[SOLVED] VGA screen DVI - D , DVI - A or HDMI adapter?

[tedsorvino]

Hi . I've got an old lcd vga monitor and I would like to connect it on my Asus Prime 450 motherboard via one of the digital ports in order to epxeriment with my Radeon Graphic Vega 8 graphic card's scaling, custom resolution and aspect ratio capabilities. They are not available through the VGA port. Only through DVI D or HDMI

THESE ARE THE SPECS

Integrated Graphics in the 2nd and 1st Gen AMD Ryzen™ with Radeon™ Vega Graphics/ Athlon™ with Radeon™ Vega Graphics Processors
Multi-VGA output support : HDMI/DVI-D/D-Sub ports

• Supports HDMI 2.0b with maximum resolution of 4096 x 2160 @ 60 Hz
• Supports DVI-D with max. resolution 1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hz
• Supports D-sub with max. resolution 1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hz

What kind of adapter do I need in order to do so? VGA female to DVI - A male , to DVI - D or to HDMI ? Active, passive? Any example with link please.

Thanks

Then get a monitor with DVI, HDMI or DisplayPort input. The truth is that converter adapters will not give you any advantage here but most likely will make things even worse.

Maybe I 'll do. But I don't know if it's worth it for just an application I use some hours per week. Of course a more modern monitor is a must but it costs more than a converter.

Check around local electronic dumps. Sometimes they have fine stuff like working 43" TVs. Local craigslists and organisations who dump their used hardware also are good for that.

I'm about to change it, but before I throw it away I would like to experiment with a converter - adapter to see what the results are.

Please keep in mind that by converting DVI-D or HDMI digital signal to VGA (analog signal), you gain nothing!
The quality will remain at the standard of the VGA connection.
