How long is the cable?

The cable part of the adapter is 3 3/4" long.

Will this work on a dell optiplex 7040. Wahat do I need to hook up dual monitors.

It would plug into the HDMI slot to allow a VGA connection It depends on the monitor you have and its connectors. If you wish to have the needed cable to use two VGA monitors, then yes. this would lend to that

How do I hook an extra monitor to a lap-top computer

on my dell laptop, it had hdmi out for an externsal monitor. i just pluged the old vga monitor into the adapter. then go to the control panel, monitors, to set up how you want the 2 screens to operate

Does this come with the screw posts to secure the unit to the monitor?

Hello Matthew, No, unfortunately, it doesn’t come with the screw posts. VGA side is female. So, if your monitor’s VGA input is male, you may plug it. In any case, you will need an extension cable for the other side of the cable, since it is just a short converter. Best Regards, Macrowide

Works great

I needed to attach an old computer monitor to my new laptop. Of course, the connectors didn't match. This adaptor was just the thing to get the two of them talking to each other. Works perfectly! Glad I bought it.

Worked as advertised

I needed to connect my old 24 inch Dell screen to my new Dell desktop computer tower. Unfortunately the plugs were not compatible. I had to get an adapter, and decided to stick with the Dell brand. It arrived on the date promised, and was extremely easy to plug into the screen and tower. It works perfectly and saved me the cost of a new screen. I did closely examine the two ends of the adapter to make sure I had the correct alignment of male/female plugs before ordering it. I am a happy customer.

Great OEM Quality

Used a generic brand first and it didn't work too well, caused the monitor text to be blurry. Bought this DELL brand and it worked great and was very good quality.

VGA PC to HDMI monitor

I bought this to connect my VGA PC to an HDMI monitor. However, it did not work for that application. Just thought I'd post this review for anyone looking to buy this for that application. This is not the correct product (my mistake).

Great adapter

This VGA-HDMI adapter works very well. Very easy to use and no technical issues of any kind. The quality of the image on the monitor I needed it for is excellent. I am happy with the product.

only cable that works with Dell laptop

This was the only HDMI to VGA cable that would work with my Dell computer. I use the cable to extend my laptop screen onto another monitor. I have tried other HDMI to VGA cables that were not Dell and the image that would get extended would be very blurry even after playing around with the screen settings. I am not sure if it is just a Dell compatibility thing, but either way, I am very happy. Delivery was also very swift. Less than a week to Asia from the US
