About this deal

Long story short, it's cheaper to go all digital from a manufacturing perspective, no more A to D conversion, and the picture looks better anyways. They probably just don't have the A to D hardware in the monitor and really didn't gear the thing for people putting the adapter on the other end. The first clue to a DisplayPort link failure will probably be your monitor switching to low resolution. This mainly affects AMD GPUs and usually occurs after waking your computer and monitor from sleep. The type of input on your display: Make sure to choose a converter that is compatible with the type of input on your display. If I remember correctly**, displayport actually can be run from VGA without an active adapter because displayport was based on DVI. Flexibility: DisplayPort converters allow you to connect a DisplayPort-equipped device to a display with a different type of input. This can be useful if you have a new laptop or computer with a DisplayPort output, but you have an older monitor or projector that only has HDMI, DVI, or VGA inputs.

DisplayPort to multi-monitor converter: This type of converter allows you to connect multiple displays to a single DisplayPort device. Troubleshoot any problems. If you are having problems with your DisplayPort converter, try troubleshooting the problem by following the steps below: VGA on the other hand is analog and requires extra equipment on the monitor side to convert analog to digital.On the monitor side however, it sounds like the monitor itself may be pure digital. My guess is that DVI-D to Display port with work, HDMI to Display Port, and obviously Display port to Display port because they're all digital. Make sure to choose the right converter for your needs. Consider the type of input on your display, the resolution and refresh rate you want to support, the audio support you need, and the number of outputs you need.

Display port to just about anything else on the computer side works because the computer is built to handle both the analog and digital output needed to make it happen, it's part of the standard.Affordability: DisplayPort converters are relatively affordable. You can find a basic DisplayPort converter form 550tk to 2,990tk. The Radeon software should alert you to the problem with an error message, but this is easy to miss when it pops up. Open the Radeon software and have a look at the notifications. The message will be:

While you can go from a displayport to VGA monitor with a basic adapter(displayport provides power, where VGA doesn't) , I don't believe it's possible (and the your link mentions) that its not possible to go from VGA to DisplayPort, what's powering the conversion of the signal?

VGA is an analog signal, but the DVI interface is a digital interface which was engineered in a way to be electrically identical to a properly functioning VGA signal, so only a pinout change is needed. (Isn't a true digital signal really just a square waveform?) In accordance with The Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 we would like to make you aware of the following important information: Read the instructions that come with your converter. This will help you to ensure that you are using the converter correctly. This converter facilitates the connection between a device with a Mini DisplayPort and a DVI display or monitor.
