Plugable's USB-C to VGA Adapter allows you connect a VGA display to your laptop, tablet, or desktop which supports USB 3.1 "Alternate Mode" (Alt Mode) video output functionality. Currently the MacBook Retina 12" 2015 / 2016, MacBook Pro (late 2016), Chromebook Pixel [2] 2015, Dell XPS 13 & 15 late 2015-2016 series (models 9350, 9550), and Lumia 950 / 950XL support this functionality, along with motherboards containing the Intel "Alpine Ridge" chipset.

Performance USB-C Alt Mode graphics adapters utilize a direct pipeline to the graphics processor in your system, and your connected monitor will function and perform as a natively attached display.

Compatible Systems Plug and Play installation on any Windows, Mac, or Linux host which supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode (Alt Mode) video output functionality. Adapter has been fully tested for functionality on the 2017 iMac, MacBook and MacBook Pro systems running macOS 10.12.6, MacBook Pro Late 2016, MacBook Retina 12" 2015 / 2016, Chromebook Pixel 2015 (using Chrome OS and Arch Linux), the Gigabyte "GA-Z170X-Gaming 7", "GA-Z170X-Gaming GT" and "GA-Z170X-UD5 TH" Alpine Ridge based Thunderbolt 3 motherboards, Dell XPS 9350 / 9550, Lenovo P50 and Lumia 950 / 950 XL (Lumia output is limited to 720P). Adapter supports MST, but MST must be supported by host and displays to function. For additional compatibility information, please see plugable.com/usbc-vga

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Handy adapter I was looking for something to be able to play videos from my phone on my computer monitor. This USB-C to VGA adapter came in very handy. You just connect USB-C to your phone and the VGA end to the monitor. My Dell monitor allows me to switch between multiple HDMI and VGA inputs and after switching to VGA, everything was set. Very useful.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works enough Wasn’t sure if this would work for what we need but it seems to have done the trick. Easy to get connected n set and good to go now. Most of my products lately have the usb c connection so it’s compatible with our set up.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Plug and use adapter! I read several reviews on the Plugable Technologies adapter and this one really is easy to use, and a crisp picture came up. I have another adapter (and have tried quite a few) and found this works as well if not better than other higher priced adapters.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great for work trips I had a big adapter for my home office but now I just use this at home and when I have to go into the office or make a presentation. I carry this in my work bag whenever I leave and it’s come in handy more times than I can count.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good Adapter Most laptops these days don’t have a vga port anymore, making it hard to run an external monitor...This adapter works nicely to do just that. Being driverless means you don’t have to worry about installing anything...Simply plug and play...Do wish the cord was a little longer, but not a deal breaker...It does its job and the picture is just as good.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works great This thing worked flawlessly to hook up to an old CRT monitor. This little adapter is pretty cool and no setup whatsoever. I’ve heard of people using it for projectors with the same style plug and for their gaming pc’s etc.
