output "disappeared," apparently because this splitter blocks the part of the signal which lets the computer figure out what the monitor is and adjust accordingly after I rebooted any computer (same results for VGA or DVI, with O/S Linux, Win7 or WinXP) - no video after a reboot. For that matter on the 2 linux boxes, if you exit Xwindows (my native mode is text, not graphics, and it's extremely useful for some things that way), you don't lose signal. HOWEVER, after you do that if you try to start Xwindows, the computer can't get the resolution info from the monitor and it puts you into 640x480 mode (default) rather than the 1920x1200 that I'm expecting.
I'll be returning it, and I can't really recommend it to anyone since from what I read versus what I see using hit here, whether or not it works apparently depends on the KVM switch involved.

Defective, worthless, or both!May 19, 2010
By Jerry R. Lane
The male DVI connector and the female DVI receptacle on this adapter do not have the same pin configuration. The female DVI receptacle is missing openings for the four small pins surrounding the large flat one on a standard DVI connector. The male DVI connector has the pins, the female one does not, making this adapter, in my opinion, defective, worthless, or both.
More detailed photos of the connectors on this adapter might have been helpful, since I could have noticed the discrepancies between the two DVI connectors. (I would have posted photos of mine had I thought of it before I angrily threw the adapter away.)
