Plugable USB 2.0 VGA Adapter for Multiple Monitors

The Plugable USB-VGA-165 is a reliable and easy-to-use USB to VGA adapter for monitor setups. It connects your USB-enabled laptop or desktop to any VGA-compatible monitor, projector, or TV, making it ideal for extending or mirroring your display for greater productivity and a more flexible workspace.

This VGA to USB adapter uses the DisplayLink DL-165 chipset to support resolutions up to 1920x1080 at 60Hz. Whether you're working with spreadsheets, documents, or just browsing the web, the adapter helps you increase productivity by giving you more screen space for multitasking. It supports both mirror and extended desktop modes, so you can choose the display configuration that fits your workflow best.

Ideal for use in office environments, classrooms, or remote work setups, this adapter provides a reliable VGA to USB connection without requiring an external power source. The included 1-meter USB cable offers flexibility in how you position your adapter and connected display.

The Plugable USB-VGA-165 works with Windows 11, 10, 8.1, 7, XP (32-bit only), macOS 10.14 and newer, and ChromeOS. It supports Intel, M1 (Pro, Max), M2 (Pro, Max), M3 (Pro, Max), M4 (Pro, Max), and M5 Macs on macOS 10.14+ with software installation from Plugable's website. It is compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports, and it can be used with USB-C or Thunderbolt systems via a USB-C to USB-A adapter (sold separately). Linux and ARM-based Windows systems are not supported.

Can also be used with Yamaha keyboards for connecting an external display to show music or lyrics.

This VGA to USB adapter is best suited for productivity tasks and general computing. It is not recommended for gaming, video playback, or any content protected by HDCP, such as Netflix, Hulu, or Blu-ray discs.

A DisplayLink driver is required for operation. Windows users can install the driver automatically via Windows Update, while macOS users can download the driver directly from Plugable’s website or refer to the video in the gallery images for step by step instructions.

Each adapter connects one additional display. Users who need multiple monitors can connect up to six displays on Windows or four on macOS using additional Plugable USB to VGA adapters.

This adapter is backed by Plugable’s two-year limited warranty and lifetime customer support, with assistance available from our North America-based support team.
