How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings, help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyses reviews to verify trustworthiness.

5.0 out of 5 starsIt works
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 March 2022
I run twin monitors and one would not run at higher resolutions max 1000x700 , after fitting this display port adapter- back to 1600x1000 all fixed , who knew these things fail in stages.
The Amazon own item looks well made ad does exactly what it’s supposed to do 😃
Worth a punt before you start swapping displays, docking stations or laptops😂

2.0 out of 5 starsWorks great for CRT and 4:3 monitors, but cannot do 16:9 1080p!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 August 2020
Feel like this is total false advertising on Amazon's part. Though it works great for my CRT monitor, and even works with custom resolutions all the way down to 480i, it is not suitable for 16:9 full HD panels. This adapter is only capable of outputting at 4:3 aspect ratio, and even adding 1080p as a custom resolution results with a cropped image. Good in a pinch, but not a good enough.

I was having issues with a DP to multi adapter and decided to just go with a DP to VGA one and this was Amazon;s choice.
I is used mos days - all day - and I have not had an issue with it at all. Purchased a couple of months ago.
Running a 1980*1280 monitor.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great adapter for those with older monitors

A simple plug and play device that will help you connect your old VGA monitors to your modern computer. Tested up to 1920 x 1080 and it worked without issue. The price is a bargain and helps the environment by keeping those old monitors in use.

1.0 out of 5 stars Misleading information from Amazon Choice.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 February 2022

Ok - clearly my fault for ordering in a hurry but when you see “Amazon choice for usb to vga”, which is what I searched for, you think that’s what it does.
It doesn’t! It’s the wrong fitting for usb.
Lesson learned - always double check the description
